What Areas do you service?
Do you offer a warranty for the work performed?
At Penna Electric, we do offer a limited warranty on the work performed. We cover most repairs if any malfunctions occur when the job is finished. Our warranty is detailed in your contract. If you are under warranty, then any problems that happen after the job will be repaired without additional costs. Some restrictions may apply. We encourage you to read and review your warranty before signing any contract with us.
Can I provide you with my own electrical materials?
If you already have the materials needed to perform the work needed, we can use the materials you provide us. However, we do not offer a materials list. Each of our trucks contain all the electrical components we need to get the job done. The cost of the materials are included in the price quoted but not broken down by line item because each job site varies.
How much does it cost to upgrade an electrical panel?
To learn more about the cost associated with an electrical panel replacement and installation, we encourage you to contact us.

Who will perform the work on my project?
As you may already know, when you hire a general contractor to perform electrical work, it is common knowledge that they only manage your project and hire sub-contractors to do the work. At Penna Electric, we have 6 electricians on staff. We do not sub out any electrical work to anyone else.
How long have you been in business?
Penna Electric, Inc. is locally owned and operated by Todd Penna who was born and raised in the San Fernando Valley. Todd completed his first ‘paid electrical job’ as an apprentice when he was just 18 years old and went on to study Electrical Theory and Contracting at El Camino College and Los Angeles Tech.
Todd became an Electrician in the 1980’s working up through the ranks to become an electrical contractor. He established Penna Electric in 2007. In Todd’s words, “The reason Penna Electric exists is because over the years I saw opportunities to better serve my customers and felt more could be done to ensure complete customer satisfaction. For example, providing fair and accurate quotes, real explanations of problems and solutions for customers, and timely service are keys to exceptional service that I wanted to incorporate into a business of my own.”
