Greater Los Angeles · Electrical Panel Upgrades & Rewiring
Electrician in Sylmar, CA
At the LA gateway over the pass, Sylmar's hillside homes rely on us for rewiring, generators, and seismic-safe electrical upgrades.
Your owner-operated electrician in Sylmar
Genius Electric Corp is an owner-operated, 24-hour electrician serving Sylmar, the northernmost neighborhood of Los Angeles, where the San Fernando Valley climbs into the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains. Locals call it the top of L.A. for good reason: the hillside lots, horse properties, and older post-war and ranch-style homes up here sit on ground that has felt more than its share of earthquakes, and the dry heat, Santa Ana winds, and aging wiring all take a toll on panels and circuits. When you call, you reach the owner directly — he answers, shows up on time, walks you through the options in plain language, and does the work with his own hands.
For Sylmar homes and businesses we upgrade panels and service to 200 and 400 amps, rewire older and hillside houses, replace failing meter-mains and subpanels, install generators and transfer switches for outage protection, wire Level 2 EV chargers on dedicated 240-volt circuits, add whole-home surge protection, and trace electrical faults back to the root cause. We work the equestrian lots up in Kagel Canyon and the ranch-style and tract homes near Roxford Street and the Cascades. Because Sylmar sits inside the City of Los Angeles, its power comes from the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP), not Southern California Edison — so the SCE rebates you may have read about don't apply here. Homeowners can instead look into LADWP's own Charge Up L.A.! EV-charger rebate, and we handle the panel upgrade and 240-volt circuit either way. Every job is pulled on a proper permit, wired to LADWP and City of L.A. code, and backed by someone you can actually reach any hour of the day.

FAQ
Electrician in Sylmar — FAQ

Do you serve Sylmar, CA?

Do you give free estimates in Sylmar?
Yes. We'll look at the work, explain your options in plain English, and give you a fair, upfront price before anything begins — no pressure and no surprises.
Who is my electric utility in Sylmar, and are there EV charger rebates?
Sylmar is inside the City of Los Angeles, so your power comes from the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP), not Southern California Edison — which means SCE's Charge Ready programs don't apply here. LADWP runs its own residential EV charger rebate, Charge Up L.A.!, that LADWP customers can look into; it generally requires a licensed C-10 contractor and a pulled permit, which is exactly how we install every Level 2 charger. We handle the panel upgrade and dedicated 240-volt circuit regardless of which rebate you pursue — check ladwp.com for the current amounts and eligibility.
Can you handle older hillside and horse-property homes in Sylmar?
Yes. A lot of Sylmar's housing is older post-war, mid-century, and ranch-style homes on hillside or equestrian lots, and many still have original wiring, ungrounded outlets, or undersized panels. We rewire, ground, and safely upgrade these, and we're set up for the detached garages, barns, well pumps, and long service runs that come with rural and foothill properties around Kagel Canyon and the northern foothills.
Do I need a 200-amp panel upgrade to add an EV charger or new circuits?
Often, yes. Many older Sylmar homes still run 100-amp service that's already near capacity, so adding a Level 2 EV charger, AC, or a new subpanel can push it over the edge. We evaluate your existing panel and load, upgrade to 200 or 400 amps when it's actually needed, and install the dedicated circuits — all permitted and inspected. If your panel has room to spare, we'll tell you that instead of selling you an upgrade you don't need.
Are you really available 24 hours a day in Sylmar?
Yes. We're owner-operated and answer the phone around the clock at (661) 744-6232. If you lose power to part of the house, smell something burning at the panel, or have a breaker that won't reset, call any time — electrical problems don't keep business hours, and neither do we. Sylmar and the north San Fernando Valley are part of our core service area.
