Service area
Electrician in Malibu
Malibu combines every complicating factor we deal with elsewhere: salt air, canyon access, very long runs from the service, wildfire exposure and power that cannot be relied upon to stay on.
Electrical work in Malibu
Properties here are frequently a long way from the road and further still from the nearest neighbour, which makes the distance between the service point and anything useful the first design question rather than an afterthought. Combine that with Public Safety Power Shutoffs and a genuine wildfire risk, and standby generators and battery systems account for more of our Malibu work than any other single category. Coastal properties add corrosion on top — exterior equipment ages faster here than almost anywhere — while the canyon properties trade that for access constraints, where simply getting a crew and materials to the site shapes the schedule.
Malibu questions
How big a generator do I need?
Smaller than most people expect, if it is sized properly. Backing up an entire house means a large unit, a large fuel supply and a large bill. Backing up what you actually need during an outage — refrigeration, some lighting, water, networking, one HVAC zone, medical equipment if relevant — is a far more modest installation. We size against a circuit list you choose rather than against the whole panel, and we will tell you what the difference costs.
Do you take on rebuild work after fire loss?
Yes. Rebuild electrical is a full rough-in to current code, with an inspection sequence tied to the rest of the construction rather than run independently, so it has to be coordinated with the general contractor's programme. Tell us what stage you are at, who else is on the job, and whether the service and meter location are staying where they were — that last point often decides more than it sounds like it should.
