We discuss the new County of Los Angeles 82-degree Fahrenheit indoor cooling mandate and what you need to do to prepare your building for handling the added electrical load requirements. But this new mandate does not just impact unincorporated parts of Los Angeles County, but the City of Los Angeles and even the State of California are now considering imposing similar mandates. More jurisdictions in Southern California may also follow suit by adopting maximum indoor air temperature requirements.

In addition, we will discuss how insurance requirements for aging electrical panels could impact your property and your bottom line. Learn what insurers are now demanding, how to avoid costly premium hikes, and practical steps to upgrade or maintain your electrical systems cost-effectively. Don’t miss this opportunity to get actionable strategies to protect your property, reduce expenses, and stay compliant with changing insurance standards. Many condominium and apartment property management companies have already received notices to replace recalled sub-panels with more modern ones. This trend is very likely to continue.
