Lighting & Tenant Improvements

LED retrofits, recessed lighting, fixtures—plus build-outs for commercial tenants. New office suites in the port district require California Title 24 energy-efficient lighting design.

Why Local Knowledge Matters

Long Beach Building Code & Permits

Electrical permits are required to install or modify any electrical system. Long Beach enforces strict inspections, and we know every inspector's expectations. We also understand coastal zone rules and proximity requirements to oil/gas wells that affect some parts of the city.

Older homes & GFCI upgrades: Homes over 20 years old often lack GFCI protection at kitchen and bathroom outlets, which is required for safety and code compliance. We upgrade these systems to protect your family.

Coastal Environment & Outdoor Wiring

Salt air and moisture are tough on outdoor electrical systems. Properties near the water—especially in Belmont Shore and Marina neighborhoods—experience accelerated corrosion. We use marine-grade materials and proper spacing codes to prevent early failure.

Commercial Port & Multi-Tenant Work

Long Beach is a major port city. Warehouses, office parks, and industrial buildings need 3-phase power, backup systems, and continuous uptime. We carry OSHA safety training and know California Title 24 energy requirements inside and out.

Common Questions About Electrical Work in Long Beach

Do I need a permit for a simple outlet replacement?

Repair or replacement of electrical wall plug receptacles do not require a permit. However, any new circuits, panel work, or modifications do. We'll tell you upfront whether a permit is needed.

How long does Long Beach take to issue electrical permits?

Standard permits take 5–10 business days. We handle the paperwork and follow up with the Permit Center at City Hall to keep things moving. Express permits for minor work can be issued same-day online.

What is GFCI protection and why do I need it?

Outlets near water—kitchens and bathrooms—must be on GFCI circuits. These devices prevent electric shocks by shutting off when they detect a current imbalance. We install and test all required GFCI protection.

Can I do electrical work myself in Long Beach?

Homeowners can perform work on their own one- or two-family dwellings if they pull the permit and do the work themselves. However, for commercial properties or rental units, you must hire a licensed contractor. Jobs valued at $500 or more require a C-10 Electrical Contractor License.

What should I look for in a licensed electrician?

Confirm your electrician's C-10 license via the CSLB's Check a Contractor License portal. This ensures they're legit and capable of providing satisfactory services. Also verify Workers' Compensation Insurance and ask for local references.

How do I schedule a Long Beach electrical inspection?

After we complete work, we request rough and final inspections through the Permit Center. Customers are encouraged to schedule appointments in advance at longbeach.gov/permitcenterappointment. We coordinate all scheduling for you.
