Electrical Panel Upgrade in Tarzana, Los Angeles County
EZ Power & Light upgrades electrical panels throughout Tarzana, Los Angeles County. Tarzana homeowners and businesses turn to EZ Power & Light for residential and commercial electrical services. From hillside estates to Ventura Boulevard tenant improvements, we do it all with the owner on-site.
A panel upgrade in Tarzana 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 Tarzana Hills, El Caballero, Reseda-Tarzana and the rest of Tarzana.
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 Tarzana homes need panel upgrades
A lot of Tarzana'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 Tarzana, replacing it is both a safety upgrade and, increasingly, an insurance requirement.

Tesla Wall Connector installed same week I called. Other companies quoted me way more and wanted to charge hourly. EZ gave me a flat price and stuck to it.

Had some outlets and switches replaced plus a ceiling fan installed. Good work. Pricing was fair but not the cheapest I was quoted. Quality makes up for it tho.

Lost power to our kitchen and garage randomly. The owner came out next morning, found a bad connection in the panel, fixed it on the spot. Charged a very fair price.
