Electrician in Mid Wilshire, California

Mid Wilshire runs from prewar apartment towers to postwar office buildings, so the electrical work skews larger: building wide services, house panels and three phase gear. LADBS plan check is usually part of the schedule.

Off the boulevard, Mid Wilshire is mostly residential. South of Wilshire, streets like those in Wilshire Vista and Brookside are lined with 1920s and 1930s Spanish revival duplexes and fourplexes, many of them built to look like single family houses. Fremont Place and Windsor Village add larger period homes, and Park La Brea at the north edge is one of the largest apartment complexes in the country. Office towers and older commercial buildings line Wilshire itself, especially along the Park Mile and Miracle Mile stretches.

The classic Mid Wilshire duplex has the upper and lower units on separate small services, often installed with a meter cluster on a side wall decades ago. We find fuse panels, two wire wiring and overloaded kitchen circuits in those buildings, and aging switchgear in the offices on Wilshire. Duplex owners call about splitting or upgrading meters and adding central AC. Commercial owners call about tenant improvement work and gear that an insurer or lender wants replaced.
