Electrical work for Torrance homes
Torrance grew fast after World War II, and a large share of its homes were built in the 1950s and '60s. Those houses were wired for a very different list of appliances. Today the same home might run central air, an induction range, a spa and an electric car, often on the original 100 amp panel.
That's why the jobs we see most in Torrance start at the panel:
- Panel upgrades from 100 to 200 amps, and replacing fuse boxes and Zinsco or Federal Pacific panels.
- Rewiring for older homes with ungrounded two-prong outlets.
- EV chargers, with a panel check first so the house and the car can both run.
- Remodels, additions and ADUs, including sub-panels for garage conversions.
- Repairs and lighting: breakers that trip, dead outlets, recessed lighting and ceiling fans.

Permits in Torrance

Questions
Torrance questions
How fast can you get to me in Torrance?
We're based in Torrance, so we're usually close by. Call or text (310) 487-2137, and we'll tell you honestly when we can be there.
My Torrance home still has its original panel. Is that a problem?
Not always, but many original panels in 1950s and '60s Torrance homes are 100 amps or less, and some are brands like Zinsco or Federal Pacific that are known for breakers that may not trip. If you're adding an EV charger, AC or a remodel, have it checked. We'll tell you whether it needs an upgrade or not.
Do I need a permit for an EV charger in Torrance?
Yes. A Level 2 charger on a new circuit needs an electrical permit and an inspection from the City of Torrance.
