"Jacob installed my new EV charger. He did an excellent job taking great care in cutting my drywall in the garage to access the main panel outside and then place the wiring in a manner that was as hidden as possible- all at a very fair price. I would recommend him highly and will call on him for future jobs."

"We recently had Mega Power Electric Inc install a solar system and panels. The President and provided excellent communication all the way through the process. He even met with us after installation to explain the almost incomprehensible PG&E bill. Although not the least expensive bid, his was competitive and I felt he was as interested in educating me about solar and the various types of panels and inverter systems as he was in selling a system. He demonstrated how the array of panels would meet our energy needs and as opposed to some of the other companies, wasn't selling us more than we needed. We are very satisfied with our solar system and I highly recommended Mega Power Electric Inc."

"I hired Ryan from Hotleg Electric to upgrade an electrical panel. While we had him there we also decided have him install some can lights and move a few switches around. The work in the panel was perfect. Everything was labeled clearly, and all the wiring was impressively neat. He cleaned up after himself. Very professional."

"We hired Gary in January to upgrade the writing in our garage, which he did successfully. The second half of the writing project between the house and the garage remains unfinished. Overhead lights in the kitchen were replaced, but didn't finish replacing the lights in the hall. One light in the kitchen has been blinking and we haven't been able to show him to find out why. His work is good, he is a nice guy, it's just we are 't has been difficult to get back. We call, three times we have waited for his arrival and then he didn't arrive. Now it's mid-March and we are still mid project. Going out today to find someone to finish the job.

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