Electrician in Anaheim Hills, CA
Residential and Commercial Electrician Services
Serving homeowners and businesses throughout Anaheim Hills, All Thingz Electric brings reliable, professional electrical services backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Anaheim Hills homes run larger than most of Orange County, custom builds and estates from the 1970s and 1980s on generous lots, and that scale means bigger electrical loads: pools and spas, home theaters, multiple HVAC zones, and now EV chargers stacked onto service equipment that was sized for a different era. Whether you’re near Peralta Hills, Stonegate, or one of the newer communities off Nohl Ranch Road, All Thingz Electric brings the panel and EV charging expertise these homes actually need.

C-10 Licensed Contractor
Anaheim Hills' Trusted Electrical Contractor
All Thingz Electric works throughout Anaheim Hills because the work here rewards a contractor who understands what these homes actually need. Custom homes and estates built from the 1970s through the 1990s came with original service that was generous for its era, typically 100 to 150 amps, but a generation of pools, spas, home theaters and now EV chargers has caught up with a lot of that capacity. We run the load calculation before we recommend anything, so you know whether your panel actually needs to grow or just needs a dedicated circuit.
We also plan for what makes Anaheim Hills different from the flatlands below it. The hillside terrain means underground circuit runs for detached garages, workshops and ADUs often involve longer trenching and more careful routing than a flat lot requires. Canyon-adjacent properties near Gypsum Canyon and Weir Canyon also deal with wind-driven power interruptions more than most of the city, which is why backup generator work is a regular part of what we do out here.
About Anaheim Hills, CA
Anaheim Hills is the hillside community in the eastern third of the city of Anaheim, built out largely as a single master-planned development. Rancher Louis Nohl sold the land in 1970, and what followed was one of Orange County’s largest planned communities: roughly 7,000 custom homes, estates, townhomes and condominiums spread across low-density tracts, laid out around hiking trails and the Anaheim Hills Golf Club. Construction ran heavily through the 1970s and 1980s, and citywide, Anaheim’s own housing data shows 1970 to 1979 as the decade that produced the largest share of its housing stock, with roughly two-thirds of all homes in the city built before 1980. Anaheim Hills sits squarely inside that build-out window, which means a large share of its housing stock is now 45 to 55 years old, old enough that original service equipment and circuit capacity are starting to show their age even in homes that were well-built to start.
The community spans dozens of individually named tracts: Peralta Hills and Mohler Loop near the older, western edge; Nohl Crest, Stonegate Hills and Canyon Rim through the center; and newer construction toward Hidden Canyon Estates and the communities off Santa Ana Canyon Road. Lot sizes run well above the Orange County average, and it shows in the service work we get called for: detached garages, workshops, pools, and increasingly ADUs, all of which need their own properly sized subpanel rather than an overloaded tap off the main panel.
The hills also come with wildfire exposure that flatland Anaheim does not deal with the same way. The Canyon Fire 2 burned through the Gypsum Canyon Road area in October 2017, destroying 25 structures and forcing evacuations across Anaheim Hills, Orange and Tustin. Power interruptions during Santa Ana wind events are common in the canyons, and it’s a large part of why whole-home backup generators and properly installed automatic transfer switches are a regular request from homeowners out here, not a luxury add-on.
Anaheim Hills is served by Anaheim Public Utilities, the city’s own municipal electric utility, rather than Southern California Edison, which covers most of the surrounding cities we work in. That matters for anything that touches the meter: service upgrades, panel replacements above a certain size, and new service for a detached structure all get coordinated through Anaheim Public Utilities rather than Edison, and the process and lead times are different. We handle that coordination as part of every job that requires it.
Our Electrical Services in Anaheim Hills, CA
All Thingz Electric offers comprehensive electrical solutions built around what Anaheim Hills properties actually need: larger service, higher-capacity EV circuits, and hillside-aware installation. Every service reflects years of hands-on experience solving real challenges for real property owners in this community.
Residential Electrical Services
Your home's electrical system carries more in Anaheim Hills than it does in most of the city. Pools, spas, home theaters, multiple HVAC zones and EV chargers are the rule here, not the exception. We handle everything from single-circuit additions to full panel upgrades sized for how these homes are actually used.
Electrical Emergencies and Issues
Burning smells, arcing outlets, dead circuits and wind-event power loss are not repairs that can wait, and Anaheim Hills sees more of the last one than most of the city because of its canyon exposure. We treat them as priority calls and tell you honestly the soonest we can be there.
Lighting Services
Large lots and hillside views change what lighting design needs to do. In Anaheim Hills that means landscape and pathway lighting across bigger yards, security lighting on canyon-facing lots, and interior upgrades in homes built before layered lighting was standard.
Commercial Electrical Services
Anaheim Hills' commercial footprint is smaller than the flatlands but steady: retail along Nohl Ranch Road and Santa Ana Canyon Road, medical and professional offices, and tenant spaces at the Festival at Anaheim Hills. We handle buildouts, service upgrades and code corrections without shutting a tenant down for a week.
