About
An owner-operated electrical company on West Jefferson Boulevard
Guardian Certified Electrician has worked out of the same part of Los Angeles since 2000. Nathan Coleman still runs the company and still goes out on calls.
How the company works
We are small on purpose. A short roster means the person who scopes your job is usually the person who performs it, and nothing gets lost between a salesperson and a crew. It also means we turn down work that is outside electrical or outside a reasonable drive.
Most of what we see comes from the age of the housing around us. A lot of the homes between Jefferson and Adams were built before residential electrical demand looked anything like it does now. Two-prong receptacles, 60- and 100-amp services, ungrounded branch circuits and cloth-insulated conductors are ordinary here, and so is the request to add a heat pump, a charger and a remodeled kitchen to a panel that was never sized for them.
Licensing and permits
We operate as a california licensed c-10 electrical contractor. In California, electrical contracting is regulated by the Contractors State License Board, and the C-10 classification is the one that covers full-scope electrical work. Permitting and inspection happen locally: through Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety inside the city, and through the relevant city building department in places like Culver City and Inglewood. When a job needs a permit, we pull it under our own license rather than asking the homeowner to do it.
Availability
Electrical failures do not keep business hours. Ours is a 24-hour operation, 7 days a week, and calls to (213) 584-4180 are answered rather than queued for the next morning.
What we do not do
We do not sell whole-home surge protection you do not need, we do not quote a panel replacement before looking at the panel, and we do not take on plumbing, HVAC or roofing. When a job needs another trade, we say so.
