Electrician in Rossmoor, California

Rossmoor is an unincorporated pocket of 1950s tract housing, so the County of Orange handles the permit. Most homes are still on the panel they were built with.

Developer Ross Cortese built the community between 1955 and 1961, filing 13 subdivision maps for 3,430 single family homes plus one apartment complex and one townhouse complex. A red brick wall still runs around the whole community and marks the line with Los Alamitos and Seal Beach. Residents voted against becoming a city in 2008, so it remains unincorporated, with a community services district handling parks, street lighting and sweeping while the County makes land use decisions.

Homes built in the late 1950s often came with 60 or 100 amp services, two wire circuits without grounds, and panels from brands that insurers now question, including Federal Pacific and Zinsco. Many houses have been expanded with second stories, family rooms and pools, sometimes on the original service. The calls we get are insurance driven panel replacements, service upgrades for additions and remodels, partial rewires of ungrounded circuits, and EV chargers for owners who have outgrown the garage outlet.
