Electrical Panel Upgrade in Encino, Los Angeles County
EZ Power & Light upgrades electrical panels throughout Encino, Los Angeles County. EZ Power & Light proudly serves Encino's established residential neighborhoods and commercial corridors along Ventura Boulevard. Encino's mix of luxury homes and older estates often need panel upgrades and modern electrical systems to support today's technology demands.
A panel upgrade in Encino 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 Encino Hills, Royal Oaks, Amestoy Estates and the rest of Encino.
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 Encino homes need panel upgrades
A lot of Encino'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 Encino, replacing it is both a safety upgrade and, increasingly, an insurance requirement.

Replaced a Zinsco panel that had been scaring me for years. New Siemens 200 amp. Fair price, permitted, safe.

Took longer than I expected due to city inspector scheduling but the work itself was top notch.

The owner showed up himself — I wasn't expecting that. He was professional, explained exactly what he was doing, and the Level 2 charger works perfectly. Price was exactly what he quoted. Will use again for sure.

Whole home surge protector installed. Peace of mind with all the electronics we have. Fair price.
