Electrician and Plumber in Los Angeles: One Licensed Team

Why hire one company as your electrician and plumber in Los Angeles?

One licensed company for both trades means one call, one schedule, and one invoice. You skip the finger-pointing between contractors when a job crosses trades, and most jobs do. A water heater swap often needs a new circuit. A kitchen remodel needs both rough plumbing and new wiring. We run both crews, so nothing falls through the gap between them.

Think about the jobs Valley homeowners actually book. A tankless water heater needs gas, water, and venting, plus power for its controls. An EV charger needs a 240-volt circuit, and in many 1950s Sherman Oaks houses, a bigger panel first. Hire two companies for that and you pay two service call fees, wait on two schedules, and referee the handoff yourself.

A+ Electric & Plumbing, a licensed electrician and plumber serving Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley, puts both trades on one truck instead. One visit covers the circuit and the tank, the wiring and the drain. As a result, you get one schedule, one invoice, and one company responsible for the finished job.

• Kitchen and bath remodels: new circuits and GFCI outlets go in alongside gas, supply, and drain lines, under one plan
• Water heater swaps: tank, venting, and the dedicated circuit or disconnect, all to code in one visit
• EV charger installs: we check panel capacity before you buy the charger, then run the 240-volt circuit
• Laundry rooms: a 30-amp dryer circuit next to new supply valves and a proper standpipe drain

What electrical services does A+ Electric & Plumbing offer?

We handle residential and commercial electrical work across Los Angeles: panel upgrades, whole-house rewiring, lighting, EV charger circuits, troubleshooting, and code corrections. Licensed electricians run every job, and hourly work runs $58-$115 per hour (typical LA range). You get the exact price before we start, and estimates are free.

Start with the full electrical services page for the complete list. The short version: we upgrade crowded 100-amp panels to 200-amp service, replace the Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels common in 60s and 70s Valley homes. And take on whole-house rewiring where knob-and-tube or cloth-covered wire still hides in pre-1950 walls.

Also on the list: recessed lighting and LED retrofits, dedicated appliance circuits, EV charger wiring, and troubleshooting for dead outlets or breakers that trip weekly. We serve houses and apartment buildings as well as offices, restaurants, and light industrial spaces, and we pull City of LA permits before we open a wall.

What plumbing services does A+ Electric & Plumbing offer?

We cover the full plumbing side too: water heaters, tankless systems, repiping, drain cleaning, sewer camera inspections, garbage disposals, and leak repairs across Los Angeles and the Valley. A standard water heater installed runs $1,500-$3,500 (typical LA range). As with electrical, the estimate is free and you approve the exact price before work begins.

Hot water first, because that is the most common call. We install 40- and 50-gallon tank water heaters, often the same day, and tankless units when your household keeps outrunning the tank. Better yet, since we are also electricians, any new circuit or disconnect goes in on the same visit.

Drains and pipes round out the list. We clear slow drains and main line clogs, run a camera down your sewer line so you see the problem before you pay to fix it. And repipe the galvanized supply lines still common in pre-1960 Valley houses. Smaller jobs count too, from garbage disposal swaps to running toilets and dripping faucets.

Finally, browse by property type if that is easier: plumbing for houses and condos or plumbing for restaurants and office buildings. The complete plumbing overview collects everything in one place.

How much do electrical and plumbing services cost in Los Angeles?

Most service calls run $100-$250, and we credit that fee when you approve the repair. Electrician hourly work runs $58-$115 per hour. Bigger jobs vary: a 200-amp panel upgrade runs $2,500-$5,500, while a water heater installed runs $1,500-$3,500. All figures are typical Los Angeles ranges, and your written quote is free and exact.

Common jobs and typical ranges for the Los Angeles market

These are typical Los Angeles ranges for orientation, not a quote. Every job is priced by its own conditions, so your exact number comes from a free on-site look. Get a free estimate in minutes, or call (818) 421-5290.

Why ranges instead of one number? Because a clog 10 feet down a kitchen line costs less to clear than roots 60 feet into a main sewer. And a straightforward panel swap costs less than one needing new service conductors. Once we see the job, the range collapses to one exact figure. After that, the figure is what you pay.

