Our mission is to provide unsurpassed customer service to all of our customers regardless of the project size. Please call our office to schedule your estimate 714-551-9841.

"I contacted I contacted JVEC after I had a very bad experience with another contractor. I was told by the first contractor that my problem was very complicated requiring a complete rewiring of an entire circuit. That would require the work of two electricians for a full day at a cost of $3,100 plus a new electrical box for $6,000. This seemed ridiculous so I called JVEC. The electrician from JVEC arrived and agreed that it was a fairly complicated situation but he was able to fix the problem in about an hour at a cost of $189. - no new electrical box required. To me this is a great example of an honorable contractor and a contractor that is just trying to squeeze as many dollars out of a customer that they can. I highly recommend JVEC for their professionalism and ethics. "

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Fountain Valley, CA

While homeowners with substantial electrical knowledge might technically attempt a subpanel installation, most local building departments require permits and inspections for this type of work. Professional electricians understand local code requirements, can obtain necessary permits, and ensure the installation meets safety standards. Given the significant safety risks associated with incorrect electrical work, most homeowners benefit from hiring a licensed professional.

A standard subpanel installation takes an average of four to eight hours. This timeframe may extend if you're installing multiple subpanels or adding specialized circuits like those for spa equipment. Factors such as difficult access points, complex wiring paths, or permit processing times can also affect the overall project duration.

Adding a subpanel doesn't directly reduce electricity consumption or lower your utility bills. A subpanel simply redistributes power from your main panel to additional circuits. However, organizing your electrical system more efficiently may help prevent overloaded circuits and the associated problems. For actual cost savings, consider energy-efficient appliances and lighting instead.

The appropriate subpanel size depends on your specific electrical requirements. Consider the number and type of devices you'll be powering, potential future needs, and the capacity of your main electrical panel. An electrician can perform a load calculation to determine the most suitable amperage rating for your situation, ensuring you have adequate power without overpaying for unnecessary capacity.

A main electrical panel connects directly to your utility's power supply and contains your home's primary service disconnect. It distributes electricity throughout your entire house. A subpanel, by contrast, receives power from the main panel and redistributes it to a specific area of your home. Think of the main panel as the primary distribution point and the subpanel as a secondary branch that extends your electrical system's reach.

While electrical upgrades aren't as immediately visible as kitchen or bathroom renovations, they can contribute to your home's functionality and safety. Prospective buyers often appreciate updated electrical systems that can accommodate modern power demands. A properly installed subpanel that provides additional capacity for workshops, home offices, or future expansions could be an attractive feature for certain buyers, though the direct impact on home value varies by market.
