Electrical work in Simi Valley
For recurring power problems, describe what you notice during normal use and report suspected utility-service issues to the electricity provider. We assess property wiring as appropriate. For an outbuilding or workshop, share the distance, route and equipment requirements. Confirm the applicable permit process, utility responsibilities and any access constraints for the project before work is scheduled.
Common questions
My power flickers in high wind. Is that my problem or Edison's?
Flickering can involve utility equipment or the property’s wiring. Whether neighbors are affected is useful information, but it does not establish the cause or who owns a particular component. Report wind-related service problems to SCE and arrange assessment of the property wiring as needed. Do not touch service wires. For a downed line, stay at least 100 feet away and call 911 from a safe place.

Can you run power to a workshop at the back of a large lot?
Yes, and the usual approach is a feeder to a subpanel at the workshop rather than individual circuits run the full distance. That keeps the long run to one cable and gives you circuit space where you need it. Conductor size follows the distance and the intended load — tell us roughly how far and what will be running, and we can tell you what it takes.
