Homes and wiring in Pasadena
Pasadena is known for its craftsman bungalows, especially in Bungalow Heaven and Madison Heights, along with 1920s Spanish and Mediterranean homes. The January 2025 Eaton Fire destroyed thousands of homes, mostly in neighboring Altadena, and rebuilding and fire safety are now part of local electrical work.
Many homes have original or patched wiring and small services. Electrification projects and rebuilding after the fire both bring panel and service upgrades.
Weather, seasons and the utility
Pasadena summers are hot and dry, and fall and winter bring Santa Ana winds that raise wildfire risk along the San Gabriel foothills. In January 2025, the Eaton Fire, driven by extreme winds, destroyed thousands of homes, most of them in unincorporated Altadena just north of Pasadena, with damage reaching some Pasadena neighborhoods too. Pasadena Water and Power, a city-owned utility, provides electricity in Pasadena and handles meters, service upgrades and solar interconnection, while Altadena is served by Southern California Edison. Earthquakes are another local hazard.
Local issues electricians see
