"Were they everything you wanted and more? I got exactly what I needed done. I had an old electrical panel that was over 70 years old. It needed replacement and Nelson Electric did their job. Did they job get done right and efficiently? Yes. The biggest challenge was getting the permits. I had to wait two months for my city to approve the work but once done, Nelson Electric done their work right. The owner tried his best to minimize the downtime for no power in my house. The main work took about three hours and I was back with electricity again. How was customer service? Customer service is top notch. The owner acted professional and he even looked professional by wearing clean clothes and he even combed his hair to look presentable. I didn't feel I was working with an average guy on the street. I felt I was working with a professional."

"Robert from Buzz Electric did a very good job of installing light fixtures and replacing light fan in the bathroom. He removed the rusted old fan carefully using electric saw. It took good amount of time but work quality was great. I will recommend Buzz Electric for anyone who needs large or small work done in their home or office."

"We were very lucky to find Emrom Electric and Emmanuel Mbisse. Our 100+ year old house in Berkeley needed complete rewiring after a short circuit and inspection. Emrom was able to start this huge job within a week or two, saving us a lot of money in tenants' dislocation expenses. Emmanuel was a pleasure to work with, providing explanations and giving us options along the way. He got the job done faster than we had hoped in a good, professional manner for a fair price. We would recommend Emrom to anyone and will definitely be contacting them for any future electrical work."

"Edgar is very detailed, respectful, professional with very good customer service! He showed up on time and completed the electric panel change sooner than expected! I have already referred him to my cross the street neighbor, Diane. Hopefully she will reach out soon for an estimate to change out her electrical panel too. Thank you ð ð"

"I am super thrilled with my new electric gate. Don was able to reuse a solar panel that I had to make this automatic gate run on solar power. I highly recommend him for all your electrical needs. So far he has upgraded my electrical panel from a 100 to a 200, installed solar lights and camera, installed a new ceiling fan and new motion sensing lights in my barn."

"Robert did an excellent job installing LED ceiling lights in our family room. I couldn't be happier with the finished work. The installation was very neat and professional. I would not hesitate to call Robert again for any future work. I will be referring Robert to anyone that may need some electrical work."

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