"I was having trouble with my electrical panel and my solar company would not help me. I called JVec and they actually answered the phone. They came out the next day and were able to resolve the problem. They were knowledgable and did a good job of explaining what was wrong. I would hire them again."

"From the beginning, the experience with Raymond was fantastic. He asked me for pictures of the current electrical panel, and with some additional information, he was able to provide an all-inclusive quote. He handled the permits and coordinated between the city and the power company. He was always very responsive and proactive. His team communicated clearly and was focused on getting every detail done right. I would hire Raymond in a heartbeat for any/all electrical work."

"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!"

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an outstanding experience with Wilsons Electric. Their team was professional, punctual, and completed all of the work with exceptional quality and attention to detail. They installed a dedicated outlet for our carpet cutting machine, new light fixtures in our electrical room, and an additional power outlet in our lobby. From start to finish, communication was excellent, the work area was kept clean, and everything was completed safely and efficiently. It's refreshing to work with a contractor that takes pride in their craftsmanship and delivers exactly what they promise. I highly recommend Wilsons Electric for any commercial or residential electrical needs. We'll definitely be using them again for future projects."

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