"Matt did an excellent job rewiring my 1900+ square foot home built in 1956. They switched out my panel from the old fuse type to a new panel box. Upgraded the main panel box with a larger amp to handle the upgrade. They were extremely professional polite and always on time. Matt was great about communicating with me the process and needs for the house. I will be hiring MB Electric to do additional electrical work for the installation of a whole house fan. I highly recommend Matt and Abel."

"The owner Jeff reacted promptly, was extremely courteous and flexible. We decided on a time and materials formula for pricing. Pricing was fair but not cheap. Work was done timely and professionally. Will keep his number handy for future projects!"

"The owner responded quickly and came to our home for a free estimate within hours. He recommended installing a new outlet to prevent electrical issues down the road. The job was completed within 72hrs (due to the weekend) and we were very happy with the work. I would highly recommend and will use them again for future needs."

"They came and fixed an electrical mess someone else created which had actually started to burn things out. They corrected the bad wiring to the travel trailer, added an appropriate outlet to our house and cleaned up the mickey mouse job that had been done in our breaker box. They also looked at something in the travel trailer and told us how to fix it. Just amazing how much he went out of his way to correct the electrical problem and help us by advising us on some other concerns. Excellent, excellent, excellent!! Highly recommend Jantz Electric to everyone without reservations of any kind."

"Luis & Carlos they are awesome! They are efficient in there work, worked well as a team. Upgraded the electrical through out the whole house. Installed new plug-ins, light switches, fans in all our rooms. Installed several round ceiling lights in the kitchen, living-room and bedrooms, lights dim low, and high, gives living space elegance. Wall lamps outside back and front. Camera?s & sensor lights. For our dogs installed a pole/lights, unground electrical to the pole, got switches to turn off & on from the inside of the house. We had a problem through out the years where our lights would flicker, they got the PG&E to come out urgently to work in the electrical that goes to our house roof to the street poles. That was a plus, could?ve been hazardous to our home. We have a four bedroom home and two half bath. Took about two months but it was worth it all through the mess, lol. Enjoyed every moment having them, friendly, easy to talk to. Love them?. You won?t regret"

"Brent was amazing from start to finish. Anyone who has been involved in construction knows that changes happen and timelines don’t always go as planned. Brent went above and beyond by coming out on a Sunday when another contractor encountered an issue and we needed electrical work completed. He did whatever was necessary to help, and the customer’s needs were always his top priority. Brent with Farmers Electric will be our go-to electrician moving forward. Highly recommended!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Atwater, 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.
