When something stops working and you need an electrician in Santa Clarita, the first question is usually the same: how soon can someone get out here? Coleman Electrical Service covers Santa Clarita and the surrounding area, and same-day appointments are often available when you call between 6:00 AM and 10:00 PM. We are available every day of the week, and the work is carried out by licensed electricians who know what California code requires and what the housing stock in a city this size actually throws at them.
Santa Clarita has a wide range of electrical needs: single-family homes being updated for a sale, newer builds being fitted with EV chargers, apartment complexes with aging panels, and commercial spaces that need wiring done without shutting down operations. Whatever the situation, we give you a price on the call before anything is scheduled and get someone out as soon as the schedule allows. Call (747) 368-2289 and we will take it from there.
When you call, we ask what is going on, where the problem seems to be, and what the property looks like. From that conversation we put together a price that covers the work described. You get that number before we book anything, so there is no guessing about what the visit will cost.
What can change a quote is what we find once we are on site. Wiring that runs through finished walls, a panel that turns out to be more involved than the initial call suggested, or a related problem discovered during the work are all things we flag before continuing. We explain what changed and confirm the revised price. No charges are added after the fact without your knowledge.
Pricing is explained up front and confirmed before we start. If you have questions about what is included, ask on the call and you will get a straight answer. We give honest recommendations on repairs, never an upsell.
In a flat or apartment, the panel is often in a shared hallway, a utility room, or a locked electrical closet rather than inside the unit itself. That changes how a service call works. We identify where the panel lives, confirm access before the visit, and work within whatever access arrangement the building requires.
When part of the electrical supply is communal, such as shared lighting circuits or building-level metering, the responsibility for that wiring sits with the property owner or the building manager rather than the individual tenant. We will tell you on the call which parts of the problem are inside the unit and which are not, so you know who to contact about the portions that fall outside the scope of a standard tenant repair.
For landlords and property managers in Santa Clarita handling multiple units, we handle code compliance inspections, outlet and GFCI upgrades, panel assessments, and repairs across a building in a single visit where the schedule allows. We'll handle the wiring so you don't have to.
When we finish, we test every circuit that was worked on and verify that outlets, fixtures, and breakers are operating correctly. We label every breaker clearly so the panel is readable by whoever opens it next, whether that is you, a future electrician, or a home inspector. We leave written documentation of what was found, what was done, and which circuits were involved.
That record matters when a property changes hands. A home inspector or a buyer's agent who finds clean, labeled work and a clear account of what was upgraded is looking at a property that has been properly maintained. For rental properties, documentation of electrical work supports compliance with habitability requirements and makes re-letting easier. We test every circuit. We label every breaker. We leave it safe.
The detail lives on our electrical page.
Electrical problems don't wait, and neither do we, and the situations that lead to a call vary a lot depending on the property. A city of this size has everything from newer construction with modern panels to older homes that have been added onto over the decades, each with its own set of electrical realities.
A dead outlet, a breaker that trips every time a particular appliance runs, or a light switch that stopped responding are all situations that need a proper diagnosis rather than a reset and a wait. We trace the problem from the symptom back to the source, whether that means testing outlets for correct grounding, checking for loose connections that cause arcing, or identifying a failing breaker that is no longer holding its load. Arc-fault and ground-fault breakers get checked as part of this process where they are present, because a tripping AFCI or GFCI is telling you something specific about what is happening on that circuit.
A panel that is full, a service that cannot carry the load of a modern kitchen plus an EV charger plus a battery backup system, or a panel that a home inspector has flagged are all situations that lead to a panel upgrade. We handle the load calculation, the panel replacement, and the service upgrade from start to finish, including grounding and bonding work that has to be done correctly for the new equipment to function as it should. For larger homes and commercial properties, subpanel installation is part of the same conversation.
Getting your power back is easier than you think when the real fix is adding capacity rather than repairing what is there. New circuits for EV chargers, solar and battery backup systems, home additions, garage conversions, and major appliances all start with a panel assessment to confirm the capacity is there before we run the wire. Whole-home surge protection installs at the panel and protects appliances, electronics, and EV charging circuits from voltage spikes during grid restoration events, which are a recurring reality across the region during wildfire season.
The service page carries the full breakdown of what each type of work involves.
