About
With 40 years of commercial and industrial electrical experience and more than $70 million in completed work across 12,000 closed jobs, Southwest Industrial Electric is one of Southern California's most seasoned electrical contractors. Serving Los Angeles, Orange County, Irvine, San Bernardino, and surrounding metros, the firm handles the full spectrum of power distribution, switchgear, panelboards, and breaker systems that facility managers and property owners depend on for uninterrupted operations. Their industrial focus sets them apart: Southwest Industrial Electric performs machine service and repair, industrial process automation, and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) integration — capabilities rarely found in a single electrical contractor. For building owners managing manufacturing facilities, warehouses, or mixed-use commercial properties, this translates into a single accountable vendor for both building electrical infrastructure and production-floor systems. Their EV charging installation services position clients ahead of California's accelerating electrification mandates, while battery energy storage system (BESS) work supports both energy resilience and utility demand management. Preventive maintenance programs and infrared thermographic inspections give facility managers a documented path to identifying failing connections, overloaded circuits, and thermal anomalies before they become costly outages. The team also holds expertise in electrical systems for hazardous locations — critical for clients operating in petrochemical, aerospace, or manufacturing environments subject to NEC Article 500 requirements. New construction, factory relocations, lighting control systems, and project design and engineering round out a service portfolio built for complex, multi-phase commercial engagements. The firm's client retention — many relationships spanning 10 to 25 years — reflects consistent on-time performance and code-compliant execution across office, retail, industrial, and institutional property types throughout the Greater Los Angeles basin.
