Whether you’re restoring a Victorian craftsman near the Plaza or upgrading a radiant-heated Eichler in Fairhaven, Orange property owners trust All Thingz Electric to get it right.
All Thingz Electric has built an outstanding reputation across the City of Orange by consistently delivering what every property owner deserves: safety, transparency, and quality workmanship that lasts. We don’t push unnecessary upgrades, we don’t use cut-rate materials, and we don’t consider a job finished until you’re completely satisfied.
What sets us apart in Orange specifically? Our team understands the city’s genuinely unusual mix of property types which is a combination you won’t find anywhere else in Orange County. We’ve worked inside Victorian and Craftsman homes that predate World War I, mid-century Eichler tracts with radiant floor heating and original panel boxes, equestrian-zoned parcels in Orange Park Acres, and brand-new mixed-use developments along the West Katella corridor. That range of hands-on experience isn’t something you can replicate by swapping a city name into a template. It takes years of solving real electrical problems for real Orange property owners.
Our reputation is built on results. Over 250 five-star reviews from homeowners and business owners who’ve experienced the difference genuine expertise makes. Licensed, bonded, insured, and backed by warranties that stand behind every project.
Orange is a city full of history, character, and unique electrical challenges. Its historic Old Towne features homes with aging wiring systems that often can’t handle modern electrical demands like central AC, EV chargers, or smart home systems. Eichler neighborhoods in Fairhaven, Fairhills, and Fairmeadow present their own challenges, with radiant floor heating embedded in concrete slabs and original panels that require specialized upgrades.
Outside of these areas, Orange Park Acres brings semi-rural properties with barn circuits, workshop power, and outdoor electrical needs. Meanwhile, the city’s commercial and medical corridors demand precise, code-compliant electrical work for complex buildings, clinics, and offices.
This mix of historic, mid-century, rural, and commercial properties makes Orange truly unique. Our local expertise ensures every residential or commercial project is handled safely, efficiently, and reliably.
All Thingz Electric offers comprehensive electrical solutions tailored to the specific needs of Orange's residential and commercial properties. Every service reflects years of hands-on experience solving real challenges for real property owners in this community.
Your home's electrical system is the foundation of your safety, comfort, and daily routine, whether that home is a 1910 Craftsman two blocks from Orange Circle, a 1961 Eichler in Fairhaven, or a newer build in the Serrano or Belmont communities. We handle everything from single-outlet additions to complete rewiring projects.
Electrical emergencies don't wait for business hours, and neither do we. Our 24/7 emergency response team dispatches licensed electricians who quickly diagnose and resolve urgent situations, restoring safety and power when you need it most.
Great lighting shapes how you experience your home and property. In Orange, that means respecting the period character of historic homes, the clean lines of Eichler interiors, and the outdoor living expectations of larger Orange Park Acres parcels. We design and install interior and exterior lighting systems that balance aesthetics, functionality, and energy efficiency.
Business operations depend on reliable electrical infrastructure. Orange's commercial corridors from the boutiques and restaurants of Old Towne to the medical offices near CHOC to the retail tenants at the Outlets at Orange require electricians who deliver quality on tight timelines, satisfy code requirements, and support your operations from day one.
Electrical Panel Upgrades and Service Increases
Most homes in Orange’s older neighborhoods including the vast majority of properties in Old Towne, the Eichler tracts, and the El Modena area were built on 60 or 100-amp service panels designed for a simpler era. Eichler homes in particular are well-known for original Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels that pose real safety concerns and are no longer considered acceptable by modern code standards. We upgrade panels and increase service capacity to 200 or 400 amps to safely support today’s electrical loads, including EV chargers, air conditioning, and smart home systems.
Eichler Home Electrical Upgrades
This deserves its own section because Eichler homes in Orange require specialized knowledge. The radiant floor heating embedded in the concrete slab means traditional low-route wiring methods simply don’t apply. Circuit additions require attic and wall routing, and every panel or service upgrade must account for the original radiant system’s load characteristics. We’ve worked in the Fairhaven, Fairhills, and Fairmeadow tracts repeatedly and understand both the technical requirements and the city’s design standards for these protected properties.
Historic Home Rewiring
Old Towne Orange’s Victorian, Craftsman, and early California bungalow homes are among the most architecturally significant residential properties in the county. They’re also homes where aging wiring like knob-and-tube systems from the 1910s through 1940s, early aluminum wiring from the 1960s creates genuine fire hazards and capacity limitations. We specialize in whole-home rewiring that brings systems to current code with minimal disruption to original plaster, woodwork, and historic finishes. We also understand the City’s permitting requirements for historic property work and manage the process on your behalf.
EV Charger Installation
Orange residents are adopting electric vehicles at a rapid pace, and most of the city’s older homes like Eichlers and Old Towne properties especially were never wired for Level 2 charging. We install 240-volt EV charging circuits with full load calculations, panel capacity assessments, proper permitting through the City of Orange’s Building and Safety Division, and code-compliant workmanship built to last.
Backup Generator Systems
Orange County’s grid has become increasingly vulnerable to both weather-related outages and Public Safety Power Shutoff events. Medical equipment users, home offices, and businesses near the hospital corridor especially cannot afford unexpected power loss. We install whole-home and commercial standby generators with automatic transfer switches, fuel connections, permitting, and full commissioning testing.
