ADU Construction in Pacoima with an All-Electric Kitchen
ADU construction in Pacoima with an induction kitchen and no gas line, a hood vented through a damped wall cap, tempered glass and LADBS-reviewed plans.
No open flame burns in the kitchen of a Pacoima ADU built around an induction cooktop, and the unit can skip a gas line across the yard entirely. The cooktop heats the pan through a magnetic field, so the glass surface stays cooler and a towel left nearby is far less likely to catch. That kitchen still has to turn out full meals on a short counter, with a sink, a fridge and a real oven.
A kitchen that works on one wall
Short steps between sink, cooktop and fridge make a compact kitchen usable, so we set the sink in the middle of a single line or an L. The range hood vents outdoors through a wall cap with a metal damper and fine mesh, since an open duct is another way for embers to get inside. Deep drawers beneath the counter store pots better than cabinet doors do, and a tall pantry cabinet at one end stores what the short run cannot. A dedicated circuit from the panel feeds the induction cooktop and oven.
Plan check and the panel
Dropping gas puts more load on the electrical service, so the plan includes a calculation for the main house panel and the unit's new circuits. If the existing panel lacks room, a larger service or a separate meter for the unit gets drawn in. LADBS checks that calculation with the rest of the set, since Pacoima falls under City of Los Angeles permitting. The walls take a plaster finish and the windows tempered glass, whatever the fire map says about the parcel.
ADU Construction in Pacoima: common questions
The state hazard map decides that for your Pacoima parcel, and we look it up before design. LADBS sets no wildfire requirement for a lot beyond those zones. An all-electric unit with plaster walls, metal-screened vents and tempered glass still makes a sturdier small building, and each of those items appears on its own line in the quote.
It includes the drawings a one-story unit within the size limit needs for its permit. For a Pacoima unit with no gas, the energy forms show the induction cooktop, a heat pump water heater and the heating system meeting the state energy code on electric equipment alone. Anything bigger is quoted separately.
Yes, when LADBS approves both sets of drawings and the lot can hold both jobs. Sizing the new electrical service once for the rebuilt house and the unit saves a second upgrade later. We can finish the unit ahead of the house, giving you a home on the property for the rest of the work.
