Expert Electrical Troubleshooting in Los Angeles County, CA

Electrical troubleshooting is how we find the real cause of power problems in your home or business. Flickering lights, tripped breakers, dead outlets, and warm switch plates are not random. They point to specific faults in your wiring, circuits, or panel. Los Angeles County has a large share of older properties. Many were built between the 1940s and 1970s and still carry aging wiring that was never designed for today's appliance loads. Aluminum branch circuit wiring from the 1960s and 1970s is common in this area and can loosen at connection points over time. At Genius Electric Power And Cabling, we run a full diagnostic on your system. We test circuits, check connections, and trace faults to the source. We do not reset a breaker and call it done. We find what is actually wrong and fix it correctly. If you are seeing any warning signs in your Los Angeles County property, call us to schedule a diagnostic visit.

Saiyan Electric exceeded my expectations from start to finish. Julio and Rodrigo completed my panel upgrade and did outstanding work. The installation was flawless and passed city inspection immediately. Walter handled the stucco repair, and it also passed inspection right away. Everything was done professionally and looks great. A big thank you to William for his excellent customer service. He was always quick to respond to calls and texts, kept me updated throughout the project, and made the entire process easy. The crew was professional, respectful, and left the work area spotless when they finished. Honestly, I did not expect this level of customer service and attention to detail. Quality work, great communication, and a smooth experience from beginning to end. I highly recommend Saiyan Electric.

Gene from Genius Electric and his team were excellent. Christian, Jordan, and Troy were professional, friendly, and thorough. They completed a full home inspection, identified a cross-wired issue, and explained everything clearly. When we asked about an electrical panel upgrade, Christian went above and beyond with detailed explanations that truly addressed my safety concerns. As a detail-oriented person, I appreciated the clarity and care. Overall, a great experience with a strong mix of professionalism and personal touch. Highly recommend.

Very satisfied customer! Genius Electric upgrade both our interior and exterior panels. When the team came they were professional and organized. In addition to the panels they were able to split some circuits and add a circuit for my garage. The wiring was precise and looked great. I have recommended their services to my friends and family.

Great job! My husband and I had Genius electric come out on several different occasions. Some were small projects, replacing light switches iand ceiling fans and some are much more complicated. Upgrading our electrical to 220v that had to have city approval, when my husband‘s parents moved in. The team was prompt and cleaned up after themselves. Any projects going forward, we will use them again.!!!
