Globecast Electrical Services - Glendale's Qualified Electrical Services

Yes, we have specific experience addressing the safety concerns associated with older aluminum wiring, which is common in our area. Aluminum wiring can pose a fire hazard due to its tendency to oxidize and loosen at connection points over time. Our licensed electricians can perform a thorough inspection to assess the condition of your wiring system. We offer solutions such as installing specialized connectors (Al/Cu rated) at all outlets and switches, or recommending and performing a partial or complete rewiring with modern copper wire to ensure your home's electrical system is safe and up to current code standards for Glendale.

Installing an EV charger is a multi-step process we handle regularly. First, our electrician will evaluate your home's electrical panel to ensure it has the capacity for the new 240-volt circuit required. We then handle all aspects of the installation: running the proper gauge wiring from your panel to the desired location (typically a garage or driveway), installing a dedicated circuit breaker, mounting the charging unit, and making all final connections. We are certified to install a variety of chargers, including Tesla Wall Connectors. The entire process is performed to code, and we'll help you understand any potential incentives available for Glendale residents.

Absolutely. Electrical panel upgrades are a core service we provide. Many older homes in our community have 100-amp panels that are insufficient for modern electrical demands from multiple appliances, home offices, and EV chargers. If you're frequently tripping breakers, adding a major appliance, or your panel is outdated and potentially unsafe, an upgrade is likely needed. We can upgrade your service to a modern 200-amp panel, which provides ample capacity for your family's current and future needs. This work includes installing a new panel, meter socket (if required by your utility), and ensuring all connections meet the latest safety codes for Los Angeles County.
