MR Electric: Experienced Electrical Services Serving South Pasadena 91030
2038 Empress Ave, South Pasadena, CA 91030
Local Business Description
Hi, I'm Martin Rodriguez, the owner and founder of M.R. Electric. My journey into electrical work started with a mechanical engineering degree. After moving to California, I found my true passion in the electrical trade, leading me to become a licensed, bonded, and insured electrical contractor in May 2006. I founded my independent company that same year, building on over two decades of hands-on experience, including years working under established local contractors. I genuinely enjoy solving electrical puzzles for my neighbors in South Pasadena, from routine repairs to complex installations. Whether it's upgrading an aging panel, installing an EV charger for your new vehicle, or troubleshooting a tricky short, I apply an engineer's problem-solving mindset to ensure every job is done right, safely, and to code.

Frequently Asked Questions
My home's electrical panel is from the 1970s. Why should I consider an upgrade with M.R. Electric?
Older panels often can't handle the demands of modern appliances and electronics, posing a safety risk. With over 20 years of experience, including extensive work on panel upgrades, we assess your current system and install a new panel that meets today's safety codes and provides the capacity you need for a reliable and efficient home electrical system in South Pasadena.
We've been having intermittent power issues, and our attic gets very hot. Could this be related to a local wiring problem?
Absolutely. In South Pasadena, heat in the attic can accelerate wear on older wiring insulation, leading to short circuits—a common issue here. With my background in troubleshooting and whole-house rewiring, I can safely inspect your attic wiring, identify any damaged or overheating circuits, and provide a lasting repair solution to restore safety and consistent power to your home.
I'm interested in an EV charger installation. What does the process involve with your company?
Installing an electric vehicle charging station starts with a site evaluation at your home. We check your electrical panel's capacity to ensure it can support the new circuit—a key step where our panel upgrade expertise is valuable. We then handle the permitting, professional installation of a dedicated circuit and the charging unit, and final inspection, ensuring a safe, code-compliant setup ready for your daily use.
