Electrical Contractor Burbank CA | Call Universal Electrician

You're right to be proactive. Aluminum wiring, common in many Burbank homes built in the 60s and 70s, can pose a serious fire risk due to connection failures. We specialize in addressing this local issue. Our approach typically involves installing COPALUM crimp connectors or AlumiConn lugs at every connection point—a permanent, code-compliant repair recommended by safety experts. We can also perform a thorough inspection of your attic and panel wiring to identify any immediate hazards. Our goal is to make your electrical system safe and reliable for the long term.

An electrical panel upgrade is often needed when adding major appliances, EV chargers, or home automation systems, or if you have an older fuse box or a panel that's frequently tripping. For Burbank residents, it's also a key step in mitigating risks from outdated wiring. Our process includes a full assessment of your home's current and future power needs, removing the old panel, and installing a new, higher-capacity unit with modern safety breakers. With our combined 29 years of experience, we ensure the installation is seamless, meets all current codes, and provides a safe foundation for your home's electrical system.

Absolutely. Our team's background in both traditional electrical work and home automation allows us to bridge old and new systems effectively. We start by evaluating your current wiring to ensure it can safely support new smart switches, dimmers, or automated components. We then handle the precise installation and configuration, whether it's a smart doorbell, lighting control, or a full home system. We focus on creating a reliable, user-friendly setup that enhances your home's functionality without compromising on the safety and integrity of your core electrical infrastructure.
