Herbert and Sons Electric | Qualified Electrical Services in Simi Valley, CA

Many homes in our area built during specific periods have aluminum wiring, which can pose a fire hazard due to its tendency to loosen at connections over time. Our licensed electricians can perform a thorough inspection to assess your system's condition. We offer solutions such as installing special connectors (Al/Cu rated) or recommending a partial or full rewiring with modern copper wire to ensure your home's safety and bring it up to current electrical codes.

An electrical panel is the heart of your home's electrical system. Our installation process begins with an assessment of your current and future power needs, especially important with the growing use of high-draw appliances like EV chargers. We then handle the entire project—from obtaining any necessary permits to safely disconnecting old equipment, installing a new, properly rated panel, and thoroughly testing all circuits. This upgrade ensures your home has the capacity and safety features for modern living.

Absolutely. When installing new light fixtures in older Simi Valley homes, we first ensure the existing wiring in the ceiling or wall box is safe and up to code. Our electricians check for proper grounding, adequate wire gauge, and secure connections. If we find any issues, such as brittle insulation or ungrounded circuits, we will address them before proceeding with the installation, ensuring your new fixture is both beautiful and operates safely for years to come.