How does the process work, from first call to finished job?

You call, we listen, we quote, we fix. First you describe the problem to a real person at (818) 421-5290, not a call center script. Then a licensed tech diagnoses on site and hands you an exact written price. Work starts only after you approve it, and we guarantee the result in writing.

1. Call and describe the jobabout 5 minutes

   Call (818) 421-5290 or tap Get a Free Estimate and tell us what is happening: a breaker that trips, a cold shower, a remodel plan. We ask a few questions and book a window, often same day in the Valley.

2. Approve the exact price15-30 minutes on site

   The tech inspects, explains your options in plain English, and writes the exact total: parts, labor, and any permit. We credit the $100-$250 service call fee the moment you say yes.

3. Licensed tech does the worksame day for most repairs

   The same licensed electrician or plumber completes the job to code and pulls the permit when the city requires one. There is no handoff to a second contractor, so nothing gets lost between trades.

4. Walk through and guaranteeabout 10 minutes

   You inspect the finished work with the tech, and we leave the area as clean as we found it. Your invoice matches the quote, and the work carries our written guarantee.

Is there a 24 hour electrician and plumber near me in Los Angeles?

Yes. A+ Electric & Plumbing answers (818) 421-5290 around the clock, 365 days a year, for both trades. A burst pipe or a dead panel does not wait for business hours, so we do not either. After-hours work adds $100-$300 or bills at 1.5-2x the standard rate (typical LA range). And we tell you that number before anyone drives out.

Emergencies rarely respect trade lines either. A slab leak can soak a junction box. And a failing water heater can trip breakers and hide the real fault. So you want a 24 hour electrician and plumber Los Angeles residents can reach with one number, because one tech who reads both systems finds the fault faster.

While we head your way, do two things. For water, close the main shutoff, usually near a front hose bib or at the meter box by the curb. For electrical, flip the main breaker off if the panel is cool and dry. And leave a hot, buzzing, or burning-smell panel alone.

Which Los Angeles neighborhoods does A+ Electric & Plumbing serve?

We provide electrical and plumbing services across the San Fernando Valley and take jobs throughout greater Los Angeles. Core neighborhoods include Van Nuys, Sherman Oaks, Studio City, North Hollywood, Encino, Tarzana, Woodland Hills, and Northridge, plus Burbank and Glendale. Most Valley addresses can get a same day appointment when you call in the morning. For the rest of LA, we schedule by job size.

Knowing the housing stock matters more than listing zip codes. Postwar tracts in Van Nuys, North Hollywood, and Northridge still run 100-amp panels. And many hold Federal Pacific or Zinsco breakers with well-documented reliability problems. Meanwhile, pre-1960 houses in Sherman Oaks and Studio City often mix original galvanized pipe with patchwork copper. And slab foundations across the flat Valley hide supply leaks under concrete until a floor turns warm.

Permits differ by city too. City of LA addresses, which include most Valley neighborhoods, run through LADBS. Meanwhile, Burbank and Glendale operate their own building departments with their own inspectors. We pull the correct permit either way and meet the inspector ourselves, so passing inspection is our problem, not yours.

Why do homeowners choose A+ Electric & Plumbing?

Four reasons come up again and again: the exact price before we start, one licensed team for both trades, real availability including nights and weekends. And a written guarantee on the work. None of that is flashy. But when a contractor gives you a number, keeps it, and stands behind the job, you call the same number next time.

Licensing is checkable, not a slogan. California issues separate classifications for electrical (C-10) and plumbing (C-36) work. And you can verify any contractor free at the Contractors State License Board. We hold both. That makes us a licensed electrical and plumbing company Los Angeles homeowners can vet twice before hiring once.

The guarantee closes the loop. If something we installed or repaired is not right, we return and make it right at no charge. We built this company to be the electrician and plumber Los Angeles landlords and homeowners keep saved in their phones. And that only happens when the last job went well and the invoice matched the quote.
