Everything we do in Redondo Beach, with what each job usually involves here. The photos are from our own jobs.
Replacing original panels in pre-1980 houses and apartment meter banks, with the city permit, the inspection and SCE's panel upgrade request and meter set coordinated in order. For the load question first, read whether a heat pump or induction range needs a bigger panel.
Level 2 circuits for houses, townhome garages and condo parking, agreed with the HOA before any equipment is bought; on an older service, start with whether a charger fits a 100-amp panel.
Tracing tripping breakers and dead outlets in houses wired in stages, and corroded meter sockets, boxes and fixtures on the salt-air blocks near the harbor and the pier.

Call (844) 430-7681Request an estimateRedondo Beach incorporated in 1892 and has grown into a city of about 71,600 people (2020 census) in two ZIP codes, 90277 and 90278. Locals talk about North Redondo and South Redondo, and the city's own housing element maps its housing sites in two halves at 190th Street. South Redondo holds the pier, King Harbor, Riviera Village along South Catalina Avenue and the waterfront; North Redondo holds most of the inland neighbourhoods, the South Bay Galleria area and the city's industrial land, including the Northrop Grumman campus.
The housing has changed shape over the decades. In 1960 the city had about 15,600 homes and more than three-quarters were single-family detached houses; by 2020 it had about 31,000, and the 2015–2019 estimates in the city's housing element put detached houses at roughly 41% of the stock, single-family attached homes at 14% and multifamily buildings at most of the rest. The housing element also counts over two-thirds of the homes as built before 1980 and about half of all units as rentals. On one street you can find a Craftsman house, a 1960s apartment building and a recent pair of townhomes, each wired to the standards of its own decade.
Infinity Electrical offers panel and service upgrades, EV charger circuits, troubleshooting, rewiring, lighting and new circuits for houses, condos, townhomes, apartment buildings, shops and the city's mobilehome park, from the Galleria area to Riviera Village. We see the job first, and the price is in writing after that.

Redondo Beach mixes older single-family streets, decades of apartment and condo building, newer townhomes, a mobilehome park and a working industrial corridor, and each brings its own electrical questions.
Redondo Beach (ZIP codes 90277 and 90278) is its own city, so the city, not Los Angeles County, issues building and electrical permits here. The postal map does not line up with the city limits, though: part of west Torrance also uses 90277, a Redondo Beach postal address. A house with a Redondo Beach envelope may be inside Torrance, whose own building division issues the permit; we check the parcel before the estimate.
Permits. Inside the city, the Building & Safety Division of the Community Development Department issues electrical permits. Since its iWorQ Citizen Portal launched on March 31, 2025, the city takes applications, plans and related documents electronically through that portal, and over-the-counter permits such as many electrical permits are processed online there too; inspections are requested through the same portal. We coordinate the permit and the inspection as part of the job.
Power. Southern California Edison owns the lines, transformers and meters across Redondo Beach. When a June 2022 equipment failure cut power to about 5,100 customers in southern Redondo, including the pier, Harbor Drive and Portofino Way, it was an SCE outage. Redondo Beach is also a member of Clean Power Alliance, the community choice energy provider for much of Los Angeles and Ventura counties, so unless a customer has opted out, CPA buys the electricity and SCE delivers it. That changes the generation line on the bill, not who you call about the meter or the service drop.
When SCE is involved. Most repairs, lighting, new circuits and an EV charger that fits on the existing panel are a city permit and an inspection, with no SCE step. A panel or service upgrade is different: SCE takes requests for a panel upgrade or meter spot on an existing service through its online Building, Renovation and Project Planning Portal, and only SCE removes and resets its meter. SCE also encourages owners to consider alternatives to a bigger service, such as load management or more efficient equipment, and we look at those with you before recommending an upgrade.
Historic properties. Redondo Beach has a historic resources preservation ordinance and a Preservation Commission, and the city has designated a number of landmarks and historic districts. Separately, the Original Townsite Historic District, a group of older houses on and near Gertruda and Guadalupe avenues and Carnelian and Diamond streets, has been on the National Register since 1988. Under the city ordinance, altering an exterior feature of a city-designated landmark, or of a property in a city historic district that is contributing or visible from the street, needs a Certificate of Appropriateness, even when no other city permit is required. Ordinary repair that changes no design, material or appearance is not affected. National Register listing alone is not the same as city designation, so we check the house's status with the city before planning a new meter, panel or conduit on a street-facing wall, and keep that equipment off visible elevations where we can.
The permits and utilities guide explains the whole picture for the three counties we serve.
Every neighbour is a separate city, so the permit office changes at each city line. Torrance, to the east and south, issues permits through its own Building and Safety Division and is not a Clean Power Alliance member, so SCE is normally both supplier and utility there; part of west Torrance shares Redondo's 90277 ZIP. Hermosa Beach, to the north, has its own Building and Safety Division and, like Manhattan Beach beyond it, is a Clean Power Alliance member. Lawndale, to the northeast, runs its own permit center and is not a CPA member. Palos Verdes Estates, to the south, is not a CPA member either, and Rancho Palos Verdes lies beyond it on the peninsula.

Torrance does, because the permit follows the city limits, not the ZIP code, and part of west Torrance shares Redondo's 90277 ZIP. For a parcel that is inside Redondo Beach, the city's Building & Safety Division issues electrical permits through its online iWorQ Citizen Portal, where inspections are requested too. Confirming which city the parcel is in is one of the first things we do before the estimate.
No, because Clean Power Alliance only supplies the electricity, while Southern California Edison still owns the meter, the service drop and the lines. A panel or service upgrade goes through SCE's panel upgrade request and meter set, plus the city permit and inspection, whichever supplier is on the bill. CPA membership matters when you compare rates, for example for EV charging.
Yes, but exterior changes need planning first: under the city's preservation ordinance, altering an exterior feature of a designated landmark, or of a district property that is contributing or visible from the street, requires a Certificate of Appropriateness, even when no other permit is needed. Repairs that change no design, material or appearance are not affected, and the ordinance reaches interior work only where interior features were identified as contributing at designation. We place new equipment away from street-facing walls where we can, and confirm with the city before moving a meter or panel on a visible elevation.
It depends on where the problem is, because the park usually owns the distribution up to each space, while the home's own panel and wiring belong to the owner. The housing element describes it as the city's only remaining mobilehome park, under its own zoning designation. We confirm the ownership split with park management, then quote the part that is yours. See mobilehome electrical work.
It does: close to the water, screws, joints between different metals and outdoor boxes corrode sooner, so meter enclosures, weatherproof covers and exterior fixtures wear out faster on South Redondo's waterfront blocks. Rust or a white crust on a cover is the sign to call us; leave the panel and the SCE meter closed, and we inspect the connections and fit parts rated for coastal exposure. See repairs.
Often yes, but it starts with two checks: whether the unit's panel and service have room for the charger, and whether the HOA approves the circuit route in the shared garage. Over two-thirds of Redondo's homes were built before 1980, when services were sized for far fewer appliances, so we do a load calculation before anything is bought; if the charger fits, the job is a city permit and an inspection, with no SCE step.
