Fullerton’s Trusted Electrician | Powering the College Town & Heritage Homes
Whether we’re grabbing a coffee in Downtown Fullerton near Harbor and Chapman or working on a project near the Cal State Fullerton (CSUF) campus, we are proud to serve this vibrant, historic community. From the creative energy at the Muckenthaler Cultural Center to the busy nightlife of the SoCo District on Commonwealth Ave, Fullerton requires a delicate balance of modern power and heritage preservation.
At Image Electric, we’ve been keeping Fullerton powered since the days when Harbor Blvd was a lot quieter. We specialize in the specific needs of "The Education City."
The Fullerton Safety Alert: Outdated Panels & Insurance Risks
Fullerton’s beautiful residential tracts—particularly those built in the 1960s and 70s near Bastanchury and Brea Blvd—often contain a hidden danger: recalled Zinsco or Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) panels. In 2026, these are more than just "old" equipment; they are significant safety hazards.
- The Risk: These panels are notorious for failing to trip during a surge, leading to electrical fires.
- The Insurance Impact: Many California insurance providers now refuse to renew policies or cover fire claims for homes with these specific brands.
- The Solution: We provide Fullerton neighbors with fast, same-day panel inspections and transparent quotes for 200-amp upgrades that meet the latest 2026 Title 24 Energy Codes.
High-Capacity Living for Modern Fullerton
Fullerton’s mix of student housing and older family homes means electrical systems are often pushed to their limit. If your breakers trip every time the AC and the microwave run at once, your home is likely underpowered.
Led by Brian Bois (Lic #928244), our team helps homeowners transition to "Electric-Ready" status, including:
- 200-Amp Service Upgrades: Essential for adding EV chargers or high-efficiency heat pumps.
- SCE Electrification Credits: We help you navigate Southern California Edison programs that can offer up to $10,000 in infrastructure credits for eligible electrification projects.

Fullerton Electrical FAQ
Do I need a permit from the City of Fullerton for a panel upgrade?
Yes. The City of Fullerton Building & Safety division requires permits for all service changes and upgrades. This ensures the work is inspected for safety, which is vital for your home’s resale value and insurance compliance.
Are there rebates for EV charger installations in Fullerton?
Absolutely. Between federal tax credits and SCE’s "Charge Ready" residential programs, Fullerton homeowners can often offset a significant portion of the installation costs for Level 2 home charging stations.
