Full-scope electrical services for the greater Los Angeles area — from commercial EV charger installations and tenant improvements to residential panel upgrades and new construction wiring.
Electrical Services in Los Angeles
Los Angeles is the largest market in Southern California, with massive demand for commercial EV infrastructure, tenant improvements, and residential electrical upgrades. DCP Electric brings full EPC capabilities to projects across the LA basin.
Commercial EV Charger Installation
Los Angeles is ground zero for California's EV revolution. With LA's ambitious zero-emission vehicle mandates and the city's growing network of charging infrastructure, commercial properties need to offer EV charging to attract tenants, customers, and employees. We design and install Level 2 and DC fast charging systems for office buildings, retail centers, parking structures, multifamily housing, and fleet depots across Los Angeles. Our EVITP certification ensures every installation meets utility requirements for incentive programs like LADWP's Charge Up L.A.!
Commercial & Industrial Electrical
From Downtown LA office tower tenant improvements to warehouse electrical buildouts in the Arts District, DCP Electric handles the full spectrum of commercial electrical work in Los Angeles. We specialize in tenant improvement projects, electrical system upgrades for older commercial buildings, 3-phase power installations, lighting retrofits, and electrical infrastructure for restaurant and retail buildouts. Our EPC approach means we engineer, procure materials, and construct — delivering turnkey electrical solutions for LA businesses.
Panel Upgrades & Electrical Modernization
Many of Los Angeles' homes and commercial buildings were built decades ago with electrical systems that can't handle modern demands. Adding EV chargers, HVAC systems, or commercial equipment to older LA properties almost always requires a panel upgrade. We upgrade residential panels from 100A to 200A or 400A, install new commercial service entrances, and modernize knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring in older LA neighborhoods. Every upgrade is permitted through LADBS and passes inspection the first time.

Commercial Electrical ServicesWhy Los Angeles Trusts DCP Electric
Full EPC Capabilities
Unlike most electrical contractors who only handle installation, DCP Electric is a full Engineer-Procure-Construct firm. For LA's complex commercial projects — whether it's a multi-story parking garage EV installation or a ground-up restaurant buildout — we handle engineering design, material procurement, and construction under one contract. This eliminates the coordination headaches of managing multiple vendors on LA's fast-paced construction timelines.
LADBS Permit Expertise
The Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety has some of the most rigorous permitting requirements in the country. Our team knows the LADBS process inside and out — from plan check submissions to final inspections. We pull all required permits, coordinate with inspectors, and ensure every project passes inspection the first time, saving LA property owners weeks of delays and re-work costs.
LA Green Building Compliance
Los Angeles leads California in green building requirements. From the city's EV-ready building ordinance to Title 24 energy efficiency standards, electrical work in LA must comply with an evolving web of sustainability codes. DCP Electric stays current with all LA-specific requirements and designs installations that not only meet today's codes but anticipate future mandates — protecting your investment for years to come.
Woman-Owned Business Advantage
As a woman-owned business, DCP Electric helps LA property owners and general contractors meet diversity and inclusion goals on public and private projects. Many LA developments require or prefer women-owned subcontractors. Our certification, combined with our technical capabilities, makes us a strong partner for projects that value both quality work and supplier diversity.
What Los Angeles Clients Say
We needed 24 EV charging stations installed across our parking garage in West LA on a tight timeline. DCP Electric handled the entire project from engineering design through LADWP interconnection. They finished ahead of schedule and helped us qualify for the Charge Up L.A.! incentive program, which saved us over $50,000 on the project.

Electrical Services Across the Los Angeles Basin
Los Angeles is the economic engine of Southern California, home to over 4 million residents and hundreds of thousands of commercial properties that all need reliable electrical infrastructure. The city's aggressive push toward electrification — from EV mandates to building decarbonization requirements — means demand for skilled electrical contractors has never been higher. DCP Electric meets this demand with the technical expertise and EPC capabilities that LA's most complex projects require.
The commercial EV charging market in Los Angeles is exploding. The city's EV-ready building ordinance requires new construction and major renovations to include EV charging infrastructure, and existing buildings are racing to add chargers to remain competitive for tenants and customers. LADWP's Charge Up L.A.! program provides substantial incentives for commercial EV installations, but the application and interconnection process is complex. DCP Electric guides LA property owners through the entire process — from incentive applications to utility coordination to final commissioning — maximizing rebates while minimizing construction timelines.
Beyond EV infrastructure, Los Angeles' older building stock presents significant electrical modernization opportunities. Neighborhoods like Silver Lake, Echo Park, and Highland Park are experiencing rapid renovation activity, with mid-century homes requiring complete electrical system overhauls to support modern living. Commercial corridors along Wilshire, La Brea, and throughout Downtown LA are seeing tenant improvement projects that demand sophisticated electrical systems. And new construction throughout the city must comply with California's Title 24 and LA's own green building standards. DCP Electric handles all of it — residential, commercial, and industrial — with the engineering-first approach that distinguishes us from typical electrical contractors.
