"Power Up Electric did outstanding work rewiring my whole house after an unfortunate electrical fire in my garage five years ago. They were very efficient, neat, and took real pride in the quality of their work. For the last five years they have been my go to electrical company. Telephone response is prompt, service is offered quickly, prices are fair and every electrician who has come to my home as been reliable. When friends and family need to have electrical work done, I always recommend Power Up Electric."

"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."

"Excellent! Haik and his crew had the unfortunate task of correcting an illegal job done by another electrician. Haik and his crew immediately came to work on our condo. They were courteous, punctual, and very professional. The work was inspected, as required by law, with no citations. As a last minute request, they also upgraded 3 of our outlets and replaced a light switch without changing the amount to our original contract. Their quote was competitive and I felt good working with an honest company. What Haik said they would do was promptly, efficiently, and correctly accomplished. A definite gold star and will not hesitate in calling him if any electrical work needs to be done."

Electrical FAQs, answered by experts

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?

Consider electrical upgrades in Pasadena if your home has knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, outdated panels, or frequent breaker trips.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.

Helpful?

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?

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?

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.
