Serving Malibu and the surrounding area
We cover all of Malibu, from downtown out to the newer subdivisions on the edge of town, plus the neighboring communities of Calabasas, Agoura Hills and Hidden Hills.
Malibu sits in Los Angeles County, and the electrical work here reflects that mix: older housing stock that needs grounding, capacity and device upgrades, alongside newer construction that simply needs more circuits than it was built with. Crews route through Greater Los Angeles daily, so travel time to a call in Malibu is short.

How a Malibu service call works
You call, we answer
A dispatcher picks up 24 hours a day and gets the details — what is happening, where, and how urgent.
We diagnose before we price
The electrician tests and inspects, then explains what is actually wrong in plain terms.
You approve a flat price
One number for the whole job, agreed before any work starts. No hourly meter.
We do the work and clean up
Parts on the truck for most jobs, permits pulled where required, circuits labeled at the end.
What affects the price in Malibu
| Type of work | Device replacements and small repairs are the low end; panel upgrades, rewires and generator installs are project-priced. |
|---|---|
| Age of the wiring | Older Malibu homes may need grounding, box replacement or circuit separation before the requested work can be done safely. |
| Access | Attic, crawlspace and wall access drives most of the labor difference between two otherwise identical jobs. |
| Permits | Panel, service, EV and rewire work is permitted, and that cost is stated in your quote up front. |
| Timing | Emergency and after-hours calls are quoted flat, so urgency does not turn into an open-ended bill. |
One number, agreed first
We diagnose, explain what is wrong, and give you a flat price for the whole job before any work starts. If you decide not to proceed, that is fine — there is no hourly meter running while you think about it.
What Malibu customers say
We rewired in stages so we could keep living here. They planned the access holes where the patcher could actually fix them, which I did not expect.
Ellen and Ray M.Malibu, CAOld fuse box gone, 200 amp service in, inspection passed the first time. Clear communication the whole way through.
Bethany W.Malibu, CACalled at 9:40 on a Sunday night with an outlet that had started smoking. Someone picked up, someone came, and it was made safe before midnight.
Dan K.Malibu, CAElectrician FAQs for Malibu
Which areas around Malibu do you cover?
We work throughout Malibu and the surrounding communities, including Calabasas, Agoura Hills, Hidden Hills and Westlake Village, plus the wider Greater Los Angeles area.
How much does an electrician cost in Malibu?
Most jobs in Malibu are quoted flat rather than hourly, so you approve one number before work begins. Small repairs and device replacements sit at the low end; panel upgrades, EV circuits and rewires are priced after we look at the service and the access.
Do you pull permits for electrical work in Malibu?
For work that requires it — panel and service upgrades, EV charger circuits, rewires, new circuits and generator installs — yes. We pull the permit with the local jurisdiction and meet the inspector.
Can you find a problem another electrician could not?
Often, because intermittent faults need testing under load rather than a visual check. Loose neutrals, back-stabbed connections and buried junction boxes are the usual culprits, and all three are findable with the right approach.
Do you handle both homes and businesses in Malibu?
Both. The same crews do residential repairs and installations during the day and commercial work — offices, restaurants, retail and warehouses — on nights and weekends so Malibu businesses can stay open.
What is the most common electrical problem you see in Malibu?
Capacity. A large share of Malibu homes were wired for a fraction of today's load, so panels run out of slots, kitchen circuits trip, and there is nowhere to land an EV charger. A panel upgrade solves most of it at once.
