Electrician in Agoura Hills, California

Agoura Hills mixes 1960s and 1970s tract neighborhoods with Old Agoura, where large horse property lots put barns, arenas and guest houses on the same service. Many homes still carry their original equipment, and the 2018 Woolsey Fire left some neighborhoods with a mix of rebuilt and original homes side by side.

Most of Agoura Hills was developed from the 1960s through the 1980s, with neighborhoods like Lake Lindero and Morrison Ranch typical of that period. Those homes started with 100 or 150 amp services and builder panels that are now forty to sixty years old. Original panels, overloaded subpanels added by past owners, and services with no spare capacity are what we find most. Insurance letters and remodel plans tend to bring these to the surface.

Old Agoura is different: larger lots, horse property and long private drives where the meter may be a long way from the house. Barns, arena lighting, well pumps and guest houses often hang off one service, so sizing a new main means counting the whole property. Homes rebuilt after the Woolsey Fire have modern equipment, while their neighbors may not. Across the city, EV chargers and solar plus storage drive many of the calls.
