Gaston’s Electric | Emergency Electrical Contractor in Los Angeles, CA

An overheating meter is a serious safety concern common in our LA climate and older installations. Do not attempt to handle it yourself. Gaston's Electric can perform a thorough inspection to diagnose the cause, which is often due to outdated equipment, overloaded circuits, or connection issues. We will safely repair or replace the meter and panel as needed to restore safe, reliable service, ensuring full compliance with current Electrical Codes.

Yes, we provide free, transparent estimates for all services, including panel upgrades and repairs. We'll assess your current system, discuss your needs—whether it's adding capacity for an EV charger or fixing a faulty breaker—and provide a clear, fair price. Our goal is to ensure you understand the work and costs involved before we begin, with no hidden fees.

Given LA's occasional heavy rains and sprinkler systems, water intrusion is a real risk. For outdoor outlet and lighting installations, we use weatherproof, in-use covers and GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets as required by code. We properly seal conduit entries and ensure the installation is graded to shed water away, providing a durable and safe solution that stands up to local conditions.
