You will find answers to all of your most common Electrical Services related questions located here.
Are you a licensed and insured electrical contractor in Los Angeles?
Yes, Wirely Electrical Contractor Inc. is fully licensed, insured, and bonded to perform electrical work throughout Los Angeles and surrounding areas. We carry full liability insurance and workers’ compensation, so you have peace of mind knowing your property and our team are protected. We’re happy to provide our license number and proof of insurance upon request.
Do you install electric vehicle (EV) charging stations?
Absolutely. We specialize in Level 2 EV charger installations for both residential and commercial properties. Our team handles everything from site assessment and load calculations to permitting and final inspection. We’re experienced with all major EV brands including Tesla, ChargePoint, and JuiceBox, and we stay current with NEC and California building codes to ensure every installation is safe and code-compliant .
When should I consider upgrading my electrical panel?
You should consider upgrading your electrical panel if: you experience frequent tripped breakers, your home still has a 100-amp service (most modern homes need 200 amps), you’re adding major appliances like an EV charger, air conditioning, or solar panels, or your panel is outdated (like Federal Pacific or Zinsco brands). If you’re unsure, our team can perform a load calculation to determine if your current panel can safely handle your electrical needs.
Do I need a permit for electrical work in Los Angeles?
Yes, most electrical work in Los Angeles requires a permit from the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS). This includes panel upgrades, EV charger installations, home rewiring, and new construction. Our team handles the entire permitting process for you—we pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and ensure all work passes LADBS inspection. Working with a licensed contractor who knows local codes saves you time, headaches, and potential safety issues .
