Electrician in Highland Park, Open 24/7

Highland Park has one of the largest concentrations of Craftsman bungalows in Los Angeles, and much of it sits inside the Highland Park–Garvanza Historic Preservation Overlay Zone. Many of these homes were built before 1930 and still carry knob-and-tube wiring, 60 or 100 amp service, and two-prong outlets.

The neighborhood isn’t all Craftsman, though. The historic district’s homes run from the 1880s to the early 1960s, with Victorians, American Foursquares, Colonial Revival and Spanish Mission Revival houses mixed in on the same blocks. Many have been added onto and rewired in pieces over the decades. On a first visit we look for cloth-insulated wiring, ungrounded outlets, overloaded circuits feeding kitchens and additions, and old splices in attics and crawl spaces, so you know exactly what you’re working with.

At the same time, new owners are adding EV chargers, heat pumps and ADUs. We help plan the electrical side so an older house can carry modern loads, and we tell you what can stay and what should go.

Highland Park is part of the City of Los Angeles, so electrical permits go through LADBS and service is from LADWP.
