"When we decided to get recessed lighting in our family room, we knew we would call Raymond and his team at Excellence Electric. They had done an amazing job completely replacing our old electrical panel a few years ago. As we expected, Raymond got back to us in a very timely manner, and he and his team started the work immediately thereafter. His team consists of very skilled technicians who can do it all. They even did the drywall repair. Once they did the job in our front room, it looked so incredible, we had them do the whole house. What a difference it has made! It was the single most amazing upgrade we could have made to our home. Many thanks to the fantastic team at Excellence. They were all professional, efficient, and so incredibly nice. The peace of mind we have knowing that we can rely on Excellence for all our electrical needs and issues is beyond measure."

"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!"

"Billy at Mattiace Electric did an excellent job changing out an old ceiling fan in my patio for a new one, and changing out electric fixtures in my kitchen and bathroom. He was on time and the job was finished in less than 2 hours. I highly recommend Mattiace Electric and will use them again if I have another electric project that needs to get done."

"I spoke with Brian on the phone and Steve came to check out the job. They were straight forward on what the job entailed and explained what I needed to do with Edison to move my panel. Their quote was $400 less than the other quote I got from another electrician. We scheduled the job and as told, it took 2 days. The electrical work was $2600 and stucco repair $150. Steve and his crew were all very nice, efficient and I will definitely get quotes for future jobs from Wilson Electric. The only issue that arose was the stucco guy was late, but he was finished by the time we had to leave, so didn't become a problem."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in East-irvine, 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.