Same-day service is often available in Santa Clarita when you call during our hours of 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM. If the situation is urgent, such as a sparking outlet, a burning smell near the panel, or a complete loss of power to part of the building, let us know when you call and we will prioritize accordingly.
For tenants and businesses that need to stay operational, we work around the schedule. We confirm which circuits will be de-energized and for how long before we start, so you can plan around the visit rather than being caught off guard. We show up, and we keep you posted until the job is done.
Reach out and an electrician will follow up.
Properties on the edges of the city and in the surrounding area sometimes run well pumps or irrigation systems that need their own dedicated circuits. These draws are consistent and often high enough that they need proper sizing and a breaker matched to the load. We assess the existing circuit or run a new one from the panel, and we make sure grounding is correct for outdoor and buried applications.
Electric ranges, wall ovens, dryers, refrigerators, and dishwashers each need their own circuit sized to the appliance. Running a high-draw appliance on a shared circuit causes nuisance tripping and puts the wiring under stress it was not designed to handle. We run the dedicated circuit, install the correct outlet or connection, and confirm the panel has the capacity before we start.
Replacing a fixture, adding recessed lighting to a room that has none, or wiring under-cabinet lighting in a kitchen remodel are all jobs that look simple from the outside but involve checking the existing wiring, confirming the circuit load, and making sure the installation meets code. We handle the full electrical side, from the panel circuit to the fixture itself.
A new range or dryer going into an older home often means the existing outlet is the wrong configuration or the circuit is undersized for the new appliance. We identify what is there, run the correct 240-volt circuit where needed, and install the outlet to match. Code-compliant wiring on every job means the installation will pass inspection.
Older Santa Clarita homes that still have knob-and-tube wiring in place are carrying a system that was never designed for modern electrical loads and that most insurers will not cover without remediation. We handle partial and full replacement, working through finished walls and attic spaces where needed, and bring the affected circuits up to current California code. Whole-home rewiring is a multi-day project, and we walk through the scope with you before anything begins.
We cover Santa Clarita and the communities around it throughout Los Angeles County, including Stevenson Ranch, Castaic, San Fernando, Val Verde, and Hasley Canyon. Whether the job is in a single-family home, a multi-unit rental, or a commercial property, we cover the area and same-day service is often available.
Pick up the phone and we'll get rolling.
A detached garage needs its own dedicated circuit or subpanel run from the main panel, along with proper grounding at the detached structure. The wiring method depends on whether the run is underground or overhead and how much load the garage will carry. We assess the panel's available capacity and the distance before recommending the right approach.
A built-in wall oven and a separate cooktop each need their own dedicated 240-volt circuit, sized to the load rating of the specific appliance. They cannot share a circuit. We confirm the appliance specifications before running the circuits so the wiring is sized correctly for what is being installed.
Yes. We assess what has been done, identify what remains, and continue from that point. If any of the existing work does not meet code, we explain what needs to be corrected and confirm the price before we proceed.
When wiring is buried in a finished ceiling, a concrete slab, or a wall cavity that cannot be opened, we assess whether the existing run can be tested and reused, whether a new route is available, or whether surface-mounted conduit is the right solution. We explain the options before any work begins.
Yes. When cutting into a wall is not an option, such as in a tiled bathroom, a masonry wall, or a rented space where the landlord does not permit it, surface-mounted conduit or trunking is a code-compliant way to run new wiring. We explain the options and what each one looks like before the job begins.
Yes. Office wiring, retail buildouts, commercial panel upgrades, and multi-unit residential properties are all part of what we handle. For buildings with multiple units or tenants, we coordinate access and confirm which circuits will be affected before the work begins, so the disruption is as limited as possible.
The inland valleys run genuinely hot in summer, and air conditioning places real demand on electrical systems. That load, combined with widespread EV adoption and rooftop solar across the region, means panel capacity and dedicated circuit work come up regularly here. Whole-home surge protection is also a practical consideration given grid restoration events during wildfire season.
No. If a problem returns after we have worked on it, we treat that as a callback on the original job rather than a separate service call. We find out whether the original repair was incomplete or whether a related issue has surfaced, and we address it.

