"PowerUp Electric did an extensive rewiring of my parent's 1914 home. The wiring was a real mess with a mix old and new wiring. Gabriel, Martin, and Frank were wonderful. We really appreciated their attention to every detail, their follow-up, and expertise! Prior to hiring PowerUp, we had a few other electricians come out to see what was needed, but we did not feel comfortable with their knowledge of how to extensively rewire the home. Frank came out and was very thorough in his evaluation of the current wiring and what was needed to bring the wiring up-to-date. Gabriel worked with us to give us a very competitive price and was extremely accommodating in his working with all the other contractors onsite: pluming, plaster repair, flooring, framers, etc at the same time. We felt that the whole team, Gabriel, Martin, and Frank worked well together and quickly performed all the work needed and helped us make critical decisions with regard to recommended work. At the very end, we had a very old candelabra which had sentimental value which was shorted out. Martin took the candelabra back to the shop and completely fixed it! We are very pleased with PowerUp Electric and would recommend them for any project! We certainly will hire them again if we need any further electrical work!"

Can't recommend them high enough!"

"Paul from Fairway Electric responded promptly with a good quote and even scheduled the work to be performed on Saturday morning so I would not have to take off work. I had 3 light fixtures replaced. The electrician Chris was great, efficient, and professional. Excellent customer service from Fairway Electric. I would highly recommend them if you need assistance with electrical work. Thanks Fairway Electric"

"The electricians took care of everything and did so in a professional manner- and were fast! I would definitely recommend and would use EL Electric again. I felt the price was pretty reasonable. I got a 10% discount because of my Angie's list membership."

"Mr. Johnson and his crew have performed a fewjobs from lighting installations, to doorbell repair, to rewiring. Every job has been done well and at a reasonable price. The workers were respectful and very helpful at explaining the work they did before they left. What really set this outfit apart is Mr. Johnson himself. He always returns calls, his crews show up on time and perform the work expediently. On top of this, when I have had questions about other electrical concerns, Mr. Johnson takes time to have a phone call to consult on the issue. Mr. Johnson and his company are of high integrity and I would highly recommend them for any residential electric work."

"Electric Zone is a company that I would highly recommend. Haik is a consummate professional. He and his team are punctual, efficient, polite and very patient when answering questions. Previously, I had work done on my house and the contractor just left the project without completing it. The part that was not completed was causing a lot of problems and stress for my family. The circuit breaker kept tripping and one of the junction boxes melted an electric oven that we used to use. Electric Zone took care of the entire problem and left their entire working area perfectly clean. They left no debris anywhere. My family and I are extremely happy with Haik and the entire team from Electric Zone."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

For a smooth electrical project in Pasadena, start by gathering all necessary permits and planning for city inspections. Schedule work to avoid major events like the Rose Parade, which can impact traffic and access. Choose contractors familiar with Pasadena’s historic homes and seismic requirements. Confirm your contractor’s insurance and references, and coordinate with your HOA if your neighborhood has specific guidelines.

Helpful?

Completing electrical upgrades in Pasadena provides immediate safety improvements, supports modern technology, and ensures code compliance. Over time, you’ll benefit from increased property value, lower utility bills, and readiness for electric vehicle charging. These projects also help prepare your home for wildfires or earthquakes and contribute to Pasadena’s sustainability goals, making neighborhoods safer and more energy-efficient.

Helpful?

To make electrical projects safer in Pasadena, use tamper-resistant outlets and install GFCI protection in kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor areas. Protect exposed wiring with conduit, especially in garages or yards where pets and local wildlife are active. Create clear work zones, consider motion-sensor lighting for nighttime safety, and try to schedule electrical upgrades when children are at school to minimize risks.

Helpful?

Homeowners in Pasadena should consider historic district restrictions, especially for Craftsman or Spanish Colonial homes, which may limit exterior changes. The local climate, including Santa Ana winds and high summer temperatures, can affect scheduling and safety. Seismic requirements, utility grid upgrades, and available rebates for energy-efficient improvements are also important. Consulting local experts ensures your project meets Pasadena’s unique needs.

Helpful?

Consider electrical upgrades in Pasadena if your home has knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, outdated panels, or frequent breaker trips. Watch for flickering lights, warm outlets, or burning smells. Plan projects in spring or fall to avoid extreme heat, and consider upgrades before wildfire season or after local earthquakes to improve safety and reliability for your household.
