Local Electrical Company in Lakewood, CA 90715 - OMZ Electric

Frequent tripping is a common sign that your electrical panel is struggling with modern loads, especially in older Lakewood homes. With today's appliances and electronics, many panels installed 20+ years ago are simply overloaded. OMZ Electric can perform a thorough inspection to assess your panel's capacity and overall health. If an upgrade is recommended, we handle the entire process, from permitting to installation, ensuring your home's electrical system is safe and has ample power for your family's needs.

Installing an EV charger is a popular service we provide. The process starts with an inspection of your home's electrical panel to ensure it can handle the additional load safely. For many homes, this is straightforward, but some may require a panel upgrade. We then run the proper wiring from your panel to your chosen location (like a garage), install a dedicated circuit and outlet or hardwired unit, and ensure everything is up to current code. As a local electrician, we're familiar with Lakewood's requirements and can help you navigate any permits needed.

Yes, water intrusion into outdoor outlets is a serious safety hazard that can lead to short circuits, corrosion, and shock risk—a known issue in our coastal Southern California climate. OMZ Electric addresses this by inspecting the affected outlets and their weatherproof covers (WR covers). We often find that old, cracked, or improperly installed covers are the culprit. We repair or replace the outlet with a new, GFCI-protected model and install a proper, sealed weatherproof cover to keep Lakewood's moisture out and your family safe.