Specific Services We Provide in Anaheim Hills
Electrical Panel Upgrades for Larger Homes
This is the job Anaheim Hills sends us the most. Custom homes and estates built through the 1970s and 1980s typically shipped with 100 to 150-amp service, generous for the era but not for a house now running central air, a spa, a home theater and a Level 2 EV charger at the same time. We run a full load calculation, confirm what the existing service can actually carry, and upgrade to 200-amp or larger service with a properly bonded and grounded panel, correct breaker types, and AFCI and GFCI protection where the code requires it. Anaheim Hills is served by Anaheim Public Utilities rather than Southern California Edison, and we handle that coordination, meter work and inspection scheduling as part of the job.
EV Charger Installation and Circuit Sizing
Anaheim Hills has some of the highest EV adoption in the city, and a lot of garages here already have two or three vehicles to charge. A single 40 or 48-amp Level 2 circuit is often not enough once a second charger gets added, so we run the load calculation for the whole property, not just the one circuit you called about, and size the panel and wiring so a second charger later doesn’t mean redoing the first job. We pull the permit through the City of Anaheim and coordinate any required service work with Anaheim Public Utilities.
Whole-Home Generators and Automatic Transfer Switches
Wind-driven power interruptions are more common in the canyons than in flatland Anaheim, and the Canyon Fire 2 in October 2017 is a reminder of how exposed the hillside terrain can be. We install whole-home standby generators, natural gas or propane, with automatic transfer switches, permitting and full load testing, sized to carry the loads a larger home actually runs rather than a token backup circuit.
ADU, Workshop and Detached Garage Subpanels
Big lots mean detached structures, and detached structures need their own properly sized subpanel rather than an extension cord run across the yard. We handle ADU electrical from load calculation through permit filing and final inspection, and we do the same for workshop and garage subpanels, sized for power tools, mini-split HVAC or a second EV charger, not just a couple of outlets.
Hazardous and Obsolete Panel Replacement
The oldest tracts in Anaheim Hills, built in the early 1970s around Peralta Hills and Mohler Loop, occasionally still carry Federal Pacific Stab-Lok or Zinsco panels from that first wave of construction. These panels fail in a specific way: the breaker looks tripped but the bus stays energized, which is how a fault turns into a fire. We identify the panel, document its condition, and replace it with modern service equipment sized for how the home is used today. Start with our pages on Federal Pacific panel replacement and Zinsco panel replacement if you’ve found either brand on your service.
Smart Home and Home Theater Electrical
Larger homes mean more integrated systems, and we wire for Lutron lighting control, motorized shades, multi-zone audio, home theaters and networked smart panels, planning the low-voltage rough-in so the finished house behaves the way you expect on day one rather than as a collection of separately installed gadgets.
Landscape and Outdoor Electrical for Large Lots
Anaheim Hills lots run well above the Orange County average, and outdoor electrical here covers more ground, literally: landscape and pathway lighting, security lighting on canyon-facing slopes, and buried circuits run to detached structures. We use weather-rated enclosures, GFCI protection, and wiring methods suited to hillside terrain and the wind exposure that comes with it.
Pool, Spa and Outdoor Kitchen Circuits
Pools, spas and outdoor kitchens are common on Anaheim Hills’ larger lots, and each needs its own properly bonded, GFCI-protected circuit sized for the equipment, not a shared circuit borrowed from somewhere else in the house. We handle new installations and bring older pool and spa equipment up to current code.
Kitchen and Bathroom Remodel Electrical
Remodels in original-construction Anaheim Hills homes often surface a service that was never sized for a modern kitchen: no dedicated small-appliance circuits, no GFCI or AFCI protection, and a panel that’s already near capacity before the new range and induction cooktop go in. We bring the affected circuits up to current code as part of the remodel.
Commercial Tenant Improvements
We complete electrical buildouts for retail and restaurant space along Nohl Ranch Road and Santa Ana Canyon Road, medical and professional offices, and tenant spaces at the Festival at Anaheim Hills, coordinating with landlords, general contractors and city inspectors throughout.
Electrical Troubleshooting and Diagnostics
Intermittent trips, dead outlets, flickering lights and voltage fluctuations are frustrating and frequently misdiagnosed. We trace the fault to its actual source instead of replacing parts and hoping, then repair it and document what we found.
Electrical Code Compliance and Safety Inspections
Buying, selling, insuring or permitting an Anaheim Hills property often surfaces electrical deficiencies. We inspect, document and correct them: grounding and bonding, GFCI and AFCI protection, smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, junction box access, and overall panel condition.

