Something stopped working, and you want it fixed correctly the first time. Maybe a breaker tripped and will not stay reset. Maybe an outlet went dead, a light fixture started flickering, or you are adding a circuit for something new and the panel is already crowded. Coleman Electrical Service handles all of it for Beverly Hills homeowners, property managers, and businesses, from a single outlet that needs replacing to a full panel upgrade for a property being renovated and put on the market.
We are available every day from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM, and same-day appointments are often available when you call. Work is carried out by licensed electricians who know what California code requires and what the housing stock in this part of Los Angeles County actually looks like. Call (747) 368-2289 for a quote before anything is scheduled.
Electrical work in a flat or apartment follows a different path than a single-family home, and knowing where the boundaries are saves time on both ends. The main service panel in most multi-unit buildings is not inside the individual unit. It may be in a shared utility room, a basement corridor, or a locked electrical closet that the building manager controls. When a tenant calls about a tripped breaker, the first question is often whether they can reach the panel themselves or whether building management needs to be involved.
Inside the unit, we handle everything from the breaker or fuse protecting that circuit to the outlets, switches, and fixtures it feeds. Shared or communal supply infrastructure is the building owner's side of the line, and we will tell you clearly which side a given problem falls on when you call. If the issue is inside your unit, we can usually get someone out the same day. If it involves the building's shared systems, we can help you understand what to ask the property manager or landlord before they send their own contractor.
Beverly Hills has a range of property types, and the electrical work each one generates is genuinely different. A pre-war estate on original wiring is a different job from a mid-century modern that has been partially updated, which is a different job again from a newer commercial building with a full 400-amp service. We approach each one the same way: find out what is actually happening, explain what it takes to fix it, and confirm the price before any work begins. The full breakdown of what each service involves is on the service page.
The situation that leads to a repair call is usually something the homeowner has been watching for a few days. A breaker that trips when two appliances run at the same time. An outlet that stopped working after something was plugged in. A light that dims when the refrigerator kicks on. Each of those symptoms points somewhere specific, and tracing it to the source is the job. We do not patch over the visible problem and leave. We find out why it happened and fix that.
Beverly Hills has a significant share of older residential properties, and many of them are running on panels that were installed when the electrical demand of a household was a fraction of what it is today. The situation that leads to a panel upgrade call is usually a home that keeps tripping breakers, a property that needs more circuits than the current panel can support, or a real estate transaction where the inspector has flagged the existing equipment. We handle panel replacements, 200-amp service upgrades, and subpanel installation. A load calculation is part of every job.
Installation work comes out of a change in the property: a kitchen remodel, a garage conversion, a new appliance that needs its own dedicated circuit, or an EV charger going into the garage. The situation is usually clear. Something new is going in, and the existing wiring was not set up to support it. We assess what the panel can carry, run the circuit correctly, and make sure the work meets current California code. Code-compliant wiring on every job is not a phrase we use lightly. It is how the work gets done.
Older homes in Beverly Hills sometimes have equipment that is no longer in production. A panel from the mid-twentieth century may use breakers that are no longer manufactured, or a fixture may require a component that has to be sourced rather than pulled from a van. When that happens, we tell you on the call rather than after we arrive.
If a part needs to be ordered, we will let you know the timeline before anything is scheduled. In most cases a repair can be completed in a single visit, but where it cannot, we explain why and what the next step looks like. We show up, and we keep you posted until the job is done. That applies to jobs that run across more than one visit as much as it does to a straightforward same-day repair.
The price is confirmed on the call, before anything is booked. We ask what is going on, where the problem seems to be, and what the property looks like in general terms. From that conversation we give you a rate that covers the work as described. If the job turns out to be more involved than the call suggested, such as wiring that is harder to access than expected or a related problem found during the visit, we tell you before continuing and confirm the revised price. You are not presented with a different number after the fact.
What changes a quote is usually scope. A panel replacement is a different job if the service entrance also needs updating. A circuit run through a finished wall is a different job than the same run through an unfinished basement. Ask what is included when you call and you will get a straight answer. Honest recommendations on repairs, never an upsell, is how we approach every job, and that starts with the quote.
If the scope is still open, the electrical details page is the place to start.
We are available every day from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM, and same-day service is often available when you call during those hours. For situations that will not keep, such as a sparking outlet, a burning smell near a panel, or a complete loss of power in part of the building, let us know when you reach us and we will prioritize accordingly.
For businesses and rental properties that need to stay operational, we work around the schedule where we can. That might mean planning the work for a time when a particular area of the building is not in use, or breaking a larger job into stages so that only one part of the property is without power at a time. We confirm the approach before the visit so you know exactly what goes offline and when. Reach out and an electrician will follow up.
