Hollywood Electrician and Plumber

What electrical and plumbing work do you do in Hollywood?

A Hollywood electrician from A+ Electric & Plumbing handles panels, rewiring, outlets, lighting, and EV chargers, while the same crew covers your plumbing. We wire, and we plumb. Because one licensed team holds both trade classifications, a single visit can cover both jobs.

• Panel upgrades and new circuits for homes that draw more power
• Whole home rewiring where old wiring no longer meets code
• Outlet, switch, and lighting work, indoors and out
• EV charger installation in garages and carports
• Drain cleaning, repipes, and water heater work on the plumbing side
• Gas line work for ranges, dryers, and tankless heaters

The two trades show up on real jobs here. Adding a car charger in a Beachwood Canyon garage needs a new circuit, and sometimes a panel upgrade. Installing a tankless heater needs both a gas line and a dedicated circuit. We handle the whole thing, so you book one crew instead of two.

See our full electrician and plumber service lists for the details. A plumber in Hollywood from our team can jet a slow drain the same afternoon we swap a breaker upstairs. That is one call, not two.

Need help at an odd hour? A live person answers any time at (818) 421-5290, then a licensed tech is dispatched. Breakers that will not reset, a burst pipe, or no hot water all count as urgent, and we treat them that way.

What do Hollywood's older buildings and hillside homes need most?

Hollywood's older buildings need panel upgrades and rewiring, while hillside homes need long runs handled with care. The area mixes historic apartments and boulevard flats with single family homes up in the Hollywood Hills and Beachwood Canyon. Each type brings its own wiring headaches.

The old buildings often still run knob and tube wiring, two prong outlets, and panels that are too small for modern life. Knob and tube wiring has no ground, and today's loads can overheat it. A rewiring job replaces it with grounded circuits that meet code.

Undersized panels are the next problem. Many old units still sit at 60 or 100 amps. Add a wall AC unit, a modern kitchen, and a big screen, and the breakers trip. A panel upgrade gives the home the capacity it needs.

Up in the Hills, the challenge shifts. Long cable runs, tight access, and steep driveways make every job take planning. A Hollywood electrician who knows these streets brings the right wire and the right ladder the first time. On the water side, old galvanized pipe often needs a repipe.

Water pressure is another hillside issue. Homes high in the canyon can see pressure swings, and old regulators fail. We check the pressure, set the regulator, and flag any galvanized line that is ready to leak. Catching it early beats a wall or slab leak later.

Do you pull permits with LADBS here?

Yes. We pull permits with the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety, or LADBS, for any work that needs one. Panel upgrades, rewiring, new circuits, and gas line work all qualify here.

We handle the paperwork, book the inspection, and make sure the job passes. That protects you later, when you sell or refinance. You can review the rules at LADBS.

Power and water both run through LADWP in this part of the city. So we coordinate any meter reset or service upgrade with the utility as part of the job. You do not chase two agencies; we do that for you.

New construction and tenant work need permits too. If you are opening a shop or a restaurant on the boulevard, we line up the electrical and plumbing permits with your build schedule, so inspections do not hold up your opening day.

Skipping a permit is a false savings. Unpermitted work can fail an inspection later, stall a home sale, or void insurance after a fire. We do it by the book, to California code, every time.

Which neighborhoods do you cover around here?

We cover the Hollywood Hills, Franklin Village, Beachwood Canyon, and the flats around the boulevards. Each pocket has its own housing stock, and that shapes the work we do most.

• Hollywood Hills: hillside homes, long runs, outdoor lighting, and older water lines
• Franklin Village: historic apartments that need panel upgrades and drain cleaning
• Beachwood Canyon: single family homes ready for rewiring and repipes
• The flats around the boulevards: mixed use and commercial, including restaurant plumbing

A plumber in Hollywood spends a lot of time on old cast iron drains and galvanized supply lines in these buildings. We clear the drains, and when the pipe is past saving, we repipe. On the boulevards, restaurant kitchens add grease lines and constant drain work.

No matter the pocket, the pattern repeats. Older wiring, older pipe, and not enough panel capacity for how people live now. We see it in a 1920s fourplex in Franklin Village and in a remodeled home off Beachwood Drive. The fix is the same idea: bring the power and the plumbing up to current code.

How much does an electrician or plumber cost locally?

Locally, a service call runs $100 to $250 and gets credited to the repair, and our electrician rate is $58 to $115 an hour. Below are typical ranges for the Los Angeles market.

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.

On the plumbing side, a common repair runs $100 to $800, and a Hollywood plumber visit for drain cleaning usually lands in the low hundreds. Bigger jobs like a repipe or a water heater swap cost more, and we quote those in writing after we see the site.

What moves the price? Access and age. A hillside home with a long run costs more than a ground floor flat. An old panel that hides surprises behind the wall can add time. A Hollywood electrician quote from us is written and firm before any work starts.

Are you really local if you are based over the hill?

We are honest about it. Our base is in Sunland-Tujunga, a moderate trip over the hill from Hollywood. We do not keep an office here, and we will not pretend to.

Even so, we work in Hollywood every week. We know the streets, the old buildings, and the LADBS process. What we bring is a licensed team that shows up prepared, with the right parts on the truck.

Being based in the Valley has an upside for you. We run electrical and plumbing calls across the San Fernando Valley and over the hill daily, so we carry a deep parts inventory and can often handle both trades on the same visit to Hollywood.

For most jobs, there is no extra charge for the drive. If a job needs a special trip or an odd hour, we quote any travel fee up front, before you agree to anything. You can verify our license at CSLB under CSLB #942404.

Why hire A+ as your Hollywood electrician?

A+ Electric & Plumbing, a licensed electrician and plumber serving Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley, gives Hollywood one team for power and water. You approve the price before we start, and a real person answers the phone at any hour.

Why does one team matter? A tankless water heater needs a plumber for the water and gas, and an electrician for the circuit. We send one crew that does both. One call, one schedule, one invoice, and no finger pointing.

We are licensed to California code under CSLB #942404, and every job comes with a written workmanship guarantee. If it is not right, we come back and make it right.
