Why Sherman Oaks Homeowners
Hire Alpha One Electric.

Sherman Oaks is one of our most active service areas. The housing stock spans the full Valley range — 1940s-1950s ranch homes south of Ventura with original 100A panels and sometimes knob-and-tube, mid-century homes in the foothills, and major remodels and rebuilds throughout. The work tends to follow the housing stock: panel upgrades on the older properties, full rewires on homes still running pre-1960 wiring, EV charger installs and lighting upgrades on newer renovations.

Sherman Oaks is part of the City of Los Angeles, so all permits route through LADBS. We pull every permit, schedule every inspection, and attend on-site. Most LADBS residential electrical permits issue within 3-5 business days. LADWP service-drop coordination, when required, typically takes 2 weeks from request.
