Electrician in Westlake Village, California

Westlake Village was laid out as a master planned community around the lake starting in the late 1960s, and the city covers the Los Angeles County side of it. Homes from the first phases are now more than fifty years old, which is when original panels and undersized services start showing up on inspection reports.

Housing in the city ranges from the original late 1960s and 1970s single family homes and townhomes to custom homes in later hillside neighborhoods like Three Springs and around Foxfield. The early homes were well built but sized for the appliances of their era, so 100 and 150 amp services with original panels are common. Lakefront and lake view homes add boat docks, outdoor lighting and pool equipment that all draw from the same service.

Much of the community sits under homeowners associations, which typically review exterior changes such as meter relocations or wall mounted batteries. Typical jobs are panel replacements in the older homes, EV chargers, solar and battery additions, and remodels that need more capacity than the original service can provide. Townhome and condo complexes also have shared meter banks that reach the end of their life as a group, which needs planning with the association.
