Electrician in Tarzana
Tarzana runs the full range, from the flats along Ventura Boulevard to the larger hillside homes south of the 101. That mix is why no two electrical jobs here look the same. A condo near the boulevard and a custom house up in the hills have different panels, different loads and different problems, and we quote each for what it actually is rather than a flat rate off a price list.
A.D.I. Electrical Services is a licensed C-10 electrical contractor, LIC# 977443, working across Tarzana and the surrounding Valley. We are based minutes away in 91367, so Tarzana is close ground for us.
What the Tarzana housing stock needs
The older ranch and tract homes in the Tarzana flats were built in the 1950s and 1960s and carry the wiring and panels of that period. Many are on service that is full or close to it, and the larger remodelled homes often push well past what the original panel was designed to carry. Add central air, a pool, a couple of EV chargers and a modern kitchen, and a 100 or 125 amp service runs out of headroom fast.
Up in the Tarzana hills, the bigger homes bring their own issues: long cable runs, multiple sub-panels, landscape and pool wiring, and standby power for the outages that hit the hillside harder than the flats. These are jobs that reward an electrician who plans the load properly rather than bolting on another circuit and hoping.
What we do in Tarzana
The work here leans toward panel upgrades, rewiring and whole-home projects, but we cover everything. A 200 amp panel upgrade starts at $1,949 and is the usual fix when a home has outgrown its service. For older homes with cloth-insulated or aluminium branch wiring, rewiring removes a genuine fire risk rather than papering over it. We also install EV chargers, recessed and landscape lighting, whole house fans and standby generators.
For faults, a breaker that keeps tripping or a section of the house with no power gets a proper diagnosis, not a reset. The diagnostic visit is $199 for two hours of labour, and the $129 panel labeling and home inspection maps every circuit while we are on site, which is genuinely useful in a larger home where nobody is sure what feeds what.
Permits and the local setup
Tarzana is part of the City of Los Angeles, so electrical work is permitted and inspected through LADBS. We pull the permit where the job requires one and leave the work ready to pass. On the hillside homes especially, permitted work matters, because an unpermitted panel or sub-panel is the kind of thing that stalls a sale later. Power is supplied by LADWP.
Working on bigger and remodelled homes
A lot of Tarzana work is tied to remodels, new kitchens, added rooms, converted garages, and that is where a licensed electrician earns the fee. We make sure the service can carry the new load, that sub-panels are sized right, and that the new circuits are on their own breakers rather than piggybacked onto something already stretched. If the panel needs to come first, we tell you up front so the remodel is not held up halfway through.
Standby power for the Tarzana hills
The homes up in the Tarzana hills sit closer to the fire zone than the flats, which means they feel the planned Public Safety Power Shutoffs more often. When the utility cuts power during high fire-risk weather, a hillside home can be dark for hours or days. A standby generator covers that, starting on its own and running the home through the outage. Our whole house generator including installation starts at $4,995, sized to what you want kept running. For a hillside home that also has a pool, long cable runs and sub-panels, the generator is usually planned alongside the rest of the electrical system rather than bolted on afterwards, which is the kind of whole-home thinking these properties reward.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. We work across all of Tarzana, from the homes along Ventura Boulevard to the larger hillside properties south of the 101. The jobs differ a lot between the two, so we quote each home for what it actually needs. Call (866) 561-7545.
A 200 amp panel upgrade starts at $1,949. Larger and remodelled Tarzana homes sometimes need more than a standard upgrade, so we confirm the price after seeing the panel, the service size and the load you want it to carry.
Yes. Many of the older Tarzana flats have cloth-insulated or aluminium branch wiring that degrades over time and becomes a fire risk. We rewire these properly rather than working around them, and we tell you plainly when the wiring, not the panel, is the real issue.
Yes. A lot of our Tarzana work is tied to remodels and additions. We check that your service can carry the new load, size any sub-panels correctly, and put new circuits on their own breakers. If the panel needs upgrading first, we flag it before the remodel stalls.
