Company Overview
A Custom Electric is a Los Angeles-based electrical contractor founded in 1995 by an electrician with a deep background in professional lighting design. The company's origin story is rooted in client advocacy; after discovering a client was being overcharged for a lighting installation, the founder obtained his electrical contractor's license to ensure fair, transparent pricing. This commitment to honest service has grown A Custom Electric from a lighting design specialty into a full-service electrical business trusted by both residential and commercial clients across LA. With decades of combined experience, including early apprenticeships and part-time work dating back to 1979, the team provides reliable electrical solutions, from essential repairs and panel upgrades to custom installations like home theaters and EV charging stations, always prioritizing the safety and budget of the community.
Common Questions
As a Los Angeles homeowner, I'm worried about smart home wiring issues or underground cable damage from soil movement. Can you help?
Absolutely. Soil shifts and complex smart home systems are common challenges in our area. Our team is experienced in diagnosing and repairing underground cable faults caused by ground movement. For smart home setups, we ensure your low-voltage wiring and data cabling (like CAT6) are properly installed and integrated with your electrical system to prevent malfunctions. We can assess your property's specific risks and provide durable solutions that meet Los Angeles building codes.
My home needs a full electrical panel upgrade. What does that process involve with A Custom Electric?
A panel upgrade is a major project we handle regularly. We start with a free, detailed estimate to assess your current system and power needs. Our licensed electricians then manage the entire process, from obtaining any necessary permits to safely installing a new, higher-capacity panel that can handle modern demands like EV chargers and home appliances. We ensure minimal disruption and complete the work to the highest safety standards, providing you with reliable power for years to come.
Do you offer specialized lighting installation beyond just replacing a fixture?
Yes, our founder's background is in professional lighting design, which sets us apart. We don't just install fixtures; we help design and implement lighting systems for aesthetics, security, and energy efficiency. This includes recessed lighting, landscape lighting, track lighting, and custom solutions for art or home theaters. We combine practical electrical expertise with an eye for design to create lighting that enhances your Los Angeles home both functionally and visually.
