Electrician & plumber in Encino
Encino Electrician and Plumber, One Licensed Team
An Encino electrician from A+ Electric & Plumbing wires panels, EV chargers, and pool equipment, then handles the plumbing side too, from water heaters to repiping. We serve Encino Hills, the estates south of Ventura, and the flats to the north with one licensed team for both trades. Sunland-Tujunga based, we cross the valley to you the same week.

What electrical and plumbing work do you do in Encino?
An Encino electrician and plumber from A+ Electric & Plumbing covers the whole house, from the main panel to the water heater. We wire, repair, and install on the electrical side. We repipe, unclog, and replace on the plumbing side. One licensed team handles both, so you make one call instead of two.
- Panel upgrades to 200-amp or 400-amp service for big electrical loads
- EV charger circuits, subpanels, and long runs to guest houses
- Pool and spa wiring, landscape lighting, and whole-house rewiring
- Water heater installs, tankless conversions, and multi-unit estates
- Repiping, slab leak repair, drain cleaning, and gas line work
- Irrigation backflow and outdoor hose bibs across large lots
Here is the dual-trade payoff. A tankless water heater needs a plumber for the gas and water, and an electrician for the circuit. As your Los Angeles electrician and plumber, we send one team for both. One schedule, one invoice, no finger-pointing.
Whether you need an Encino plumber for a fast leak or a full estate rewire, we quote the exact price before we start. The service call is credited to the work.
What do Encino's estate homes need most from an electrician?
Encino's estate homes need bigger electrical service than a standard tract house. Many properties south of Ventura Boulevard sit on large lots with pools, spas, guest houses, and long wiring runs. That load pushes past an old 100-amp panel fast. An Encino electrician upgrades these to 200-amp or 400-amp service.
The plumbing runs big too. A large home may carry two or three water heaters, a recirculation loop, and irrigation with its own backflow valve. When one unit fails, an Encino plumber can replace just that heater with a quick water heater install and keep the rest of the house running.
Some flats to the north were built decades ago. Many still run original wiring or galvanized pipe. That means repiping or a panel upgrade before you add modern loads like a second AC or a hot tub.
Add an EV charger or two, and the math changes again. We size the service for what you actually draw, then pull the right permit so the work holds up.
Do you pull permits with LADBS here?
Yes, we pull permits with LADBS for any work here that legally needs one. Encino is part of the City of Los Angeles, so permits go through the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS). A panel upgrade, a rewire, a repipe, or a gas line all need a permit and an inspection.
Panel upgrades also involve LADWP, since the utility owns your meter and the service drop. We coordinate the disconnect and reconnect so your power is off for the shortest time possible, then we schedule the inspection.
Why does this matter? Permitted work protects your home value and your insurance. Skipped permits show up when you sell, and they can stall an escrow. We keep every job inspected and signed off, so the record is clean.
You can verify our license anytime at the CSLB website. We are CSLB #942404, licensed for both electrical and plumbing under one contractor.
Which Encino neighborhoods do you serve?
We serve every part of Encino, from Encino Hills to the flats to the north. That includes the estates south of Ventura Boulevard, the streets around Balboa and White Oak, and the homes closer to the 101. If you live in the 91316 or 91436 area, our team can reach you the same week.
The hillside homes in Encino Hills bring their own challenges. Long driveways mean long conduit and pipe runs. Steep lots make trenching for a new gas line or service harder. We plan those jobs carefully and price the extra length up front, before any digging starts.
The flats to the north hold a mix of older ranch homes and newer builds. Some need a panel upgrade or a repipe. Others just need a plumber in Encino for a fast repair. We handle both ends of that range.
We are based in Sunland-Tujunga, a short drive across the valley. There is no trip charge for Encino. Our service call runs $100-$250, and we credit it to the work.
How much does an Encino electrician cost?
An Encino electrician from A+ Electric & Plumbing charges $58-$115 per hour, plus a service call of $100-$250 that we credit to the repair. Most common repairs land between $100 and $800. Bigger projects like a panel upgrade or a repipe are quoted as a flat written price before we start.

What moves the price? Access, distance, and how big the load is. A 400-amp service on a hillside estate costs more than a 200-amp swap on a flat lot. We give you the exact number in writing, and the invoice matches it.
Can one licensed team really handle both trades locally?
Yes, one licensed team handles both power and water locally, and that is the whole point of A+ Electric & Plumbing. Most homeowners hire two contractors, one for electrical and one for plumbing. We hold both classifications, so one team covers the job. That matters where the trades overlap.
A tankless water heater is the classic example. It needs gas and water lines from a plumber, and a dedicated circuit from an electrician. A pool remodel needs both trades too. So does a kitchen or bathroom remodel. One call covers all of it.
You also get one point of contact. When the power side and the water side are the same crew, nobody blames the other trade when something needs a second look. We own the whole result, and we stand behind our workmanship to California code.
Why hire A+ for power and water 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 CSLB license. We give you the price before we start, we pull the permits, and we do the work to California code and stand behind it.
As a plumber in Encino and an electrician on the same team, we cut your project from two schedules to one. You approve a written price. The service call is credited to the repair. The invoice matches the quote, every time.
We do not keep an office in Encino, and we will not pretend to. We are based in Sunland-Tujunga and cross the valley to you, usually the same week. There is no trip charge for Encino.

Frequently asked questions
Do you charge extra to drive to Encino from Sunland-Tujunga?
No, we do not add a trip charge for Encino. We are based in Sunland-Tujunga, a short drive across the valley, and we treat Encino as home turf. Our standard service call of $100-$250 applies, and we credit it to the work. You pay the same fair rate as any Los Angeles customer, set in writing before we start.
My Encino home has a 100-amp panel. Do I need to upgrade?
Maybe. A 100-amp panel is fine for a small home with modest loads. But Encino estates with pools, spas, EV chargers, and guest houses often draw more than that. If your breakers trip or you plan to add big loads, an upgrade to 200-amp or 400-amp service makes sense. We test the load and tell you honestly whether you need it.
Can you install an EV charger at an estate with a long driveway?
Yes. Long driveways in Encino Hills mean long conduit runs, and we plan for that. We size the circuit, run the wire from your panel to the parking spot, and set the charger to code. A longer run costs more in labor and materials, so we measure it and quote the exact price before we start. No surprises on the invoice.
Do I need a permit for a repipe or panel upgrade in Encino?
Yes. A repipe, a panel upgrade, a rewire, or a new gas line in Encino all need a permit from LADBS, the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety. We pull it, schedule the inspection, and get the work signed off. Permitted work protects your home value and your insurance, and it shows clean when you sell. We handle the paperwork for you.
Who is my utility for a panel upgrade, LADWP or someone else?
LADWP. The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power owns your meter and the service line to the house. For a panel upgrade or a new 400-amp service, we coordinate the disconnect and reconnect with LADWP so your power is off for the shortest time. A plumber in Encino from our team handles the water side the same careful way.
Can you handle multiple water heaters in a big Encino home?
Yes. Large Encino homes often run two or three water heaters, sometimes with a recirculation loop for instant hot water. When one fails, we can replace just that unit or plan a tankless conversion for the whole house. Because we are electricians too, the circuit for a tankless unit is one job, not a second contractor. We quote each option in writing.
Do you cover both Encino Hills and the flats to the north?
Yes. We cover all of Encino, from the estates in Encino Hills south of Ventura Boulevard to the flats to the north near the 101. Hillside jobs take more planning for long runs and steep lots, while the flats often need panel upgrades or repipes on older homes. An Encino electrician and plumber from our team reaches every part of the area.
