About Whittier
Whittier’s mix of historic Uptown fabric and postwar neighborhoods means two different job types: gentle rewires and AFCI/GFCI upgrades where access is tight, and straightforward panel and EV projects in newer areas. Many homes still run 100A services that cannot support today’s kitchens and EV load — we model demand before recommending upgrades. We plan fishing routes, minimize unnecessary drywall damage, and keep retail and restaurant downtime low along Greenleaf and Philadelphia.

Yes. New circuits, panel changes, and most remodel electrical require permits under the California Electrical Code. We coordinate with your GC and pull electrical permits when required.
We start with a scope walkthrough: sometimes selective openings and fishing are enough; other times plaster or lathe needs careful patching partners. We explain tradeoffs up front so you know where access is required before we cut.
Service Questions
Under recent NEC/CEC cycles, AFCI is required for most dwelling unit living areas — bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, hallways, closets, and similar. Exact room lists follow the code edition your city adopted. We install listed AFCI breakers or combination devices where the AHJ requires them.
Yes under CEC/NEC 210.8 for dwelling units — kitchen countertop receptacles and laundry areas require GFCI protection. Refrigerator circuits have specific rules depending on the adopted code cycle; we apply what your inspector enforces.
Existing untouched circuits may be grandfathered until modified. When we remodel a kitchen or bath, replace receptacles in GFCI-required locations, or add circuits, the CEC generally requires GFCI protection for those outlets. Upgrading GFCI/AFCI during a remodel is both a code and safety win.

"Michael was awesome. Helped us replace/upgrade a couple of light fixtures and did a great job. The lights give our place a more modern look. He was efficient and I would definitely recommend!"
Steph G.

"I had a previous electrician give a very high quote to fix my ceiling fan/light so I wanted to get another quote. Michael was very responsive and we were able to quickly schedule an appointment to easily fix the problem at a fair price. If you're looking for an electrician in La Mirada, I'd highly recommend Michael at First Electric!"
