Our New Construction Electrical Services in Manhattan Beach, CA

Our scope for new construction electrical in Manhattan Beach, CA covers power, lighting control, automation, and AV as one coordinated package:

• Design-build electrical for new and custom homes. We work from the architect's plans, run the load calculation, and engineer the rough-in so every circuit, keypad location, and low voltage pull is set before drywall.
• 200A and 400A service, Span smart panels, and subpanels. A build at this scale usually needs more than a standard service. We size it to the load calculation and specify where a 400A service or a Span smart panel earns its place.
• Lutron lighting control and motorized shades. We design the keypad layout, program each scene, and commission the shades so the lighting works the way the drawings intended.
• Control4 and Josh AI whole-home automation. We design, program, and support the system ourselves, including the rack and head end, rather than handing programming to a third party.
• Home theater, media rooms, and whole-home audio and video. Structured wiring at rough-in, rack build at the shop, calibration at trim-out.
• Generac standby power and EV charging. Whole-house automatic standby power with an automatic transfer switch, plus Level 2 chargers and Tesla Wall Connector installation, all planned into the service from day one.

Why Manhattan Beach, CA Homeowners Choose Us

We are the integrator-electrician: the one firm on the project that holds the C-10 license and programs the Control4 or Josh AI system. That matters on a new build because the line between line voltage and low voltage is where coordination usually breaks. When the same firm runs the load calculation, places the keypads, and writes the scenes, nothing falls between trades.

We sell whole systems and whole projects, new builds, full renovations, estate upgrades, and commercial build-outs. We work directly with specifiers, including architects, interior designers, GCs, and AV consultants, as well as the homeowner. Expect technical answers: the amperage, the brand, the model line, and what each decision makes possible.

The housing stock here sets the stakes. The typical Manhattan Beach home was built around 1970, per U.S. Census Bureau ACS estimates, so many projects are ground-up rebuilds of older lots. On those projects, the electrical and integration scope deserves engineering, not guesswork. Buzo Electric Co, owner Aaron Buzo, CSLB C-10 #1048529, bonded, with workers' comp.

New Construction Electrical Questions We Hear in Manhattan Beach, CA

Do I need a 400A service for a new custom home?

It depends on the load calculation, not the square footage alone. A home with electric heat pumps, two EV chargers, a theater, and standby power often exceeds what a 200A service carries. We run the calculation during design and size the service once, so you are not upgrading mid-build.

When should the integrator join the project?

Before framing. Keypad locations, shade pockets, rack placement, and the head end all affect the architectural drawings. Joining at design means the structured wiring and conduit paths go in at rough-in, where they cost the least and perform the best.

Can one firm handle both the electrical and the automation?

Yes, and that is the model we built the company around. We hold the C-10, pull the permit, wire the panels, and then program the Control4 or Josh AI system ourselves. One contract, one point of accountability, one firm answering for both the power and the scenes.

How does standby power fit into a new build?

We plan the Generac generator, the automatic transfer switch, and the panel layout together during design. On a new build we can dedicate circuits and place equipment cleanly instead of retrofitting around finished work. Pairing standby power with a Span smart panel adds circuit-level control over what stays on.
