Our Services

EV Charger Installation

Burbank hosts over 225 public EV charging stations, yet home charging remains the most convenient option. We install Level 2 chargers hardwired to your home's electrical panel, assess your capacity, and handle all permits and inspections through Burbank Building & Safety.

Residents may qualify for rebates through Burbank Water and Power. Multi-family properties in Chandler Park, Magnolia Park, and downtown often need specialized solutions; we coordinate with HOAs and building management.

Electrical Panel Upgrades

Older homes in Burbank Hills and Magnolia Park often run 100–150 amp panels designed for simpler loads. Solar systems, heat pumps, or EV chargers demand more capacity. We upgrade to 200 amp service, replace outdated breakers, and ensure compliance with the 2025 California Building Code.

Panel work requires careful planning to minimize disruption. We schedule strategically and coordinate with city inspectors.

Solar Equipment Support

Burbank's instant solar permit system accelerates residential rooftop installations up to 38.4 kW. We coordinate with BWP Service Planning, submit interconnection agreements, and ensure your solar equipment integrates safely with your home's electrical backbone.

Larger commercial systems and battery storage require traditional plan review. We handle all steps from design through final performance meter installation.

LED Lighting Installation

Replace outdated fixtures with energy-efficient LEDs. We design layouts, install new wiring where needed, and ensure compatibility with existing switches and dimmers throughout your Burbank home or studio.

GFCI Outlet Installation

Bathrooms, kitchens, garages, and outdoor areas require ground-fault protection. We install code-compliant GFCIs and test all circuits to keep you and your family safe in Burbank's humid climate.

Hot Tub & Spa Hookups

Spas demand dedicated circuits and heavy-duty disconnects. We run proper conduit from your panel, install weatherproof hardware, and pass all Burbank Building & Safety inspections.

Electrical Troubleshooting

Flickering lights, tripped breakers, dead outlets, or strange humming sounds signal problems. We diagnose root causes—loose connections, overloads, or failing equipment—and repair safely to prevent fire risk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for an EV charger installation in Burbank?

Yes. Burbank Building & Safety requires electrical permits for all hardwired Level 2 chargers. We submit on your behalf and coordinate inspections. Residents may qualify for rebates from Burbank Water and Power after installation passes inspection.

What is Burbank's instant solar permit system?

Single-family residential solar installations up to 38.4 kW qualify for instant permits through Symbium's online platform. The system verifies code compliance automatically. Larger or commercial systems require traditional plan check. We guide you through either path.

Can I add solar and an EV charger to a home in Magnolia Park?

Yes, but you'll likely need a panel upgrade if your home has the original 100 amp service. We assess capacity, upgrade to 200 amps if needed, then install solar and charger circuits. Both require permits and inspections, but can proceed in parallel.

What if I live in a condo or multi-family building?

Contact your HOA and building management first. Burbank Water and Power offers commercial rebates for multi-family charger installations in common areas. Your building may coordinate a larger project, or you may pursue individual service through commercial programs.

How does solar interconnection work with Burbank Water and Power?

After city inspection approves your installation, we submit an interconnection agreement to BWP Service Planning. They install a performance meter and conduct safety tests. Once approved, BWP notifies you your system is live and net metering is active.

Do you handle hot tub and spa electrical hookups?

Yes. Spas require dedicated circuits, heavy-duty disconnects, and weatherproof installation. We run conduit from your panel, ensure proper sizing, and pass all Burbank Building & Safety inspections for safe, compliant operation.
