Electrician in Winnetka
Winnetka sits right next to us. A.D.I. Electrical Services works out of 91367 in Woodland Hills, so Winnetka is a few minutes up the road, not a city we drive across town to reach. When you call for a tripping breaker or a dead outlet, that closeness is the difference between waiting half a day and having an electrician at the door the same afternoon.
We are a licensed C-10 electrical contractor, LIC# 977443, covering homes and small businesses across Winnetka and the west San Fernando Valley. Panel upgrades, repairs, EV chargers, rewiring, lighting and generators, all handled by licensed electricians rather than handymen.
The homes we work on in Winnetka
Winnetka filled in mostly through the 1950s and 1960s, single-storey tract houses built fast for returning families. Those homes were wired for a 1960s power load: a television, a fridge, a few lamps. They were never meant to run a modern kitchen, central air, a couple of EV chargers and a home office at the same time. That mismatch is behind most of the calls we get here, from breakers that trip under normal use to panels that have simply run out of room.
A good number of these houses still have their original service. Some are on 100 amp panels that are full, and a handful still carry the Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels that were common in that era and are known to fail quietly. If that is your home, the panel is usually the first thing worth looking at, because almost everything else depends on it.
What we do in Winnetka
The common jobs here are panel upgrades, repairs and EV charger installs, but the full range is available. A 200 amp panel upgrade starts at $1,949 and is the fix when your service is maxed out or your panel is one of the unsafe brands. For electric vehicles, we install home chargers wired on their own circuit, sized to the car and the panel. We also handle rewiring for older homes, recessed and landscape lighting, whole house fans, and standby generators.
If a breaker keeps tripping or half the house loses power, that is a repair call, and we diagnose the cause rather than just resetting it. Our diagnostic visit is $199 for two hours of labour, and a full panel labeling with a home electrical inspection is $129 if you want every circuit checked and mapped while we are there.
Local permits and inspections
Winnetka is part of the City of Los Angeles, so electrical work here is permitted and inspected through LADBS, the Department of Building and Safety. As a licensed contractor we pull the permit where the job needs one and leave the work in a state that passes inspection. That matters when you sell the house, and it means the wiring was signed off by the city rather than done quietly and hoped over.
Power in Winnetka is supplied by LADWP. When an outage hits the area, check whether the problem is on their side or inside your home before you call anyone out. If every house on the street is dark, it is the utility. If it is only your home, or only part of it, that is usually a panel or a main connection issue, and that is us.
Why homeowners here call us
We are close, we are licensed, and we tell you what the job actually needs instead of padding it. If your panel is fine, we say so. If it is a safety problem, we show you why. Every quote is given before the work starts, so the number you hear is the number you pay. For a trade where you are letting a stranger into your home and trusting the wiring behind your walls, that straightforwardness is what brings people back.
Small business and rental electrical work
Winnetka is not only houses. The strip along the main roads carries small businesses, and there are plenty of rentals and converted units across the neighbourhood. These bring their own electrical work: adding circuits for new equipment, bringing older commercial panels up to a safe standard, fixing the overloaded wiring that comes from a space being used for more than it was built for. We handle this the same way as the residential jobs, licensed, permitted where needed, and quoted before we start. If you own a rental here and a tenant is reporting tripping breakers or dead outlets, that is worth looking at sooner rather than later, because an overloaded circuit in a unit you do not live in is a risk you do not see.

A 200 amp panel upgrade starts at $1,949. The final price depends on your current service size, the condition of the panel and the run to the meter, so we confirm it after seeing the panel. Many Winnetka homes still on original 100 amp service need this before adding EV charging or central air.
Yes. We install home EV chargers on a dedicated circuit, sized to your vehicle and your panel. If your panel is full or undersized, which is common in the older Winnetka tract homes, we will tell you whether it needs upgrading first and quote both together.
