Electrician & plumber in Los Feliz
Los Feliz Electrician and Plumber
A Los Feliz electrician from A+ Electric & Plumbing keeps the grand old homes below Griffith Park safe and to code, with wiring, panels, and plumbing from one licensed team. Many houses here date to the 1920s, so we swap out knob-and-tube, upsize tired panels, and repipe galvanized lines. From Laughlin Park to the Franklin Hills, you get both trades on a single visit, at a price agreed before we start.

- Los Feliz electrician and plumber, one licensed team (CSLB #942404)
- Service call $100-$250, credited to the repair
- Panel upgrades, rewiring, EV chargers, drains, repipes, water heaters
- We pull LADBS permits and work to California code
- Serving the Los Feliz Hills, Franklin Hills, Laughlin Park, and the flats
What electrical and plumbing work do you do in Los Feliz?
A Los Feliz electrician from A+ Electric & Plumbing handles panels, rewiring, outlets, lighting, and EV chargers, and the same crew covers your plumbing. We wire, and we plumb. One licensed team holds both trade classifications, so a single visit can settle two 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, inside and out
- EV charger installation in garages and long driveways
- Drain cleaning, repipes, and water heater work on the plumbing side
- Gas line work for ranges, dryers, and tankless heaters
The two trades meet on real jobs here. Adding a car charger in a Los Feliz Hills garage needs a new circuit, and sometimes a panel upgrade. Installing a tankless heater needs both a gas line and a dedicated circuit. We do the whole thing, so you book one crew, not two.
See our full electrician and plumber service lists for the details. A plumber in Los Feliz from our team can clear 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 the historic homes here need most?
The historic homes here need panel upgrades, rewiring, and long hillside runs handled with care. Los Feliz mixes grand estates and 1920s Spanish and Tudor houses near Griffith Park. Each style carries its own wiring quirks.
Many of these homes still run knob and tube wiring and two prong outlets. Knob and tube has no ground, and modern loads can overheat it. A rewiring job swaps it for grounded circuits that meet code.
Big old panels are the next issue. A grand house can carry a large but dated panel that no longer keeps up. Add a remodeled kitchen, central air, and a home office, and the breakers trip. A panel upgrade restores the capacity.
Up in the Los Feliz Hills, the work shifts. Long cable runs, tight lots, and steep driveways make each estate job a planning exercise. A Los Feliz 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 troubles the hillside too. Homes high above the flats can see pressure swings, and old regulators wear out. We test the pressure, set the regulator, and flag any galvanized line near failure. Catching it early beats a slab leak later.
Do you pull permits with LADBS locally?
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.
We fill out the paperwork, book the inspection, and make sure the job passes. That record protects you when you sell or refinance an older Los Feliz home. You can read the rules at LADBS.
Power and water both come 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 handle that.
Skipping a permit is a false savings. Unpermitted work can fail an inspection, stall a sale, or void insurance after a fire. We do it by the book, to California code, every time.
Which neighborhoods do you cover in Los Feliz?
We cover the Los Feliz Hills, Franklin Hills, Laughlin Park, and the flats near Griffith Park. Each pocket has its own housing stock, and that shapes the work we do most.
- Los Feliz Hills: hillside estates, long runs, outdoor lighting, and aging water lines
- Franklin Hills: 1920s homes that need panel upgrades and drain cleaning
- Laughlin Park: gated historic estates with big loads and long service runs
- The flats near Griffith Park: Spanish and Tudor houses ready for rewiring and repipes
A plumber in Los Feliz spends many hours on old cast iron drains and galvanized supply lines in these houses. We clear the drains, and when the pipe is past saving, we repipe. Tree roots near Griffith Park find old clay laterals, so we camera the line first.
No matter the pocket, the pattern repeats. Older wiring, older pipe, and a panel built for a smaller era. We see it in a Franklin Hills bungalow and in a Laughlin Park estate. The fix follows one idea: bring the power and the plumbing up to current code.
How much does an electrician or plumber cost here?
Here, 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.

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 $150 to $800, and a Los Feliz 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 estate with a long run costs more than a flat near the park. An old panel that hides surprises behind the wall can add time. A Los Feliz electrician quote from us is written and firm before any work begins.
Are you really local if you are based over the hill?
We are honest about it. Our base sits in Sunland-Tujunga, a moderate trip over the hill from Los Feliz. We do not keep an office here, and we will not pretend to.
Still, we work in Los Feliz most weeks. We know the streets, the historic homes, and the LADBS process. As your Los Feliz electrician and plumber, we arrive prepared, with the right parts on the truck.
Being based in the foothills helps you, though. We run electrical and plumbing calls across the San Fernando Valley and over the hill daily, so we carry deep parts inventory and can often finish both trades on one visit.
For most jobs, the drive costs you nothing extra. 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 Los Feliz electrician?
A+ Electric & Plumbing, a licensed electrician and plumber serving Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley, gives Los Feliz 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 carries a written workmanship guarantee. If it is not right, we come back and make it right.

Frequently asked questions
Do you fix knob and tube wiring in old Los Feliz homes?
Yes. Many 1920s Spanish and Tudor homes near Griffith Park still run knob and tube wiring. It has no ground and can overheat under modern loads. We rewire it with grounded circuits that meet code, pull the LADBS permit, and book the inspection. We can phase the work room by room so a lived in house stays comfortable while we go.
Can you handle a hillside estate in the Los Feliz Hills?
Yes. We work hillside estates in the Los Feliz Hills and Laughlin Park often. Those jobs bring long cable runs, tight lots, and steep driveways. We plan the run, bring the right length of wire, and carry the ladder the job needs. That planning keeps the visit to one trip, which saves you time and money on a big property.
How fast can a plumber in Los Feliz reach me?
It depends on the day and the job, and we give you an honest window when you call. A plumber in Los Feliz from our team covers drain cleaning, repipes, water heaters, and gas lines. For a burst pipe or no hot water, we treat it as urgent. A real person answers any hour at (818) 421-5290 and dispatches a licensed tech.
Do I need a permit to upgrade my panel here?
Usually yes. A panel upgrade, new circuits, rewiring, and gas work all need an LADBS permit here. We pull it, book the inspection, and confirm the job passes to California code. Permitted work protects you when you sell or refinance, and it keeps your insurance valid. Unpermitted work can fail later, so we never skip that step.
Do you charge extra to drive to Los Feliz?
For most jobs, no. Our base is in Sunland-Tujunga, a moderate trip over the hill, but we do not add a fee for the normal drive to Los Feliz. If a job needs a special trip or an odd hour, we quote any travel charge up front, before you agree. You will never find a surprise mileage line on the invoice.
Can one visit cover both electrical and plumbing?
Yes, and that is our main advantage here. One licensed team holds both the electrical and the plumbing license. So a tankless water heater install, which needs a plumber for the water and gas and an electrician for the circuit, becomes one job with one crew. You get one schedule, one invoice, and no two contractors blaming each other.
What does a panel upgrade cost in Los Feliz?
A panel upgrade to 200 amps runs about $2,500 to $4,500 in the typical Los Angeles range. The price depends on the panel location, the service length, and whether LADWP must reset the meter. Grand old Los Feliz homes sometimes hide surprises behind the wall, which can add time. We give you a written price first, and the invoice matches it.
