"Ted and his crew were prompt, professional and got the job done in the time estimated. They understand how to deal with permitting, inspections and scheduling each step in the process. Specifically, Ted is very familiar with local nuances in each city, related to inspections. My house, being an older structure with older wiring and an oddly placed riser pole, was not a straight forward project, but it was no problem for the crew. They completed the work as planned, kept a clean job site and were very courteous throughout the project. I was very pleased with the work done by the Apollo and would hire them again and highly recommend them to others."

"This company has my business from here on out from the first phone call to the end of the job or should I say jobs they have taken care of me and made me feel like I was being taken care of. Itâ s very hard to trust all contractors cause not all contractors care about what they do as much as about the check at the end these guys are different. They go out of their way to make sure that you are satisfied with what they are doing and there are no unnecessary change orders at all. I like to thank you guys personally for always making sure my knee your met."

"Ray gave me a call while I was in the process of finding an electrician to troubleshoot a wiring problem at our office space. I told him that some of the outlets were working while some of them were temperamental. Ray came to the office with a sense of urgency, and not only checked out the electrical panel, but looked at every individual outlet that was not working. He explained what the problem was in great detail, and was very confident that he could fix the problem, and scheduled for two of his workers to come out the following day to tackle the issue. They were able to fix it in about an hour, and everything is working perfectly now. I immediately asked for a way to give a review, so here I am right now. 10/10!!!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in New-almaden, 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.
