Electrician in Tujunga, California

Tujunga is older foothill housing on hillside lots, a lot of it built before the war and expanded since. Original services and long runs to detached structures are the usual findings, permitted through LADBS.

Tujunga began as the Little Landers colony in the 1910s, a back to the land settlement where families farmed small plots, and after World War I many people built their own homes here, often on foundations of local river boulders. That self built heritage shows in the wiring. Rooms were added by owners, outbuildings were wired with whatever was on hand, and later owners kept extending. A rewire here usually begins with a full property walk to find out what is actually connected to what.

Lots run larger than in the flat Valley, and many back up to the hills or the Big Tujunga Wash. Detached workshops, studios and garages are common, and so are long underground or overhead feeders that have aged badly. Fire risk is a real concern on the canyon edges, and some owners want their panels and service equipment brought up to date for that reason alone. We also see steady demand for heat pumps and EV charging as more families move up from the city.