Low-voltage work covers a lot of ground: doorbell wiring, structured data cabling, speaker rough-in, and security system wiring. These circuits run at lower voltages than standard branch circuits, but they still need to be routed, terminated, and protected correctly. In older Beverly Hills properties, this wiring is sometimes missing entirely or has been run informally over the years. We install it properly and make sure it integrates with the rest of the electrical system without creating interference or access problems.
Larger properties with irrigation systems or well pumps need dedicated circuits sized for the motor load they carry. An irrigation pump that shares a circuit with other loads will trip breakers and wear out faster than one on its own dedicated run. We assess the load, run the circuit at the correct amperage, and install the disconnect and protection the equipment requires.
A kitchen remodel or a laundry room upgrade almost always means a new dedicated circuit. Electric ranges and wall ovens draw significant current, and a dryer needs its own 240-volt run. If the panel does not have room, that conversation happens before the appliance is delivered, not after. We run the circuit, install the correct outlet or connection point, and confirm panel capacity as part of the job.
A detached garage, a workshop, or an outbuilding that needs real electrical capacity gets a subpanel fed from the main service. This gives the space its own breaker positions, its own ground, and the ability to run multiple circuits without overloading a long run back to the house. We size the subpanel for what the space actually needs, not just what it needs today.
We serve Beverly Hills and the surrounding communities throughout Los Angeles County, including West Hollywood, Culver City, Ladera Heights, View Park-Windsor Hills, and Los Angeles. Whether the property is a single-family home, a multi-unit building, or a commercial space, we cover the area and same-day service is often available.
Fast diagnosis. Honest pricing. Clean work. Those apply whether the job is in Beverly Hills or in any of the communities nearby.
When wiring is buried in a finished ceiling, a concrete slab, or a wall cavity that cannot be opened, we assess whether the existing run can be tested and reused, whether a new route is available, or whether surface-mounted conduit is the right solution. We explain the options before any work begins.
An existing generator connection that was not installed to code, such as a direct connection without a proper transfer switch, creates a backfeed risk for utility workers and a safety hazard for the home. We assess the existing setup, explain what is wrong with it, and install a proper transfer switch or interlock so the generator can be used safely.
Pre-sale electrical inspections often surface issues that affect a transaction: outdated panels, missing GFCI protection, aluminum branch-circuit wiring, or circuits that were added without permits. Knowing what is there before the buyer's inspector arrives gives you time to address it on your own terms rather than under contract pressure. Call for an inspection and we will walk through what we find.
Pool pumps, underwater lighting, and similar equipment require dedicated circuits, GFCI protection, and bonding of all metal components near the water. The bonding requirement is separate from grounding and is specifically designed to prevent shock hazard in and around the water. We handle the circuit, the GFCI protection, and the bonding as a complete installation.
Larger properties often have subpanels feeding garages, guesthouses, or pool equipment, and outdoor wiring that has been extended or modified over the years. When those systems are not documented clearly, a diagnostic visit starts by tracing what is actually there. We assess the full picture before recommending what needs to be done.
We schedule commercial work at times that minimize disruption to operations. That might mean early morning, evening, or weekend scheduling depending on when the business is quietest. We discuss the timing when we scope the job and confirm the schedule before anything is booked.
A built-in wall oven and a separate cooktop each need their own dedicated 240-volt circuit, sized to the load rating of the specific appliance. They cannot share a circuit. We confirm the appliance specifications before running the circuits so the wiring is sized correctly for what is being installed.
We explain what we found and break it down into what poses an immediate safety risk, what is a code deficiency that should be corrected, and what is worth monitoring. That gives you a clear picture of what needs attention now and what can be scheduled. You decide how to proceed from there.
A shared service means the main meter and service entrance feed more than one panel. Work on one unit's panel does not affect the others, but any change to the service entrance or the metering arrangement involves the utility and may affect the other units. We assess the setup before recommending any work that touches the shared portion.
Permit requirements in Beverly Hills depend on the type and scope of the work, and they can differ from county requirements for properties in unincorporated areas nearby. We confirm what applies to your address and your specific job before scheduling, so nothing gets missed on that side of the process.
Work on the meter base or the service entrance involves the utility company as well as the electrician. We handle the electrical side, including the service entrance wiring and the panel connections, and we coordinate with the utility on the parts that require their involvement. We explain how that process works when we scope the job.
Coleman Electrical Service is available every day from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM. We test every circuit. We label every breaker. We leave it safe.
A flickering light or a single dead outlet is not too small to call about. Those symptoms are how bigger problems announce themselves, and catching them early is easier and less expensive than waiting. Call (747) 368-2289 for a quote, and we will take it from there.

