"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!"

"JK Flores LLC sent Jorge and an associate to install a Big Ass fan and to service another Big Ass fan that had been giving us trouble for over a year (others had tried to fix it before). Jorge was on time and sensitive and attentive to our thoughts and concerns. He was quick at his work but was clean and never gave us any concern that he would sacrifice speed over quality of his work. We are already looking for other electrical issues in our house for Jorge to attend. We would highly recommend him to anyone needing electrical help."

"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."

"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."

"We bought a ring pro doorbell that required us to upgrade the transformer. We had an old transformer that ran at 10V. I thought we needed a 16V (this was the answer to our problem according to Ring and my research) so we finally caved and looked for multiple quotes online. Raul from Citywide Electric was in my second round of quotes. He contacted me within minutes of my request. By far he gave me the best price, was the only one to actually call me, was professional and answered all my questions. His workers showed up on time, were kind, curteous and respectful of our home. They completed the work quickly and efficiently. We then proceeded to install the ring doorbell but to our disappointment after installing, calling customer support and researching found that we need a higher voltage transformed (soo annoyed). I called Raul back to see how much it would be to get a higher voltage transformer. He offered to do the exchange and would only charge us the price difference of the transformer. We will DEFINETLY be using Citywide Electric for our future projects. Thank you!!"

"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!"

"Ignacio was so easy to work with! He is so knowledgeable and skilled in his craft. They did a complete house rewire in 4 days and we couldn't have been more pleased! We have a historic 1925 home and they were able to work with the old lathe and plaster and old wiring and make it all safe and sound. Jonathan and Augusto were great too! We highly recommend Coast Electric for your electrical jobs: big and small. Thank you Ignacio!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in La Habra, 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.
