What we handle
Sherman Oaks electrical help, from tripping breakers to panel upgrades
A breaker that keeps tripping is a good reason to pick up the phone. So is a subpanel with no room left for a new circuit, or a switch that flips on its own. We handle the small repair and the big upgrade the same way: find the cause, explain it, and test the result.
Tell us what is happening and we will give you the price on the call. You can also browse all the areas we serve if you are not sure we reach your street.

Local conditions
Split-level roofs, remodels and tight panels: local conditions we plan around
Many Sherman Oaks homes have unusual rooflines. On a split-level, the attic above a kitchen can be hard to reach, so we look for a nearby hatch or storage space before cutting into a finished ceiling.
Remodels are the other common thread. Homes here get new rooms, new appliances and mini-split air conditioners, and the existing panel does not always have the space for the extra circuits.
Remodels and additions
One customer on our Sherman Oaks profile tells how new cable had been run on top of an existing circuit before the walls were closed, and how it was rerouted and photographed first. Catching a wiring conflict before drywall goes up is far cheaper than finding it afterward.
Field notes
A kitchen recessed light that shut off after ten minutes: field notes
A kitchen recessed light that shut off after ten minutes
A Sherman Oaks split-level home had a recessed kitchen light that turned off after ten minutes and came back once it cooled. The supply stayed at 121V, so the fault was heat: insulation around an older housing and an unsuitable lamp. We reached it through a storage hatch, replaced the housing with an insulation-rated one, and the light stayed on through an hour-long test.
A light that returns after cooling deserves an installation check as well as a lamp check.
Our electrician from Sherman Oaks
A recording room with a hum
A Sherman Oaks recording room hummed after a remodel. The owner first suggested lifting the protective ground to quiet it. We explained why that was not an option, found a defective equipment-ground connection, fixed it and kept the ground in place.
A corroded switch by the pool equipment
Irrigation spray had corroded a lighting switch at a Sherman Oaks pool equipment area. We replaced the switch and enclosure with parts suited to the exposure and moved the wiring away from the splash.

From the recessed-light job: the customer noticed the light always went off after about ten minutes. That timing was the clue that pointed us to heat before we opened the ceiling.

“Had an outlet fixed in my kitchen, electrician chatted about his dog while sorting it out pretty chill.”
Hazel Mae Butil Larayos · 2 months ago
“Got the fan up quick, no fuss, and it doesn’t wobble like the old one.”
Jingle Pauran Lirongan · 2 months ago
“We installed a 2-ton ductless mini-split to our detached home office and had it shut down as soon as our home HVAC man came in and saw at our sub panel that there was no room to install the circuit (dedicated) that the new unit needed to draw 30 amps from. The electrician changed four single-pole breakers with slim-fit tandem breakers to free up two places to fit the new breakers, added a dedicated 30 amp circuit to the location of the outdoor condenser, and the HVAC finished the refrigerant connections with the project’s commissioning this afternoon when the system started up and the office was cooled to the set temperature in just 20 minutes.”
