"I live "off the grid" so 100% of my electricity is from solar panels and battery storage. Recently my 21 year old system was starting to fail forcing me to continually run my generator. After researching and spending a large amount of time reading reviews online I contacted TARGET ELECTRIC & SOLAR for a quote. The next day they sent out an ELECTRICIAN to assess my needs and requirements. The following day I had a formal written quote. I had a few minor changes so they revised the quote. I told them I had an upcoming surgery scheduled so the timing was critical. I had just gone to Costco and loaded my freezer with over $300 in frozen food and that was going to melt down. The owner of Target Electric offered to let me put my food in his church/community centers freezers. I used my own church's freezers. Who does that? Target Electric laid out a three tier payment schedule and we got the project started. The components were shipped directly to my home and within a day or two the cre"

"Yousif was very responsive and did not upsell anything he has all the materials you need. His parts were cheaper than Lowe’s or Home Depot if you use them I suggest just get the fixtures you want and let him provide the wiring and switches as needed unless you want a unique one like a fan and light switch combo ."

"Keith Walter and his crew, Alan and Andy did an upgrade of electrical panel and installed a new sub panel, labeled the breakers by tracing the house lighting and outlets. They were efficient, knowledgeable and courteous. They explained the job to an 84 year old woman to help me understand what is happening to panels in a 50 year old house in Scripps Ranch."

"Roque and his crew were fantastic! They were super friendly, confidence inspiring, skilled, and efficient. Scheduling the estimate and project dates was easy. Roque was up front about what kind of work it would take to complete what we needed. As is ALWAYS the case in older condos, they encountered a minor issue in the wiring that needed to be brought up to code. Roque showed it to us, explained it, and told us the cost of it so we could easily understand what was going on. I also want to mention that I already knew that they’d have to open up walls and ceiling, and that I’d have to patch that up. Roque gave me a recommendation for someone to do that, but I had already decided to do it myself to save some money. I was THRILLED when they were finished to see that they had replaced the chunks of drywall in a way that made it very easy for me to do the patching myself. I can’t express how appreciative I was for that!! I would definitely hire Roque and MJ Electric again, and I highly recommend them for their skill and efficiency, as well as the care they take in making a project like this go as smoothly as possible!"

"We needed an electrical panel upgrade to accommodate the installation of solar panels, as our existing panel was outdated. Erik was highly recommended to us by a family friend so we chose to move forward with him. We are very glad we did, as we later encountered issues with the solar company. Erik’s work was exceptionally clean, professional, and reliable."

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