Navigating Anaheim Hills’ Permitting Process
The City of Anaheim requires a permit for panel replacements, service upgrades, new circuit installations, EV charger installations, generator and transfer switch installations, and most rewiring work. We confirm the exact requirement with the city’s Building Division before scheduling, prepare and submit the application to City Hall at 200 S. Anaheim Blvd, and coordinate directly with Anaheim inspectors so the project closes cleanly. Anaheim also follows the state’s expedited permitting process for EV charging stations under AB 1236 and AB 970.
Hillside and canyon properties carry extra planning. Anaheim Hills sits in the wildland-adjacent eastern edge of the city near Gypsum Canyon and Weir Canyon, terrain that burned in the Canyon Fire 2 in October 2017. That kind of exposure affects equipment location, wiring methods and clearances for outdoor work, generators and service equipment on canyon-facing lots, and it’s worth confirming before the work is scheduled rather than after.
Service changes add a third party here that most of the cities we serve don’t have. Anaheim Hills is served by Anaheim Public Utilities, the city’s own municipal electric utility, rather than Southern California Edison, so meter releases, service upgrades and disconnect scheduling all run through Anaheim Public Utilities on their own timeline. We manage all of it on your behalf: permit applications, documentation, inspection scheduling, and utility coordination, so your project moves without avoidable delays.
Questions Anaheim Hills Property Owners Ask
My house is a large custom build from the 1970s or 1980s. Is the original panel enough for an EV charger?
Often not, and it usually comes down to what else the panel is already carrying. A house from that era with a pool, a spa, central air and a home theater can be close to capacity before an EV charger circuit is added. We run a full load calculation on the property, not just the new circuit, so you know whether the existing service can take it or whether an upgrade to 200-amp or larger service makes more sense before you commit to a charger.
Can my panel handle two EV chargers?
It depends on the service size and everything else on the panel. Many Anaheim Hills garages are adding a second vehicle faster than the electrical system was planned for. We size the load calculation for two chargers even if you’re only installing one now, so the first job doesn’t have to be redone when the second car arrives.
I want a subpanel for my ADU or workshop. What does that involve?
It starts with a load calculation on your main panel to confirm it has capacity to feed a subpanel. If it does, we run a dedicated feeder, install a properly sized subpanel, and wire the circuits the space actually needs, kitchen appliances and HVAC for an ADU, or power tools and lighting for a workshop. If the main panel is already maxed out, we upgrade it first. Hillside lots often mean a longer trench run than a flat property, which we plan for in the estimate rather than as a surprise change order.
Does the City of Anaheim require a permit for a whole-home generator?
Yes. Generator and transfer switch installations require a permit through the City of Anaheim’s Building Division, and because Anaheim Hills is served by Anaheim Public Utilities rather than Southern California Edison, any related service work is coordinated through Anaheim Public Utilities on their own timeline. We handle both the permit and the utility coordination as part of the installation.
How does service work differ in Anaheim Hills compared to the rest of Anaheim?
The biggest difference is the utility. Most of the surrounding cities we work in are Southern California Edison territory, but all of Anaheim, including Anaheim Hills, is served by the city’s own utility, Anaheim Public Utilities. Meter releases, service upgrades and disconnect scheduling all run through Anaheim Public Utilities rather than Edison, and we manage that coordination directly.
What electrical problems need immediate attention?
Call us right away if you notice burning smells, sparking or arcing at outlets or panels, hot or discolored outlets and switch plates, breakers that trip repeatedly, or a partial loss of power after a wind event. These are signs of a fault that is actively generating heat, and they shouldn’t wait for a scheduled appointment.
Our Electrical Service Process
Step 1: Initial Contact and Scheduling Call us at (949) 799-2034 or submit a service request online. We’ll discuss your electrical needs, determine urgency, and schedule an appointment that works with your calendar. Tell us if the problem is urgent and we will book you into the soonest slot we have.
Step 2: On-Site Assessment Our licensed electrician arrives at the scheduled time, and we’ll call ahead when we’re on the way. We thoroughly assess your electrical situation, discuss your concerns, and identify all relevant issues, not only the presenting problem. In a larger Anaheim Hills home, that assessment includes a look at panel capacity against actual load, meter condition, grounding and bonding, and any City of Anaheim and Anaheim Public Utilities requirements before we quote.
Step 3: Detailed Explanation and Estimate We explain what we found, why it’s occurring, and what a proper solution requires. You receive a detailed written estimate covering labor, materials, permit costs, and any other charges. We answer all questions before any work begins.
Step 4: Professional Installation Once you approve the estimate, we complete your electrical work efficiently and correctly. We maintain clean work areas, communicate throughout the project, and minimize disruption to your routine and your property’s finishes.
Step 5: Testing and Verification Before we consider any project complete, we thoroughly test all work, verifying proper operation, code compliance, and that everything functions exactly as intended.
Step 6: Final Walkthrough and Documentation We walk you through the completed work, explain any new components or systems, provide documentation for your records, and make sure you are fully satisfied. We clean up thoroughly, so the only evidence we were there is your improved electrical system.
