Whittier issues we see with emergency electrical services

About Whittier
First Electric is a licensed C-10 shop based in La Mirada (C-10 #1120441). We cover Uptown historic and plaster homes, East and South Whittier tracts, West Whittier edges, and small commercial suites on Greenleaf.
People call when something stopped working: a dead receptacle, a breaker that will not hold, half a house dark, or a panel that feels warm. We fix that first. When the service is maxed out (no spare slots, unsafe gear, or load that will not support an ADU or Level 2 charger), we plan the upgrade honestly and pull the permit. Fire or life-safety emergency? Call 911 first, then us.

Service Questions
Anything that risks fire or shock now: sparking panels or outlets, smoke, burning smells from electrical gear, exposed live conductors, flooded electrical equipment, or a dead panel with unknown cause. If unsure, call. We would rather triage than have you wait on a hazard.
Call right away for burning smells, sparking, tingling outlets, breakers that will not reset, hot switch plates, or partial power loss. For non-emergencies (remodel circuits, EV planning, flickering lights), schedule a diagnosis before the fault escalates.
Protect people first. For fire or smoke, call 911. Avoid water near electrical equipment. If you can reach the main breaker safely, shut it off. Then call (657) 239-6331 for emergency electrical response.

What Whittier Customers Say About Emergency Electrical Services
Trusted emergency electrical services services in Whittier
Susan T.
Alhambra, CA
"It's a Sunday, the fan I ordered was delivered and I desperately wanted it installed since weekday scheduling is tough for me. I yelped and his business popped up as 24/7 so I reached out and Michael was quick to reply. I shared links/photos of my fans and he was able to provide a quote (fair), contract and same day time slots. Aside me getting lucky with his schedule, he was respectful with my no outdoor shoes inside the house request since I have young children's. He ran into some hiccups during install but quickly resolved with a Home Depot run. Overall I appreciated that he was respectful, well mannered, patient and did quality work. I am particular with aesthetic so he was careful in not damaging the ceiling to the best of his ability instead of glossing over my request."
