About Whittier

Whittier's Uptown historic district features buildings from the late 1800s and early 1900s requiring careful electrical work that preserves architectural integrity while meeting current California Electrical Code. These historic properties often have outdated electrical systems needing panel upgrades, rewiring, and modern safety features like GFCI and AFCI protection. Newer neighborhoods need EV charger installation, smart home wiring, and modern electrical solutions. We handle Whittier's building codes and permit processes for both historic homes requiring rewiring and modern properties needing upgrades.

"Our project was to have recessed lighting installed in livingroom, center ceiling fan wiring in dining area, hide wiring in wall for TV and components, and repair outlet. We searched companies on Yelp and decided to call First Electric after reading many positive comments from customers. Michael responded promptly and provided us with quotes for different options. We didn't have to look any further. We were sold by Michael's demeanor, professionalism and honesty. He started the job in a timely manner and was very thorough making sure every detail was to his and our satisfaction. First Electric is now our preferred choice for all our electrical needs."

"Michael was great to work with. I needed some conduit routed from my Electrical panel to a patio. Michael was considerate of my schedule and communicated well and let me know immediately when he fell ill and rescheduled. He completed the work exactly as we agreed on and made sure I was satisfied with the work. I plan to continue to use him for other projects."
