Electrical Panel Upgrade in Burbank, Los Angeles County
EZ Power & Light upgrades electrical panels throughout Burbank, Los Angeles County. Serving Burbank homes and businesses since 2018. EZ Power & Light handles residential electrical, commercial tenant improvements, studio-adjacent work, and emergency service — all permitted through Burbank's own building department.
A panel upgrade in Burbank is usually driven by one of three things: a dangerous obsolete panel (Federal Pacific or Zinsco), a panel that's simply full, or a new load — an EV charger, heat pump, or solar + battery — that the existing service can't carry. We see all three across Magnolia Park, Rancho District, Hillside District and the rest of Burbank.
We quote flat-rate, never hourly. The owner walks your panel, runs the load calculation, and gives you a written number the same day — and that number is what you pay.
Why Burbank homes need panel upgrades
A lot of Burbank's housing stock predates the electrical demands of a modern home. Panels installed for a 1960s or 1970s household — a few lights, a stove, a TV — are now being asked to carry EV chargers, induction ranges, heat pumps, and home offices. When a panel is undersized or obsolete, breakers trip, bus bars overheat, and in the worst case it becomes a fire risk.
Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels are a specific concern. Independent testing has shown their breakers fail to trip reliably under overload — and many California insurers now refuse to renew homeowner policies until they're replaced. If you have one in Burbank, replacing it is both a safety upgrade and, increasingly, an insurance requirement.
