"I asked Community Electric to check out our electric service panel and advise us about upgrading it. Harut looked at the system and explained what was involved in simply replacing the panel with a new 100amp panel and upgrading it to handle more circuits. He pointed out several factors we never considered. He also gave me ballpark estimates for each option that seemed very reasonable. I appreciated his honesty and clarity. While we ultimately decided not to do anything at the moment, I would not hesitate calling him to do any electrical work I may need in the future. Knowing a good electrician is invaluable when you need one and I met one today."

"Jeff and his crew did a great job upgrading the electrical panels at my 6-unit apartment building. The whole experience from start to finish has been exceptional and would highly recommend Cooper Electric for any of your electrical needs. Jeff's bid for the work was very competitive compared to the other bids I received. Jeff coordinated with SMUD and the City of Sacramento Inspection/Permit Department to complete the electrical panel upgrades, power shutdown and final inspection in just one day. Jeff was personally involved throughout the entire project and kept me informed on all ongoing activities."

"Wes did a whole house re-wire for me. He was very communicative and offered a variety of options and solutions for different complicated situations. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional throughout the whole project and I never got the feeling he was trying to upsell me like I’ve had in past experiences. I won’t use any other electrician and would recommend him 10/10 times."

"Our electrical panel was over 30 years old, and a power surge ensured that it was done. Luckily, Aaron got on the job, got the necessary permits and linked up with PG&E to get the replacement in quickly. He and Josh worked together to reduce the downtime and my power was back on in less than seven hours. Thanks for a job well done!"

"George gave great communication. At the end George and Christian upgraded my panel, installed a sub-panel for my generator, installed an EV charger and prepared my house to change my gas water heater to electric hybrid. His price was fair and he did everything to manage my rebate from SMUD my electric utility company. Highly recommend his work."

"I called Sparky Electric because I was getiing shocked by two kitchen appliances. Cristian said this was an emergeny and came over in two hours. A switch under the kitchen sink was shorting and made the appliances pluged in to become HOT. He repaired everything that was wrong. I believe he probably saved my life as I was that close to being electrocuted. Afterwards, he reviewed our complete setup on our older house. Our electrical panel was way outdated and we had no gfi outlets were water is. We replaced it all and the price was more than fair based on other estimates. Cristion and his brother were Pros and and got us up to code. Wife feels safe now. SMUD did all inspections and approved of everything. If I could ge them a 10 I would."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Antelope, CA

Yes, a licensed electrician is essential for this project. Running an electrical service from the road to your house involves connecting to utility power lines, complying with national and local electrical codes, and safely handling high-voltage systems. 

Licensed professionals understand proper wire sizing, grounding requirements, and voltage drop calculations needed for safe installation. Most jurisdictions require permits and inspections that only certified professionals can obtain. The safety risks and potential for property damage make this project inappropriate for DIY attempts.

Overhead installations are less expensive than underground options. For a 1000-foot run, overhead service costs between $8,000 and $15,000, while underground service ranges from $10,000 to $25,000. 

Overhead lines require less labor and fewer materials since they don't need trenching or conduit. However, underground lines offer better protection from weather events and aesthetic benefits. Your decision should balance your budget constraints with long-term reliability and visual preferences.

You might need to upgrade your electrical panel depending on your power requirements. If your existing panel cannot handle the additional load from the extended service, upgrading to a 200-amp service (costing $750 to $2,000) may be necessary. 

A licensed electrician can evaluate your current system and determine if an upgrade is required. Factors include what you'll be powering at the end of the line, existing electrical demand, and whether voltage drop over the distance will affect performance.

Running electric service from the road to a house requires electrical permits from your local building department, costing between $500 and $2,000 depending on your location. You may also need excavation permits for trenching work if installing an underground service. Your utility company will have its own application process for connecting to its grid. A licensed electrical contractor can handle all the necessary permit applications as part of their service, ensuring your installation meets all local code requirements.