Commercial Tenant Improvements
Orange’s growing commercial corridors require electricians who deliver quality on realistic timelines. We complete electrical buildouts for medical offices, retail spaces, restaurants, and specialized commercial applications managing permits through the City of Orange’s online portal, coordinating with general contractors, and meeting inspection deadlines without shortcuts. Our familiarity with the city’s inspection staff and plan check process means fewer delays and fewer surprises.
Kitchen and Bathroom Electrical
Remodels in Orange’s older homes require careful planning. Historic homes often have undersized service feeding the kitchen area, requiring panel upgrades alongside remodel work. Eichlers present their own challenges with radiant slab systems and original plumbing walls that require creative circuit routing. We handle it all: dedicated appliance circuits, GFCI-protected countertop outlets, ventilation wiring, range and microwave circuits, all properly permitted and inspected.
Smart Home Electrical Systems
Orange homeowners increasingly want homes that operate intelligently. We install integrated Lutron Ra3 and similar smart lighting controls, whole-home automation systems, smart thermostats, and security system wiring, all designed to function seamlessly together. We approach smart home integration thoughtfully in historic and architecturally significant homes, preserving original character while adding modern capability.
Landscape and Outdoor Electrical
Orange Park Acres properties and larger lots throughout the city often require substantial outdoor electrical work: barn circuits, stable lighting, workshop power, pump systems, outdoor kitchen circuits, and weatherproof receptacles for agricultural and recreational use. We understand underground wiring requirements, wet-rated enclosures, and the specific needs of properties where livestock and heavy outdoor use are part of daily life.
Electrical Troubleshooting and Diagnostics
Intermittent trips, unpredictable outlets, voltage fluctuations, these problems are frustrating and potentially dangerous. We systematically identify root causes and implement permanent solutions rather than surface-level fixes that leave underlying hazards unresolved.
Electrical Code Compliance and Safety Inspections
Properties with code violations need expert remediation. We correct electrical deficiencies, update systems to current California standards, prepare homes for pre-sale inspections, and provide comprehensive safety evaluations. For Orange’s significant stock of older and historic properties, this service is especially valuable when buying, selling, or refinancing.

The City of Orange operates its own Building and Safety Division and requires permits for panel upgrades, service changes, new circuits, EV charger installations, generator installations, and commercial buildouts. The city recently launched an expanded online permitting portal to streamline the process, and most residential projects can now be initiated digitally though work on historic properties, including anything in Old Towne and the designated Eichler districts, involves additional review steps through the Community Development Department.
Projects on properties within the Old Towne National Register Historic District that affect the exterior or visible components may require coordination with the city’s Historic Preservation Planner. Work within the Fairhaven, Fairhills, or Fairmeadow Eichler districts that affects the exterior must comply with the Orange Eichler Design Standards.
We manage all of this on your behalf. We prepare permit applications, submit documentation, schedule city inspections, and coordinate directly with inspectors to ensure full compliance on the first pass. Proper permitting protects your safety, your legal standing, and your property’s insurability, and in a city where so many homes carry historic or architectural significance, it protects your investment value as well.
Almost certainly not. Eichler homes in Orange were built in the late 1950s and early 1960s, and many still have their original Federal Pacific Stab-Lok or Zinsco panels which are brands that have been widely documented as prone to breaker failure and fire risk, and that most insurance carriers now flag or refuse to cover. Beyond the panel itself, 60-year-old 100-amp service cannot safely power modern loads: central air, EV charging, multiple large appliances, and home offices together can easily exceed original design capacity. We assess your Eichler’s current and projected load, recommend the appropriate service upgrade, and handle all routing within the home’s unique structural constraints.
Yes, and protecting original finishes is something we take seriously. In historic homes, we plan circuit routes carefully, using existing cavities, attic access, and strategically placed junction points to minimize the need for new penetrations. When new openings are unavoidable, we work cleanly and can coordinate with your preferred finish contractor. We also understand which work in Old Towne requires historic review and what documentation the city expects, that knowledge prevents costly delays.
Yes. We manage all permitting and inspection requirements for projects in Orange, including panel upgrades, service changes, new circuits, generator installations, and commercial buildouts. We’re familiar with the city’s online portal, the additional review process for historic district projects, and the Eichler Design Standards that apply in the designated tract neighborhoods. We prepare permit applications, submit documentation, schedule city inspections, and coordinate directly with inspectors to ensure full compliance.
Call us immediately if you notice burning smells, sparking or arcing at outlets or panels, hot or discolored switch plates, circuit breakers that trip repeatedly, smoke, any sign of water damage to electrical components, or unusual buzzing or crackling sounds. These are indicators of potentially serious hazards. Our emergency electricians are available around the clock.
A simple repair or outlet replacement typically takes one to two hours. Adding a circuit or installing a ceiling fan runs two to four hours. EV charger installations generally take four to eight hours, while panel upgrades average six to ten hours. Whole-home rewiring projects in an Eichler or historic home can span multiple days given the routing complexity. We provide accurate timeline estimates upfront and keep you informed throughout.
Step 1: Initial Contact and Scheduling Call us at (949) 418-6152 or submit a service request online. We’ll discuss your electrical needs, determine urgency, and schedule an appointment that works with your calendar. For emergencies, we dispatch electricians immediately.
Step 2: On-Site Assessment Our licensed electrician arrives at the scheduled time, 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 just the presenting problem. In an Eichler or historic home, that assessment includes a look at original wiring, panel condition, and any city review 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 ensure you’re fully satisfied. We clean up thoroughly, the only evidence we were there is your improved electrical system.
