Before you hire
Check the electrician's C-10 license on the CSLB website, ask whether the job needs a permit, and get the quote in writing.
Hillside homes
Homes in the Hollywood Hills often have long runs between the panel and the rooms that need power, which affects the cost of new circuits and EV chargers.
Duplexes and older apartments
Many units have only one or two outlets per room and shared circuits. Adding outlets or a dedicated kitchen circuit is a common fix.
Permits and utility
Hollywood is part of the City of Los Angeles, so permits come from LADBS and power from LADWP. Your electrician normally pulls the permit and books the inspection.
Before you call: three quick checks
- Check the panel. A breaker in the middle position, or flipped the other way from the rest, has tripped. Push it fully off, then back on.
- Reset GFCI outlets. Outlets with Test and Reset buttons protect kitchens, baths, garages and outdoor outlets. One tripped GFCI can cut power to several outlets.
- Unplug what is on the circuit. If the breaker trips again right away, leave it off and get it checked.
Smell burning, see sparks or feel heat at an outlet or panel? Turn the breaker off if it is safe to reach and do not use that circuit.
