About A+ Electric & Plumbing: One Licensed Team in Los Angeles

Why does one company handle both electrical and plumbing?

A+ Electric & Plumbing exists because most home projects touch both trades, yet most homeowners still have to hire two contractors. A water heater swap needs a plumber for the gas and water lines, plus an electrician for the circuit. So we built one licensed team that does both: one call, one schedule, one invoice, and nobody blaming the other guy.

A+ Electric & Plumbing, a licensed electrician and plumber serving Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley, was built on that idea. When a remodel needs new wiring and new pipes, you should not have to manage two contractors, two schedules, and two invoices. Instead, one crew does the whole job, and one company stands behind it, in writing.

That idea runs through our electrical services and our plumbing services alike. So when the trades meet, say on a water heater circuit, you still make one call.

What does A+ Electric & Plumbing promise on every job?

We make four promises on every job. First, you get your price before we start, in writing, with no surprises on the invoice. Second, a live person answers our phone 24/7, not a machine. Third, a licensed technician does the work, never an unsupervised helper. Finally, we put our guarantee in writing and honor it.

• Price before work: you approve an exact written number, and the invoice matches it.
• A live person 24/7: a real dispatcher answers (818) 421-5290, even at 3 a.m.
• Licensed techs only: a licensed electrician or plumber does the work, never an unsupervised helper.
• Guarantee in writing: every job leaves behind a written guarantee, not a handshake.

How does a typical job with us work?

Every job follows the same 4 steps: you call, we quote, we do the work, and we walk you through it before you pay. We fix the price before any work starts, so the invoice matches the quote. Better yet, one crew can handle the electrical and plumbing sides of the same project on one visit.

1. You call, we listenabout 5 minutes

   A live dispatcher picks up, asks what is going on, and books a visit that fits your day. For emergencies, we send the on-call tech instead.

2. We diagnose and quoteabout 30-60 minutes

   A licensed tech inspects the problem, explains it in plain English, and hands you an exact price in writing. The quote is free, and you can say no.

3. You approve, we do the workoften the same day

   Nothing starts before your yes. Then we work to code, protect your floors, and pull permits when the job needs them.

4. We test it with you watchingabout 15 minutes

   Before you pay, we show you the finished work, test it together, and leave the written guarantee with your invoice.

Where does A+ Electric & Plumbing work?

We work across Los Angeles from our San Fernando Valley base. So Van Nuys, Sherman Oaks, Studio City, and North Hollywood are usually a short drive. We also serve Burbank and Glendale, plus Encino, Tarzana, Woodland Hills, and Northridge. Because most of our jobs are in homes built between 1950 and 1979, we know their panels, galvanized pipes, and hard water well.

In practice, that means Zinsco and Federal Pacific panels in 60s and 70s Valley homes, which can fail without ever tripping. We replace those often; see what a panel replacement involves. It also means pre-1960 galvanized pipe that rusts shut from the inside, the main reason we do whole-house repiping in copper or PEX.

Permits also differ by address. In the City of Los Angeles, we pull electrical and plumbing permits through LADBS, the Department of Building and Safety. However, Burbank and Glendale run their own building departments, so we file with the right office for your street.

Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?

Yes. California requires a C-10 contractor license for electrical work and a C-36 license for plumbing. And we hold both, plus bonding and insurance. Our license number appears in the footer of every page on this site. You can verify any California contractor license for free at the Contractors State License Board before you hire anyone, including us.

Here is what those words mean in plain terms. Licensed means the state tested our trade knowledge and tracks our record. Bonded means a bond can pay you if we fail to finish. And insured means our policy covers an accident on your property, not your homeowner's insurance.

For a licensed, bonded, insured contractor in Los Angeles, that paperwork is the floor, not a selling point. Even so, plenty of unlicensed operators quote electrical and plumbing work in LA, so check anyone you hire, including us.

Who shows up at your door?

A licensed electrician or plumber in a marked truck, backed by one dispatcher who answers our phone 24/7. We do not send unlicensed subcontractors, and we do not sell your job to a lead broker. The person who quotes your work is the person responsible for it, so questions get answers on the spot.

The team stays small on purpose: licensed electricians, licensed plumbers, and one dispatcher who knows every open job. Because both trades share one office and one schedule board, the plumber knows what the electrician did at your house, and the other way around.

Ready when you are. Call (818) 421-5290 any hour, or Get a Free Estimate and we will quote your job in writing before any work starts.
