ADU Electrical Scope in Los Angeles
Sub-Panel Installations
The most common setup for a detached ADU sharing the main service.
Separate Meter Setups
For larger ADUs or where full electrical independence is preferred.
Main Service Upgrades
Some LA homes need a 100A-to-200A upgrade before the ADU’s subpanel can be added.
LADBS Permit Process, Citywide
LADBS ADU permit turnaround in Los Angeles is confirmed at roughly 1-4 weeks, with Express Permits available for qualifying simple subpanel scopes. We file the permit and coordinate inspection as part of the job, wherever in the city your ADU is.
Our Single Point of Management
Working with us means direct electrical contractor oversight from scope through final inspection, coordinating inspections and approvals directly with LADBS, handling utility line and main-service coordination where a service upgrade is needed, and giving you one point of contact for scope and code compliance questions, for you and your ADU builder.
A Recent Los Angeles ADU Project
An Echo Park hillside ADU needed a 100A main-service upgrade to 200A, plus a subpanel fed via underground conduit, to support an all-electric ADU kitchen. We handled the service upgrade, subpanel installation, and LADBS inspection coordination as one continuous scope.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the LADBS ADU permit process work?
Roughly 1-4 weeks as a confirmed estimate, with Express Permits available for qualifying simple subpanel scopes; more complex service-upgrade scopes take longer.
Do you coordinate directly with my ADU contractor?
Yes, we work directly with your builder so the electrical scope stays on the same timeline as the rest of the build.
Does every ADU need a main service upgrade?
No, many can run on a subpanel fed from the existing service; we’ll confirm what your specific home and ADU size actually require.
