About Santa Fe Springs
Santa Fe Springs combines residential neighborhoods around Lake Center and Heritage Park with one of the region’s busiest industrial corridors along Carmenita, Telegraph, and nearby freeways. Warehouses and manufacturers need reliable three-phase power, panel capacity, and fast troubleshooting when production lines stop. Retail and TI clients need code-compliant build-outs on tight schedules. Homeowners in older tracts often need panel upgrades before EV or ADU projects. We match the scope — industrial commercial first when that is the job, careful residential work when it is your home — and we document permits and inspections properly.

We are nearby in La Mirada. Planned projects get scheduled windows; urgent safety issues get prioritized when you call our main line — a live team member, not an AI system.
Process Questions
We do not give blind estimates over the phone. After we understand your Santa Fe Springs project and, when needed, visit the site, we provide a custom written quote with scope and pricing spelled out. Call (657) 239-6331 to start.
Most panel change-outs take one day (often 4–8 hours of power-off work). Utility meter appointments, underground service, or a full service relocation can add schedule time. We confirm the timeline after we see your panel and coordinate with the utility when needed.
No — service and panel work is not DIY. In California, electrical contracting for hire requires a C-10 license, and even homeowner work still needs permits and inspection. Mistakes at the service equipment create fire and electrocution risk. We handle permit, utility coordination, and inspection.
Yes. C-10 #1120441 — bonded and insured. Commercial and industrial work is a core part of our Santa Fe Springs service.
Service Questions
Yes. We upgrade main panels and subpanels for Santa Fe Springs homes, including 200A upgrades when load requires it. Every job is different — we provide a custom quote after we see your site. Typical panel upgrade projects often start around $4,957 in labor (14 hours at our standard rate) before materials, permits, and scope; there is no one-size-fits-all maximum.
Yes — many carriers ask about panel brand, age, and aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring at renewal or sale. An outdated or recalled-style panel can raise premiums or block coverage. A permitted CEC/NEC-compliant upgrade is the clean fix.
Insurers often flag Federal Pacific (FPE), Zinsco/Sylvania, and some Pushmatic or damaged fuse panels. Coverage rules vary by carrier. If your insurer requires a panel replacement, we document the existing gear, upgrade to modern listed equipment, and help you pass inspection so you can close the claim requirement.

"Electric panel upgrade, he was polite, professional and very helpful"
"I needed an electrical panel upgrade so I went to YELP for a referral. I requested several quotes and Michael was the first to respond (within minutes). We scheduled an appointment for the following day. He showed up at the precise scheduled time and thoroughly inspected the project and gave me a detailed plan on what was needed. After evaluating several other companies, I decided to go with Michael. His wasn’t the most expensive nor cheapest but his professionalism helped make my decision. He pulled the permit and contacted Edison before starting the job. About a week later we scheduled an appointment for installation, most of which was completed the first day. He came back the next to finish up a few things (cleaning the area each day.) He scheduled his patch & repair person in the following days and the final inspection. My only complaint would be that his patch & repair person was not as meticulous about cleaning the area after he finished his job. Otherwise, from start to finish I am pleased with the outcome. I told Michael he’s my electrician for life now!! Don’t hesitate in hiring him - you won’t be disappointed."
"I recently had First Electric upgrade my electrical panel, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! Michael came over to do the work, and he was super friendly and really knew his stuff. He explained everything in a way that made sense, so I felt totally comfortable with the whole process. The upgrade itself was done quickly and without any issues, and Michael even noticed a couple of other things around the house that needed some attention, which he fixed right on the spot! I didn’t feel rushed or pressured at all, which I really appreciated. If you need any electrical work done, especially something as important as a panel upgrade, I’d definitely recommend First Electric. I’m so glad I went with them!"
