Electrician in Valley Village, California

Valley Village is small lot single family housing packed with 1950s and 1960s duplexes and fourplexes. Meter stacks here are frequently original, which is the single most common reason we get called.

Valley Village grew out of North Hollywood, where studio workers built homes in the 1930s and the local post office used a Valley Village postmark long before the city recognized the name. The single family streets are mostly one story Spanish and ranch houses, many around 1,700 square feet. Along the main boulevards, apartment and condo buildings went up in waves until residents pushed for height limits in the 1980s. Small lot subdivisions and townhomes have filled in more recently.

More than two thirds of households rent, and duplex and fourplex owners make up most of our Valley Village work. Besides meter equipment, those buildings tend to have unit panels with too few spaces, shared laundry circuits and exterior lighting wired from one tenant's panel. Single family owners in the 1930s and 1940s houses call about knob and tube remnants, ungrounded circuits and service upgrades for remodels. Newer townhome owners ask almost entirely about EV chargers in tight garages.
