Are you a licensed, insured industrial electrician in Los Angeles?
Yes. A+ Electric & Plumbing, a licensed electrician and plumber serving Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley, holds California CSLB license #942404 (C-10 and C-36 classifications). We are bonded and insured for industrial sites. You can verify our license anytime at the CSLB. Before we start, we confirm scope, price, and permits.
C-10 is California's electrical contractor license. We pull permits and meet NEC and OSHA rules. Our electricians train on lockout/tagout and arc-flash safety. That keeps your people and equipment safe.
What safety standards do you follow on industrial jobs?
We put safety first on every industrial job. We follow NEC and OSHA rules to the letter. Our crews use lockout/tagout to kill power before they touch a circuit. We wear arc-flash gear near live 480V equipment. That protects your people and ours.
Safety also protects your equipment. A clean shutdown avoids damage and injury. So we plan each step before we open a panel. We test for dead before we call it dead. Then we log the work for your records.
Can you work around our production schedule?
Yes. We schedule most industrial work at night, on weekends, or during planned shutdowns. That keeps your line running during the shift. After-hours work runs a 1.5-2x premium. That premium sits over the standard $95-$170 hourly range for the Los Angeles market. We give you the number before we start, so there are no surprises.
A good industrial electrician Los Angeles plants trust plans downtime, not reaction. So we walk your floor first. Then we map the circuits and stage parts before the window opens. The crew moves fast once the line is off.
What does three-phase power and equipment wiring involve?
Three-phase power sends steady, strong electricity to big motors and machines. Most LA plants run 208V or 480V three-phase service. We size and pull dedicated circuits, set disconnects, and land the wiring on your equipment. A single three-phase equipment circuit runs $500-$2,500. That is the typical range for the Los Angeles market.
New machine coming in? Our three-phase crews handle the wiring and hookups. We run it from the disconnect to the control panel. We also set motor starters and drives where you need them. A standard machine hookup runs $400-$1,800. That is the typical range for the Los Angeles market.
Adding several machines at once? You may need more service capacity. A service or panel upgrade runs $6,000-$25,000+ for the Los Angeles market. See our panel upgrade page for details.
Permits matter here. City of LA jobs get permits through LADBS. Burbank and Glendale run their own building departments.
How do you handle circuit tracing and grounding certification?
We trace circuits with meters and tracers. That finds the exact fault. Then we fix it and document the ground. Good grounding protects people and electronics from shock and surge. New equipment and many inspections need a grounding certification. We test, correct, and certify. Then we hand you the paperwork. Grounding certification is quoted per site.
Picture a Van Nuys production line at 2 a.m. A motor trips. The belt stops. Every idle minute costs money. Our licensed electrician arrives and traces the fault to a failed contactor. Then the line moves again before first shift.
That speed comes from method, not luck. First we isolate the circuit. Then we test each leg. Finally we verify the ground before power comes back. For a full facility check, see our electrical safety inspection page.
How does an industrial electrician in Los Angeles run your project?
We start with a free on-site assessment. Then we give you a written scope and an upfront price. Next we pull permits and line up any utility work. The crew then installs or repairs, usually during your off hours. Finally we test, check grounding, and sign off to code. You get clear paperwork at the end.

How is industrial electrical work different from commercial?
Commercial work covers offices, retail, and lighting at 120V and 208V. Industrial work runs heavy machines, motors, and controls, often at 480V. The stakes are higher too. A stopped line costs money every minute. We send licensed C-10 electricians with real plant experience to industrial jobs. Both trades still come from one local team.
Commercial vs industrial electrical work in Los Angeles
| Factor | Commercial electrical | Industrial electrical |
|---|---|---|
| Typical voltage | 120V and 208V | 208V and 480V three-phase |
| Main focus | Offices, retail, lighting, outlets | Machines, motors, controls, plant power |
| Common tasks | Panels, receptacles, HVAC circuits | Machine hookups, motor controls, three-phase feeds |
| Downtime cost | Moderate | High, a stopped line loses money by the minute |
| Who we send | Licensed C-10 electricians | Licensed C-10 electricians with plant experience |
Not sure which one fits your building? Many sites need both kinds of work. Either way, an industrial electrician Los Angeles factories trust handles the heavy, high-voltage side.
Facilities that cannot afford to lose power should also look at a backup generator for critical lines.
Do you offer plant electrical maintenance agreements?
Yes. We set up plant electrical maintenance on a schedule that fits your facility. Regular checks catch loose lugs, hot breakers, and worn contactors. We fix them before they stop a line. We inspect panels, tighten connections, test grounding, and log the results. Most plants book quarterly or twice a year. Standard visits bill at the $95-$170 hourly range for the Los Angeles market.
Scheduled upkeep costs far less than emergency downtime. An industrial electrician Los Angeles plants keep on a plan knows your panels and history. So the plan often pays for itself. It pays the first time it prevents a shutdown.
Which Los Angeles areas do you serve for industrial work?
We serve industrial sites across Los Angeles and the whole San Fernando Valley. That includes Van Nuys, Sherman Oaks, North Hollywood, Studio City, Burbank, and Glendale. Many Valley plants sit in 1950s and 1960s buildings. Those buildings often run older panels and feeders. We upgrade that gear to today's code.
Older Valley buildings often run tight on power. An industrial electrician Los Angeles plants trust checks the load first. A 1960s panel may max out when you add one new machine. So we size the upgrade to your real demand. City of LA sites permit through LADBS. Burbank and Glendale use their own building departments.
Our base sits in Tujunga, right at the edge of the Valley. So we reach Van Nuys, Sherman Oaks, and Burbank shops fast. Need work farther out in Encino, Tarzana, or Woodland Hills? We cover those too.

How fast can you get to a plant that is down?
We treat a stopped line as urgent. We move quickly, day or night. First we get key details by phone. Then we send a licensed electrician to trace the fault. After-hours work runs a 1.5-2x premium over the $95-$170 hourly range for the Los Angeles market. Call (818) 421-5290.
Can you connect a new machine to our existing power?

Do you pull permits for industrial electrical work?
Yes. We pull permits before we start and handle the inspection. City of LA jobs go through LADBS, while Burbank and Glendale run their own building departments. Permit timelines usually add 1-3 days. We build that into the schedule, so the paperwork never surprises you.
What is grounding certification and do we need it?
Grounding certification proves your system safely carries fault current to ground. Many new machines, inspections, and insurers require it. We test the ground, correct any gaps, and give you signed documentation. Grounding certification is quoted per site. The price depends on the size and layout of your facility. Call (818) 421-5290.
Can you work nights and weekends to avoid downtime?
Yes. We do most industrial jobs off-shift. So we schedule nights, weekends, and planned shutdowns. That keeps your line running during production. After-hours labor runs a 1.5-2x premium over the standard $95-$170 hourly range for the Los Angeles market. We give you the number in writing before we start.

We give a firm, upfront number after a free on-site assessment. Permits and inspection are part of the scope. Call (818) 421-5290.
Do you offer maintenance agreements for facilities?
Yes. We set up plant electrical maintenance on a quarterly or twice-a-year schedule. Regular visits catch loose connections, hot breakers, and worn parts before they cause downtime. Standard maintenance bills at the $95-$170 hourly range for the Los Angeles market. Scheduled checks cost far less than an emergency shutdown.
Can you fix code violations from a failed inspection?
Yes. We correct code violations and get your system signed off. First we review the inspection notes. Then we fix each item to current NEC and local code. After that, we handle the re-inspection with LADBS or your city department. Most corrections wrap in one or two visits, depending on scope.
