"I got a few estimates to get more power out to my studio. Everyone quoted me about 4K to upgrade my panel and get dedicated line out to my studion. These guys were to only ones that looked for a better/more economical solution. I sent a pic of my panel and he remembered that I upgraded my kitchen a while back but noticed that my electric stove had it's own dedicated line. He asked me, did you convert to gas when you remodeled? I said yes and he said, great, we take the line that was dedicated to the stove and we use that. It saved me $1500 and it worked perfectly. I would absolutely hire again!"

"We recently had Mega Power Electric Inc install a solar system and panels. The President and provided excellent communication all the way through the process. He even met with us after installation to explain the almost incomprehensible PG&E bill. Although not the least expensive bid, his was competitive and I felt he was as interested in educating me about solar and the various types of panels and inverter systems as he was in selling a system. He demonstrated how the array of panels would meet our energy needs and as opposed to some of the other companies, wasn't selling us more than we needed. We are very satisfied with our solar system and I highly recommended Mega Power Electric Inc."

"The original visit was to correct several electrical issues we had.  The electrician did an excellent job and even gave us less expensive options, which we took. We have already hired them for additional work, which was also succesfully completed.

"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!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Cedar Glen, 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.
