"Joes Electric company used their experience and expertise to worked with me to add an additional outlet for a TV and a perimeter lighting system. I was having a new patio cover with recessed lighting done. Joe was able to work with the project manager to install the interface perfectly, it needed to be routed to accommodate the wire and they were able to do that!"

"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!"

"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!"

"Meticulously troubleshot why a ceiling light and ceiling fan were not working in a 1916 house. Upgraded electrical panel from the 1990’s. Was here a few minutes before the time slot for the City of Orange inspector - passed inspection easily. Precise, organized work."

"Saiyan Electric exceeded my expectations from start to finish. Julio and Rodrigo completed my panel upgrade and did outstanding work. The installation was flawless and passed city inspection immediately. Walter handled the stucco repair, and it also passed inspection right away. Everything was done professionally and looks great. A big thank you to William for his excellent customer service. He was always quick to respond to calls and texts, kept me updated throughout the project, and made the entire process easy. The crew was professional, respectful, and left the work area spotless when they finished. Honestly, I did not expect this level of customer service and attention to detail. Quality work, great communication, and a smooth experience from beginning to end. I highly recommend Saiyan Electric."

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