If you need an electrician in Burbank, CA, hire a licensed California electrical contractor who pulls permits through the City of Burbank and coordinates any service changes with Burbank Water and Power (BWP). Most Burbank calls fall into a few groups: panel upgrades in older homes, new circuits for kitchens, EV chargers and home offices, troubleshooting breakers that keep tripping, and tenant work in commercial spaces. B&M Electrical Services handles residential and commercial electrical work in Burbank under California license C-1098584.

Many Burbank neighborhoods were built out in the 1940s and '50s, and plenty of those houses still run on their original electrical service. The most common issues we see are panels that are too small for modern loads, two-prong ungrounded outlets, and circuits overloaded by window AC units during Valley heat waves. If your breakers trip when the AC and microwave run together, that's a capacity problem, not bad luck. Our guide on why a circuit breaker keeps tripping walks through the usual causes.
Yes. Panel replacements, new circuits, EV charger installs and most rewiring need a permit and inspection through the City of Burbank. Burbank runs its own municipal utility, so any service upgrade that changes the meter or the service drop also has to be coordinated with BWP. A licensed contractor handles both. That matters, because unpermitted work can create trouble at resale or with an insurance claim.
Common signs include a 60- or 100-amp service, breakers that run warm, a panel brand known for problems, or plans to add an EV charger, heat pump or ADU. Burbank's fall and winter highs still reach the upper 60s to 80s°F, and summer heat waves regularly push past 100°F. That means AC load is often what finally pushes an older panel past its limit. See our electrical panel upgrade service for how the process works.
Yes. Burbank has a large mix of studios, offices, retail and light industrial space, and our commercial electrician services cover tenant improvements, lighting retrofits, dedicated equipment circuits and three-phase power. One crew handles both residential and commercial work, so property owners with a home and a business can work with one contractor.

I had a great experience with this electrical service. The team showed up on time, worked efficiently, and finished the job faster than I expected while still doing everything the right way. The price was very fair compared to other quotes I received, which made the whole experience even better because the quality of work was still top-notch. I also want to give a shout out to Barrett for being pr…

B&M has done a couple jobs for me in the past year, very pleased with the work. Fast, efficient, fair pricing and the work is always really clean. Definitely a returning customer.

Barrett came out and gave me a good price on the work. They replaced my electrical panel and installed a disconnect for my AC unit. Then the next day, had a guy come out to patch up the wall and paint when the stucco dried. He also had the number of an AC technician for me to call to move a thermostat wire. Overall, great work and very communicative throughout the process.
