"As usual with Garafano Electric, everything went fine -- way more than fine, actually. We have used them for years on various upgrades to our 1920's mediterranean home. William, the owner, is great about explaining our options and always finds the best and most efficient way to work within the confines of an older two-story duplex on a sloped lot that has serious access issues. Pricing is fair, they have never failed to show up on the appointed day, and on time, and complete the job as agreed. They have never disappointed for over 20 years, and I recommend them without hesitation!"

"My previous electrician had sadly done a terrible job performing my panel upgrade from 100a to 200a. Also, the permitting stages were not followed and I was unfortunately not compliant because of it. After shopping around for many electricians, I eventually met Mike and knew he was the guy that I was going to work with. Mike explained every detail one step at a time. My project was a large project since I was to not only rewire my 200amp panel, we had to fix grounding, water bonding, and also Trench 4 feet deep for SDGE to upgrade our line from 100a to 200a as well. This was a long and stressful process that became super easy because of the effort and work put in by Mike and his team. Mike was here for all of the permitting stages whenever the city or SDGE was here, so that he could answer all their questions and concerns directly. Mike will continue being my electrician from now on. I highly suggest MIke and his team for all of your electrician needs. They are very quick to answer phone calls, text messages, explain all processes and next steps. Super fortunate to have Mike on my home improvement team."

"3 ceiling fans and 1 ceiling light were installed in 1 day as promised. I like that they text me a day before to confirm/remind me of the upcoming appointment, and that they show up on time. They were courteous and professional. They cleaned up, patched up, and vacuum after the job. I'm pleased with the job performed and would definitely use them again for any future electrical related jobs."

"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."

"Called M.Y. Electrical for a 200 amp panel upgrade estimate. Luis came out the next day and had a very clear explanation of what need to be done and the timeframe involved, along with a very fair estimate. The crew: Luis, Jesus, Michael and Miguel came out a few days later to do the job. I am impressed, everyone on the crew did excellent work. Due to their knowledge and work ethics they made it stress free for me. Luis took care of obtaining the proper permits. He also informed me through texts of their arrival times, and inspection times, and being here during inspection. After electrical work was completed Javier repaired the stucco, also well done. Very happy I chose M.Y. Electrical and Louis and his crew to do the work!"

"52-YEAR BUSINESS!!! Jack Vardiman is the TOP electrician to effectively fix/set up your essential electrical systems. Checked Angie's List and selected JVEC Inc. in Brea. Jaclyn provided outstanding customer service and immediately set up an appointment. Jack's knowledge is encyclopedic; his skill is utmost; and his actions are meticulous. He instantly recognized an older GE circuit panel and efficiently replaced the damaged breaker with the appropriate part. Furthermore, the repair fee was very reasonable."

"We needed a NEMA 14-50 EV charger installed outdoors for an electric car, and got 3 quotes from Angie's List. Based on the 3 bids, it seemed certain we'd need a subpanel breaker box installed as our main breaker box was full and there were no empty slots to assign to the EV charger. However, only Tommy from Fairway offered up a potential solution within the existing breaker box, if they were able to source a hard to find quad breaker. It seemed unlikely, but would save a lot of hours (new box install / wiring under the house) and money. Sure enough, he source the part and made it happen. On top of that, they were professional and easy to work with. Highly recommend!"

"Manuel, Adrian and Oscar showed up as scheduled, did a great job “wiring in” my LED bathroom mirrors. They were unable to resolve my fireplace issue after determining it is a gas, not electrical problem. They cleaned up after themselves and were generally nice to have in my home."

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