Burbank Electrician and Plumber, One Licensed Team

What does a Burbank electrician and plumber handle here?

A Burbank electrician handles your electrical system, and at A+ Electric & Plumbing the same licensed crew handles your plumbing too. We wire homes, upgrade panels, add circuits, install EV chargers, fix water heaters, clear drains, and repair leaks. One call covers both trades, so you never juggle two contractors.

• Panel upgrades and swaps, including old Zinsco and Federal Pacific panels
• Rewiring, new circuits, outlets, switches, and recessed lighting
• EV charger installs for garages and driveways
• Water heater repair and replacement, tank and tankless
• Drain cleaning, leak repair, and repiping for old copper and galvanized lines
• Gas line work for ranges, dryers, and heaters

Because we hold both trade classifications, a job like a tankless water heater is one visit, not two. A plumber in Burbank handles the water and gas, and an electrician sets the circuit. We send one crew that does both, on one schedule, with one invoice.

We also take emergency calls, day or night. A dead outlet, a breaker that keeps tripping, a burst pipe, or no hot water gets a real person on the phone at any hour. A licensed tech, not a call center, picks up, and we tell you what to do before we even arrive.

What do Burbank's older bungalows need most?

Burbank's older bungalows need panel upgrades most, because so many still run on outdated Zinsco or Federal Pacific panels. Magnolia Park and the flats fill with 1920s to 1940s homes, and those brands are known to fail and even skip breakers that should trip.

These panels were normal when the neighborhoods went up. Today insurers flag them, and inspectors want them gone. A panel upgrade to a modern 200-amp service fixes the safety risk and gives you room for an EV charger, central AC, or a remodel.

Older homes also hide cloth-wrapped or ungrounded wiring behind the walls. Two-prong outlets are the giveaway. When we open a wall, we check what is back there and quote a rewiring plan if the wiring is unsafe.

On the water side, these same homes often run original galvanized steel pipe. It rusts from the inside, so pressure drops and the water can turn brown. A Burbank plumber on our team can repipe with copper or PEX and end the problem for good.

Do you pull permits with the Burbank building department?

Yes, we pull permits with the Burbank Community Development Department for work that needs one, like panel upgrades, rewiring, EV chargers, water heaters, and gas lines. Burbank runs its own building department, separate from the City of Los Angeles, so the forms and the process are local.

Permits protect you. They mean a city inspector checks the work against California code, and the record follows your home when you sell. We handle the paperwork, schedule the inspection, and meet the inspector on site.

You can confirm the rules at the Burbank Community Development Department. You can also verify our license at the CSLB, where our number, CSLB #942404, is on file.

Timing is simple for most jobs. For a straightforward panel upgrade or an EV charger, we usually pull the permit, do the work, and book the inspection within the same week. A Burbank electrician on our crew meets the city inspector on site, so you do not take time off to wait around for them.

How does Burbank Water and Power affect my project?

Burbank Water and Power is the city's own utility, so your meter, your service drop, and any power shutoff for a panel upgrade go through them, not LADWP. That is a small but real difference from most of Los Angeles.

For a panel or service upgrade, the utility usually has to disconnect and reconnect power at the meter. We coordinate that timing with Burbank Water and Power, so your home sits without power for the shortest window possible, often part of a single day.

The same utility runs the water system here. If your project touches the water meter or the main shutoff, we work within their rules. A plumber in Burbank on our crew checks the meter and the shutoff before starting a slab leak repair or a repipe.

Plan ahead for the shutoff. Burbank Water and Power schedules the disconnect and reconnect, so we book your panel upgrade around their calendar. We tell you the likely window up front, and we bring everything needed to finish the job in one visit once the power is off.

Which neighborhoods do you serve locally?

Locally, we serve every Burbank neighborhood, from Magnolia Park and the Hillside District to Downtown Burbank, the Media District, Chandler Park, and nearby Toluca Lake. Each part of the city brings its own electrical and plumbing quirks.

• Magnolia Park: 1920s to 1940s bungalows, so panel swaps and rewiring lead the list
• Hillside District: larger hillside homes with longer wire runs and sub-panels
• Media District: studio-adjacent commercial work near Warner Bros and Disney
• Downtown Burbank: condos and mixed-use units with tighter access
• Toluca Lake: upscale, larger homes and remodels that need both trades
• Chandler Park: family homes along the bike path, everyday repairs and upgrades

We are based in Sunland-Tujunga, not Burbank, so we will never fake a local address. Burbank sits right on the edge of our service area, so response stays quick, and there is no separate trip charge for the city.

No matter the neighborhood, the standard is the same: licensed, to California code, and guaranteed. Whether you need a Burbank electrician for a hillside sub-panel, or a plumber in Burbank for a Magnolia Park repipe, one team covers it, and you get the price in writing before we start.

How much does electrical and plumbing work cost here?

Most electrical and plumbing work here runs on published Los Angeles ranges, and you approve the exact price before we start. A service call is $100-$250, and we credit that fee toward the repair. Small fixes land near the low end, while a panel upgrade or a repipe costs more.

Typical Los Angeles ranges for common electrical and plumbing work

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.

What moves the price? The size of the panel, how many circuits, the length of the pipe run, and whether we open walls or a slab. A quick drain cleaning sits at the low end. A repipe or slab leak repair takes more time, so it costs more.

For plumbing, the same honesty applies. A water heater swap, a repipe, or a slab leak repair each gets a written price before we start. We size the job on site, quote it, and the invoice matches that number, with no add-ons after the fact.

Either way, the estimate is free, and the invoice matches the number we quote. A Burbank electrician on our team writes the price down before any work begins.

Why hire A+ Electric & Plumbing in your neighborhood?

A+ Electric & Plumbing, a licensed electrician and plumber serving Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley, brings both trades to your neighborhood under one license. That means one call, one schedule, one invoice, and no finger-pointing between an electrician and a plumber.

The dual license matters more than it sounds. A remodel, a new AC line, or a tankless heater needs both power and water work. Instead of hiring two companies and hoping they line up, you get one crew that does both, to California code.

We are licensed under CSLB #942404. A real person answers the phone at any hour, and a licensed tech, not a call center, calls you back. You know the price before we start, and the work carries a written workmanship guarantee.
