"This past winter we came to terms that our home needed an expensive upgrade. Electrical panels. My husband and I shopped around, like most we wanted quality at a great price. Sergio was very upfront with us, as a busy working family thats very important. During our consultation visit he was very patient with all of our questions. Also gave us good ideas for future upgrades. Home improvement are typically stressful, so having a patient and understanding professional helps the process so much easier."

"Excellence Electric is just that: excellent on every level. They did a panel upgrade and install of a level 2 electric car charger. The company is family owned (father and son). They did a tremendous job at a very good price. Their attention to detail and workmanship was remarkable. They had to run conduit up the back of my house. They matched the paint at Home Depot that perfectly blended with our house color. Such personable, honest people. Ray jr. told me as he was walking from the job: any problems, or concerns, we’ll take care of it no questions asked. I could not more highly recommend!"

"Excellent work and follow up. My ordered cabinets were a challenge but Paul made them work as best they would. My kitchen is odd shaped He and his crew were always on time or would let me know if they were going to be later. They were all courteous and made sure I was pleased with their work. Paul works with his crew and they respect him and follow his instructions without doubt. The kitchen was the biggest project he's done for me, he also remodeled both my bathrooms, ran electric to my work huts, etc..."

"Van Sant Electrical added a 240-volt circuit and wiring through our attic for our new backyard spa. We couldn't be happier with the result! The owner, Austin Van Sant, showed up on time for an estimate and answered all our questions and concerns. He and his team came to our home the next day and completed the work on schedule with a "can-do" attitude. When the work was near completion, they had us fill the spa with water and then tested all of the spa equipment and connections. And they made sure we knew how to operate the breakers and outlets safely. Their work got an A+ from the City's permit inspector. Like all home improvement projects, this one had unexpected challenges, including additional requests from my wife to replace a broken outdoor socket and add a 110-volt outlet next to the spa panel. They were able to expertly deal with every one of them, sometimes quite creatively. All the external conduits were painted to match our house stucco. When they finished the job, everything fit together neatly and looked professionally done - - - this was important to us and much appreciated. We are extremely glad we found this local company and chose them to make our spa dream come true! We will certainly use Van Sant Electrical again for any future electrical project!"

"I was extremely satisfied with Verengo Solar. It has cut my electrical bill way, way, way down. I've worked with a lot of contractors and they were extremely professional. They put in a lot of panels and they're not on the roof, so they had all sorts of installation problems. They had to run the lines up a hill, through my backyard into the electrical panel on the house. It was a tough installation. My out of pocket electrical expenses has gone from $2,500 a month before I got the panels installed and $900 a month."

"The overall experience was good. Even though our roof is quirky and we have parts that are shaded, they were able to angle panels in different areas to get the maximum sun exposure. There was one glitch...the system wasn't working when we first turned it on upon approval from the electric company but once I contacted them they were quick to come out. The problem was a switch that hadn't pushed on properly and was an easy fix. We felt like they worked very hard to get the system in for us quickly and were polite and professional throughout the experience."

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

While homeowners with substantial electrical knowledge might technically attempt a subpanel installation, most local building departments require permits and inspections for this type of work. Professional electricians understand local code requirements, can obtain necessary permits, and ensure the installation meets safety standards. Given the significant safety risks associated with incorrect electrical work, most homeowners benefit from hiring a licensed professional.

A standard subpanel installation takes an average of four to eight hours. This timeframe may extend if you're installing multiple subpanels or adding specialized circuits like those for spa equipment. Factors such as difficult access points, complex wiring paths, or permit processing times can also affect the overall project duration.

Adding a subpanel doesn't directly reduce electricity consumption or lower your utility bills. A subpanel simply redistributes power from your main panel to additional circuits. However, organizing your electrical system more efficiently may help prevent overloaded circuits and the associated problems. For actual cost savings, consider energy-efficient appliances and lighting instead.

The appropriate subpanel size depends on your specific electrical requirements. Consider the number and type of devices you'll be powering, potential future needs, and the capacity of your main electrical panel. An electrician can perform a load calculation to determine the most suitable amperage rating for your situation, ensuring you have adequate power without overpaying for unnecessary capacity.

A main electrical panel connects directly to your utility's power supply and contains your home's primary service disconnect. It distributes electricity throughout your entire house. A subpanel, by contrast, receives power from the main panel and redistributes it to a specific area of your home. Think of the main panel as the primary distribution point and the subpanel as a secondary branch that extends your electrical system's reach.

While electrical upgrades aren't as immediately visible as kitchen or bathroom renovations, they can contribute to your home's functionality and safety. Prospective buyers often appreciate updated electrical systems that can accommodate modern power demands. A properly installed subpanel that provides additional capacity for workshops, home offices, or future expansions could be an attractive feature for certain buyers, though the direct impact on home value varies by market.
