Electrician in Lincoln Heights, California

Lincoln Heights is one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city, with Victorian and Craftsman housing plus a lot of small multi unit buildings. Meter stacks and full rewires both come up constantly.

Subdivided in 1873 as East Los Angeles, and renamed in 1917, this neighborhood is often called the first suburb of Los Angeles. Wealthy industrialists built Victorians here in the late 1800s, and many were later divided into apartments as the area became working class. Today most households rent. That means a lot of houses converted to multiple units with wiring added piece by piece, alongside newer small apartment buildings and corner commercial buildings with flats upstairs.

Along the river, the city's first industrial corridor left warehouses and plants, some now reused as studios and creative space. In the residential core, we see Victorians and Craftsman houses with mixed generations of wiring, from early knob and tube to modern cable spliced in by different hands. Landlords are our biggest group of callers here, often after an insurance inspection or when a building is bought and the new owner wants proper metering for each unit.
