Electrical work in Glendale
Some of those homes still have Federal Pacific Stab-Lok or Zinsco panels, two-prong outlets that were swapped for three-prong ones without a ground, or aluminum branch wiring from the years around 1965 to 1973. None of that is unusual, and all of it is fixable, but it should be fixed with the right parts and a permit.
Around Historic Downtown Glendale and Catlin Court, the houses are older still, and some have been converted into shops and offices. That mix means residential and light commercial work on the same streets: updating old circuits, adding grounded outlets, and making sure a house that is now a business has the capacity and protection its new use requires. We schedule commercial work around business hours so shops can stay open.
North Glendale is newer. In Arrowhead Ranch, homes generally have more capacity, and the work leans toward EV chargers, pool and spa circuits, landscape lighting and panels that are ready for solar. Whether the job is in Catlin Court or Arrowhead Ranch, we pull City of Glendale permits for the work that needs one and coordinate with APS or SRP when the utility is involved.
Glendale has historic homes around Historic Downtown and Catlin Court, large areas of 1960s and 1970s tract homes in the central part of the city, and newer homes in Arrowhead Ranch to the north.

Questions from Glendale homeowners
My Glendale home was built in the 1970s. Should I worry about the panel?
It is worth checking. Some Glendale homes from that era have Federal Pacific Stab-Lok or Zinsco panels, which many inspectors and insurers flag because of breakers that may not trip. We look at the label and the breakers, show you photos, and tell you whether replacement is urgent or can be planned.
Do you work on older homes and businesses in Catlin Court?
Yes. We update wiring in older homes and handle light commercial work in houses that have been converted to shops and offices, scheduled around business hours. We pull the City of Glendale permit for work that needs one.
