"Jed was in the process of writing an estimate to change out some lighting systems, and install two ceiling fans. He called and said he wasn't complete, but a very hot weekend was coming up and he would do the fans right away! That was a thoughtful idea /suggestion which we agreed to. Jed and his worker braved the extremely hot attic and installed the hardware to hang the ceiling fans, but additional wiring to power them and provided wiring, switches and two updated switch boxes to accommodate the new extra switches. This job required Jed and crew to get creative and inventive to complete this job in a timely basis. The work was very professional, an they left the jobsite clean. Naturally, I look forward to the lighing changes when time is available. We highly recommend Jed Faulkner Electric for any job that involves electrical work."

"Greg was amazing to work with. He added some lights to some of the new rooms in our house and he mapped out the basement us to know what we should expect when we’re ready to finish it. He’s very knowledgeable and really wants to do right by his customers. Peak Energy is the only company I’ll have do electrical work on my house. Give them a shot. You won’t regret it."

"Danny is very honest. He explained to me the electrical work I wanted done was out of his scope of expertise. He went on to say that most electricians would probably tell me the same thing. I appreciate Danny's honesty and will definitely have him do work for me in the near future."

"Nick was late to our first appt, but he rescheduled his next day to accommodate me first thing.  He asked me what I wanted to do and thoroughly explained everything he would need to do to complete the job and made nice recommendations.  On the first floor he had to cut out pieces of dry wall to be able to run wire because there was no existing fixture.  It was very cleanly done w/ minimal cut ins.  Though they don't do drywall repair they put the cut out pieces back in place so there weren't holes in the ceiling and wall.  The 2nd story fixtures they were able to install with no intrusion.  
They even checked and changed a couple lights out in the kitchen at no extra cost.  They worked very cleanly and were friendly and professional and their price was very fair and competitive.  I would definitely recommend them and will use them in the future.

"Ilum Solar did a great job with our system’s installation. The price was competitive and they use top notch and highest quality components such as Enphase microinverters. I have referred them to friends and family and they have also installed systems for them!"

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