| Service Type | Scope of Work | Best For | Things to Know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hot-Tub Circuits | 240-volt dedicated circuit, GFCI disconnect installation, outdoor wiring and conduit, bonding and grounding | Homeowners installing a spa or hot tub and needing the electrical side handled correctly | Hot tub wiring involves specific code requirements for GFCI protection and bonding. Getting it right the first time avoids problems at inspection. |
| Breaker & Fuse Repair | failing breaker replacement, fuse panel evaluation, overcurrent protection checks, panel interior inspection | Homeowners with a breaker that trips repeatedly or will not reset | A breaker that keeps tripping is doing its job, but the underlying cause still needs to be found and corrected. |
| Standby Battery for Outages | battery backup wiring, transfer switch installation, critical load panel setup, grid-tie and off-grid configurations | Homeowners who want power for essential circuits when the grid goes down | Sizing the battery correctly starts with knowing which circuits you need to keep running. We work through that on the call before anything is scheduled. |
| Electrical Repairs & Troubleshooting | tracing faults to the source, testing outlets and circuits, arcing and loose connection repair, GFCI and AFCI protection | Any home or business with a symptom that needs a diagnosis | A tripping breaker or dead outlet can point to something deeper. We identify the real problem before recommending a fix. |
| Outlet & Switch Installation | GFCI outlet installation, switch replacement and upgrade, dedicated outlet runs, exterior and weatherproof outlets | Homeowners adding outlets or replacing devices that have stopped working | GFCI protection is required by California code in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor locations. We install to current code on every job. |
| Older-Home Rewiring | knob-and-tube replacement, aluminum branch-circuit remediation, partial and whole-home rewires, wiring for additions and remodels | Owners of older Santa Clarita properties with wiring that has been flagged or is showing symptoms | The scope of a rewire depends on what is actually in the walls. We assess the existing wiring before recommending a full or partial approach. |
| Whole-Home Surge Protection | panel-mounted surge protector installation, grounding and bonding verification, protection for appliances and electronics, EV charger circuit protection | Any home with sensitive electronics, an EV charger, or solar equipment worth protecting | A surge protector at the panel intercepts voltage spikes before they reach your devices. Grounding and bonding are checked as part of the installation. |
| Wiring & Circuit Installation | new circuit runs, renovation and addition wiring, garage and shed wiring, code-compliant rough-in work | Additions, conversions, and any space being built out or rewired | New wiring in California is inspected to code. We handle the load calculation and panel capacity check as part of the project. |
| Electrical Panel & Service UpgradesMost Popular | 200-amp service upgrades, panel replacement, subpanel installation, load calculations and grounding | Older homes, properties under renovation, or any panel flagged during an inspection | Many Santa Clarita homes were built with 100-amp service. A load calculation before the upgrade confirms the new panel can carry what you are adding. |
| Electrical Safety Inspections | panel and wiring condition review, GFCI and AFCI check, grounding and bonding evaluation, pre-sale and rental unit inspections | Landlords, buyers, sellers, and anyone with an older property | A written summary of findings comes with every inspection so you know exactly what was found and what, if anything, needs attention. |
| Dedicated Appliance Circuits | dryer and range circuits, hot tub and spa wiring, workshop and garage circuits, disconnect and breaker installation | Any high-draw appliance that needs its own breaker and wire run | Running a dedicated circuit means the appliance does not compete with other loads on the same breaker, which reduces nuisance tripping and wear. |
| Lighting Installation | recessed and LED lighting, kitchen and bathroom lighting, exterior and security lighting, landscape lighting circuits | Remodels, new construction, or any space where the existing lighting is not working for the room | Exterior and landscape lighting circuits need proper weatherproofing and grounding. We handle the circuit run, not just the fixture. |
| Solar & Battery Backup | transfer switch installation, battery backup wiring, panel capacity and interconnection work, critical load circuit setup | Homeowners adding solar or battery storage, especially ahead of wildfire season outages | Public-safety power shutoffs across Los Angeles County have made battery backup a practical choice. We handle the electrical side so the system actually works when the grid goes down. |
| Ceiling Fan Installation | fan and fixture swap, new circuit and wiring runs, box and brace installation, switch and remote wiring | Homeowners replacing an old fan or adding one where no wiring exists | If there is no existing wiring at the ceiling location, we run the circuit from the panel. No guesswork on whether the box can hold the weight. |
| EV Charger Installation | Level 2 charger installation, dedicated 240-volt circuit, panel capacity check, garage and driveway placement | Electric vehicle owners who need faster overnight charging than a standard outlet provides | California has some of the highest EV adoption in the country. If the panel needs room for the new circuit, we handle that as part of the same visit. |
