Lancaster’s older core has homes from the 1950s and 1960s, and the city spread out fast in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s with large tract neighborhoods to the west and east. Next door, Quartz Hill is unincorporated Los Angeles County.
The older houses tend to need panel replacements and grounded circuits. The newer ones are where we see EV chargers, solar equipment and panels that have filled up. Either way, we start by looking at what you have and what you want to add.

Lancaster questions
Do you work in Lancaster even though you’re based in Kern County?
Yes. Lancaster is on our list of areas served, along with Palmdale and other parts of Los Angeles County. Call (323) 942-2199 with the details.
I’m adding solar or a battery. Does my panel need an upgrade?
Sometimes. Solar and batteries connect through your panel, and an older or smaller panel may not have room. We can look at your panel and tell you plainly what it can handle before you commit.
Who issues electrical permits in Lancaster?
Inside Lancaster city limits, the City of Lancaster’s building and safety staff issue permits and inspect the work. In unincorporated areas such as Quartz Hill, it’s Los Angeles County.
Safety
If something’s wrong right now.
Sparks, smoke, a burning smell or a hot panel? Turn off the breaker or the main if you can do it safely, then call (323) 942-2199. If there’s fire or smoke, get everyone out and call 911. Stay clear of downed lines and call Southern California Edison.
