Residential Electrical Services Los Angeles
Power your home the right way.
Electrical work is the backbone of every remodel — and one of the most common areas where shortcuts cause problems. At Forma Homes, our licensed electricians handle everything from panel upgrades and recessed lighting to smart home wiring and EV charger installation. Every circuit is sized correctly, every connection is clean, and every job is permitted and inspected. Panel upgrades are one of our most requested electrical services. Most homes built before 1990 in Los Angeles have 100-amp panels that cannot support modern electrical loads — induction cooktops, EV chargers, HVAC systems, home offices with multiple monitors, and the general increase in connected devices. We upgrade to 200-amp or 400-amp panels with modern breakers, proper labeling, and room for future expansion. Recessed lighting transforms how a room looks and feels. We design custom lighting layouts for kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms, and outdoor spaces — with proper spacing, dimming, and color temperature selection. We install both new construction and remodel-style fixtures, and we coordinate with your designer on placement if you have one. Under-cabinet lighting, landscape lighting, and accent lighting are details that separate a finished home from a refined one. LED tape under kitchen cabinets, step lights along pathways, uplighting on architectural features — these are the details we install cleanly with dedicated circuits and proper drivers. Smart home wiring is increasingly standard in Los Angeles luxury homes. We pre-wire for home automation systems, install smart switches and dimmers, run low-voltage cabling for security cameras and audio, and integrate with systems like Lutron, Control4, and Savant. If you are building or remodeling, now is the time to wire it right. EV charger installation is straightforward but must be done correctly. We install Level 2 chargers (240V, 40–60 amp) with a dedicated circuit from your panel. We handle the permit, the installation, and the final inspection. Most installations are completed in a single day. Safety and code compliance are non-negotiable. We pull permits for all electrical work, schedule city inspections, and ensure every installation meets current NEC code requirements. Older Los Angeles homes often have aluminum wiring, knob-and-tube wiring, or Federal Pacific panels that need immediate attention — we identify and address these issues as part of every project. Whether you need a single circuit added or a full electrical overhaul as part of a whole-home remodel, Forma Homes delivers licensed, permitted, inspected electrical work that powers your home safely and reliably.
