Typically involves upgrading electric service with new or expanded electric panels & a larger main service cable. Often done as part of a remodeling project or when additional electrical appliances & fixtures are desired.

"While Michael the owner was responsive when it came to the actual scheduled job he sent a much junior technician whom I certainly did not expect because he did not tell me. They were supposed to contact me before he showed up but there was no advance call, luckily I was home at the time. The tech did his job and was about to just leave without showing/telling me about how it works or what he installed. I had to ask him about the installation so I can be sure I knew how the equipment operated and if there's anything I needed to know about the install. In the end my opinion is the attic fan was a waste of money and my time. We don't notice any difference in the interior temperature of our house when it's hot. When I inquired about a refund (within 30 days of the install), Michael said he would offer $89 refund for the equipment and not the install. And to think if I didn't use Angie's list, this would have cost me several more hundred dollars. An expensive lesson learned!

"We found Landmark construction energy crew, after being frustrated in the past from other contractors. From the initial meeting that we had with Charlie, we were impressed. Their values of customer satisfaction and their deliver everything they said. Charlie was the manager of the work and he was on time for all the meetings that we had with him. He was very straight, kindly and motivated to be invited into our house. He came back and took all the measurements that he needed for the kitchen, asked us many questions about what we would like to include in the new kitchen and 3 days after, he brought us a 3D design for us to look at and see how it will most likely look like. It was exciting to see how fast they could generate a nice design. Charlie knew what he’s doing and we were sure he has done this type of jobs many times before. Their prices are reasonable. We wanted our kitchen finished as soon as possible, so we agreed with Charlie to start the following week. That gave us little time to buy all the appliances, hardware, countertops, tiles Etc… Charlie personally went with us to 2 showrooms where we picked out our tiles and countertops. He also helped us to search and buy all the options for the (sink, faucet, hardware and more…). To be honest, I was probably a nightmare type of work. We moved out of our place during the month of the remodeling and we were a little worried that something would go wrong and we would end up on a terrifying remodeling show. Now after this remodeling is over, we can say clearly that is nothing to worry about when Landmark construction energy crew are working at your house. Their workers was clean, friendly, willing to answer questions. I discovered that Charlie visits the job site every few days, but he too sincerely cares about your home. He always called regarding the schedule, timeline or if there was a problem that need to be solved. We asked for changes to the electric wiring after the tiles have been installed. Would I recommend them to others? Absolutely yes. We will refer this company to all our friends."

"After a getting schedules aligned, we have Mehran out recently to complete service on an Angie's Deal for 8 hours of electrical work. We ha dseveral things that needed to be taken care of around the house and every one of them was done with care and professionalism. Among services performed were: Installation of attic fan Installation of box and ceiling fan in living room Installation of ceiling fan in office Instalation of exterior porch light Rewire and addition of box to exisiting closet light fixture The last item probably saved us from a fire down the line. Turns out the company that flipped our house cut corners on even more than what we've found and corrected to date when they failed to install a standard box and even correct wiring for the fixture. We're grateful for Mehran's care and attention to detail in his work and are looking forward to hiring him again for additional work we're planning down the line."

"My experience was outstanding!!  On time, on schedule, under budget, passed City inspection with no issues at all.  Would I recommend and hire again?  Absolutely!!
I was having a solar system installed and needed my electric panel to be upgraded.  I sent inquires to most of the Angieslist electricians and received several responses.  Most replied politely with prices ranging from $1900 to $3000.  Instead of just giving me a "standard price", Pete understood that not every job takes the same amount of work, so he asked for a photo or two of what was I had and what I wanted to be done.  We talked a little, emailed a little, and texted a little.  In the end he gave me a quote for the job, and what would and would not be included (stucco patching).  He's an electrician, not a handyman. This was common amongst all the electricians I received responses from.  
His price was by far the best by at least 25%.  Even having to get my own stucco guy, I was $500 ahead than the next closest quote.  Now, full disclosure....we had time to plan this project out.  To help me save money, I asked if I could pull the City permit. No problem.  This was not an emergency fix. SDGE was taking 3 weeks to schedule disconnects, so we picked the soonest date SDGE could do their thing and he booked it on his schedule.
Day of installation?  Nasty weather.  He could have easily blown it off.  If that had happened, my whole solar install would have slipped and not have made its end of year install deadline. Nope, rain or shine, he was going to be there.  I set up a pop up shelter and it worked out perfect. SDGE disconnected at 8:30 and Pete went to work.  By noon, the panel was in with breakers and all. Now we just needed the City inspector to sign off.  Inspector shows up, and it doesn't take 5 minutes for the approval.  Inspector compliments Pete on the install and professional touches indicating he doesn't get many that are that well done.  It doesn't get any better than that!!
Here's another thing?.,  Codes have changed since the house was built and the electrical installed.   We expected to have to re-do the "cold water bond".   As it turned out, the existing "cold water bond" was sufficient for the new panel.  What did he do?  He lowered the cost of the job.  How many others would have still charged?
SDGE showed up, hooked us back up, and between the two of us had all the breakers figured out to what they controlled.  Start to finish was less than 6 hours. 
I couldn't be happier with the job and outcome.  Pete Aardema knows what he's doing.  They're good, they're honest, they'll work with you, and they are affordable."

"Went very well. The owner, Joe, was always available for questions via text or phone. My wife liked the guys who came in and did the work. They were very nice. They were the ones who found a problem caused by SDG&E sub-contractors after performing an upgrade to my service. All is well."

FAQs for electrical for home addition or remodel installation projects in Descanso, CA

There are several telltale signs that your home is due for an electrical upgrade. You may need to rewire your house if your lights are constantly flickering or your circuit breaker keeps tripping. If you feel mild electric shocks when you touch light switches, hear buzzing sounds, or notice burning smells, you may need to rewire your house, too. Discolored or burnt-looking switches and faceplates are another crucial warning sign. 

Properly installed copper wiring in a residential property can last as long as 50 to 100 years in some cases, but many homes over 30 years old are due for an upgrade. That’s the timeline that many experts recommend, even if it is only a partial update to accommodate technological advancements, increased power demands, and changing safety requirements. 

At $3 to $5 per square foot, the cost to wire a 2,000-square-foot house ranges from $6,000 to $10,000, on average. This can depend on many factors, like the age and complexity of the house and how easy it is for contractors to access the areas they need to get the job done. Opening and repairing walls can further add to your total cost.