Each row covers what the service includes, who it fits best, and a practical note to help you figure out where to start. Call for a quote and we will walk you through the details before anything is scheduled.
| Service Type | Scope of Work | Best For | Things to Know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hot-Tub Circuits | 240-volt dedicated circuit, GFCI disconnect installation, outdoor wiring and conduit, bonding and grounding | Homeowners installing a spa or hot tub and needing the electrical side handled correctly | Hot tub wiring involves specific code requirements for GFCI protection and bonding. Getting it right the first time avoids problems at inspection. |
| Breaker & Fuse Repair | failing breaker replacement, fuse panel evaluation, overcurrent protection checks, panel interior inspection | Homeowners with a breaker that trips repeatedly or will not reset | A breaker that keeps tripping is doing its job, but the underlying cause still needs to be found and corrected. |
| Standby Battery for Outages | battery backup wiring, transfer switch installation, critical load panel setup, grid-tie and off-grid configurations | Homeowners who want power for essential circuits when the grid goes down | Sizing the battery correctly starts with knowing which circuits you need to keep running. We work through that on the call before anything is scheduled. |
| Electrical Repairs & Troubleshooting | tracing faults to the source, testing outlets and circuits, arcing and loose connection repair, GFCI and AFCI protection | Any home or business with a symptom that needs a diagnosis | A tripping breaker or dead outlet can point to something deeper. We identify the real problem before recommending a fix. |
| Outlet & Switch Installation | GFCI outlet installation, switch replacement and upgrade, dedicated outlet runs, exterior and weatherproof outlets | Homeowners adding outlets or replacing devices that have stopped working | GFCI protection is required by California code in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor locations. We install to current code on every job. |
| Older-Home Rewiring | knob-and-tube replacement, aluminum branch-circuit remediation, partial and whole-home rewires, wiring for additions and remodels | Owners of older Beverly Hills properties with wiring that has been flagged or is showing symptoms | The scope of a rewire depends on what is actually in the walls. We assess the existing wiring before recommending a full or partial approach. |
| Whole-Home Surge Protection | panel-mounted surge protector installation, grounding and bonding verification, protection for appliances and electronics, EV charger circuit protection | Any home with sensitive electronics, an EV charger, or solar equipment worth protecting | A surge protector at the panel intercepts voltage spikes before they reach your devices. Grounding and bonding are checked as part of the installation. |
| Wiring & Circuit Installation | new circuit runs, renovation and addition wiring, garage and shed wiring, code-compliant rough-in work | Additions, conversions, and any space being built out or rewired | New wiring in California is inspected to code. We handle the load calculation and panel capacity check as part of the project. |
| Electrical Panel & Service UpgradesMost Popular | 200-amp service upgrades, panel replacement, subpanel installation, load calculations and grounding | Older homes, properties under renovation, or any panel flagged during an inspection | Many Beverly Hills homes were built with 100-amp service. A load calculation before the upgrade confirms the new panel can carry what you are adding. |
| Electrical Safety Inspections | panel and wiring condition review, GFCI and AFCI check, grounding and bonding evaluation, pre-sale and rental unit inspections | Landlords, buyers, sellers, and anyone with an older property | A written summary of findings comes with every inspection so you know exactly what was found and what, if anything, needs attention. |
| Dedicated Appliance Circuits | dryer and range circuits, hot tub and spa wiring, workshop and garage circuits, disconnect and breaker installation | Any high-draw appliance that needs its own breaker and wire run | Running a dedicated circuit means the appliance does not compete with other loads on the same breaker, which reduces nuisance tripping and wear. |
| Lighting Installation | recessed and LED lighting, kitchen and bathroom lighting, exterior and security lighting, landscape lighting circuits | Remodels, new construction, or any space where the existing lighting is not working for the room | Exterior and landscape lighting circuits need proper weatherproofing and grounding. We handle the circuit run, not just the fixture. |
| Solar & Battery Backup | transfer switch installation, battery backup wiring, panel capacity and interconnection work, critical load circuit setup | Homeowners adding solar or battery storage, especially ahead of wildfire season outages | Public-safety power shutoffs across Los Angeles County have made battery backup a practical choice. We handle the electrical side so the system actually works when the grid goes down. |
| Ceiling Fan Installation | fan and fixture swap, new circuit and wiring runs, box and brace installation, switch and remote wiring | Homeowners replacing an old fan or adding one where no wiring exists | If there is no existing wiring at the ceiling location, we run the circuit from the panel. No guesswork on whether the box can hold the weight. |
| EV Charger Installation | Level 2 charger installation, dedicated 240-volt circuit, panel capacity check, garage and driveway placement | Electric vehicle owners who need faster overnight charging than a standard outlet provides | California has some of the highest EV adoption in the country. If the panel needs room for the new circuit, we handle that as part of the same visit. |
