Electrician in Universal City, California

Universal City is a small unincorporated pocket of commercial and studio adjacent property, so the electrical work here skews commercial: three phase panels, tenant improvements and service capacity. Permits run through LA County, and the service can be LADWP or Edison depending on the parcel.

Universal City is mostly one property: the Universal Studios lot, theme park, CityWalk and the hotels and office towers around them, roughly 300 acres of unincorporated county land with almost no permanent residents. County firefighters and the Sheriff's Department cover it. The streets around it in Studio City, Toluca Lake and the Hollywood Hills are City of Los Angeles, and some nearby addresses use a Universal City mailing name while sitting inside the city.

Electrical work in and around Universal City is mostly commercial: office suites, production support spaces, retail and food tenants, and the equipment that keeps them running. What we get asked about is usually a tenant space that needs more capacity, a panel replacement in an older office building, or dedicated circuits for production equipment. The park and studio infrastructure is its own world, so we focus on the smaller commercial jobs and on residential properties in the hills just outside it.
