"Target Electric Enterprises Inc replaced and upgraded my 50 year old main electric panel and I’m so glad I selected them for the job! Sean was responsive from day 1 and kept me fully informed throughout the process. My job required installing a new underground cable also, which involved several interactions with SDGE and City of San Diego, and Sean and Steve very capably handled every step with skill and efficiency. In the field, Steve has extensive expertise and obviously takes great pride in getting the job done right. Their pricing was also very reasonable, and I totally recommend them for any electric job, small or large!"

"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 ."

"I didn't know the rooms could be this well lit. We had some additional recessed lighting and ceiling fan/light fixtures installed (among other things). We hired Walter Electric a couple years ago to do a major upgrade on the home electrical/lighting, which turned out great, and so it was very good to be able to get them again. Keith had some great suggestions and it's really livened up the space. They are friendly, accomodating, and have great workmanship. Just really nice experience all around."

"Because of some internet issues on my side, this will be the third time I've written this review. I'm pointing this out because Marvin's work is so good that it is totally worth the effort for me to keep trying. Carvin Electric, which Marvin leads, is the model of what a contractor should be...reasonable, fast, super easy to work with, and incredibly reliable. Marvin and team did exactly what we asked and then some. He had great ideas of ways to improve our project, and never tried to gouge us for changes or upgrades. He worked around a difficult timeline and circumstances, and his work was absolutely perfect. I'm not sure I could recommend Carvin highly enough. Amazing!!"

"EXCELLENT. Roque and Michael (bus partner) are both extremely efficient, professional, articulate, present and ready and available to do whatever job you need. Roque scheduled as early as possible to ensure he had plenty of time to do the job well. Michael was the one that did the work I needed..found the issue immediately..replaced BUT they also took the time to diagnose the rest of my lines so if they do ever come back they have history on my electrical lines so they dont waste my time trying to re create the wheel of diagnosing and can get to deeper issues that could arise. Not that they will just saying the lines are behind walls so the simple fix was made for my issue but there is always a chance it could be behind the walls..so he prepared himsefl should I need them to come back to get to business. Very impressed. Easy to pay..they send you an electronic bill, pay by credit card. Definitely recommend. Before MJ I called numerous other electricans (found on yelp or google)..MJ was only one that didnt fill me with excuses, deflections and down right "creepy" where I would not hire the others due to didnt trust them. MJ was extremely professional and saved his name/number to be my electrican of choice for any futher needs on my home."

"I can’t say enough good things about Blue Volt Electric, especially Bernardo. After another company stonewalled me and delayed things for over 24 hours, Bernardo showed up and immediately got to work. Within minutes he identified a serious electrical issue that very likely could have burned our house down. Not only did he clearly explain what was happening, but he fixed the problem quickly and made sure everything was set up properly so this would never happen again. Professional, knowledgeable, calm under pressure, and genuinely cared about our safety. Bernardo quite literally saved our home. If you need an electrician you can trust, Blue Volt Electric is the real deal. Highly, highly recommend."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Lemon Grove, 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.
