"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!"

"Fairway electric has helped me with so many things around my house. They've replaced many light fixtures and even helped me repair a rope light that my dog chewed. Most recently they ran power from an outdoor outlet on my house to the end of my driveway for an automatic gate. They did an immaculate job and everything was so clean and professional. Everyone I talk to there is super helpful, reasonable and experienced. I will continue to call on them for anything I need!"

"I recently hired Mazen from Smart Electrical Solutions for a multi-stage project at my home, and I couldn't be more impressed with the results. The project was complex: a full electrical panel upgrade, a complete layout of recessed lighting, and some tricky troubleshooting of older circuits that had been giving me trouble for years. Mazen handled the panel upgrade with incredible precision. The wiring is remarkably clean and organized, and he took the time to clearly label every single breaker—something my previous electrician overlooked."

"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!"

"Conversion electrical was spot on. I had a residential that turned into commercial, and without hesitation, they were able to make the transformation. Take care of all the commercial electrical and had no problems with inspections or Inspector you can not go wrong with conversion Electrical."

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