"William and his team did a fantastic job upgrading our meter panel. They took care of all the permits and had the job done on time and on schedule. They were extremely communicative throughout the entire process and I would use them for all electrical services in the future."

"Mr. Electric did a great job fixing the dead outlets in my kitchen by installing a new GFI switch. The technician was punctual, pleasant, and highly professional throughout the visit, and the issue was resolved quickly. However, the price was exceptionally steep for such a straightforward repair. I am completely satisfied with the quality of the work, but I would recommend getting a few quotes beforehand to ensure you are comfortable with the cost."

"We wanted to have a ceiling fan put into our living room. Unfortunately there was no existing fixture in the ceiling so we had to have an existing electrical wire tapped into and a new fixture/mount needed to be created. Not the most fun of jobs when it's 90 degrees outside and over 100 in the attack which is where most of the work was done. Chris didn't seem to bat an eye with regards to doing the job and dealing with the heat. He gave me a fair quote over the phone and after checking his reviews I hired him for the job. Chris and his assistant arrived on time. They got the job done very quickly and it was done perfectly. I would definitely hire Chris for future Electrical needs."

"Ramon is now my go-to electrician I will call if I need any electrical work done. My partner and I are first time homebuyers and the home we got desperately needed an electrical panel upgrade. I found Ramon who provided fair prices and he also helped us set up our ring cameras and ceilings lights as part of the package, which reallly helped us out! The work he and his team done is clean, professional, and fantastic. He found outdated and exposed wiring and was able to fix that for us as well, so now our home electrical is brand new and SAFE. He’s nearby and it’s great to know a professional we can call anytime we need electrical work done."

"I hired Ken Johnson (Johnson Electric) to correct a number of electrical problems which were identified in a pre-sale home inspection. Among these was a replacement of an unsafe old circuit panel, all new power outlets, conduits and receptacles. Ken provided a quote which was very reasonable. Actual work was performed by two technicians. They arrived on time, completed the job the same day, and left the site in pristine conditioner. We were very satisfied with their work and based on my experience I am happy to recommend Johnson Electric for quality electrical projects in your residence."

"We’re so happy we were recommened Honeybee Electirc. Hector upgraded our electrical panel and also installed the connector for an EV charging station. The whole job went really smoothly from start to finish. Everything passed Edison inspection with no problems, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. He was friendly, professional, and just really easy to work with. What we appreciated most was that he didn’t just do the panel upgrade and leave, he also took the time to help organize and clean up our electrical system overall, which was above and beyond what we expected. It’s hard to find someone who does great work and is also kind and personable, but he really checked all the boxes. We’re very happy with the work and would definitely hire him again and recommend him to others."

"Mark was very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. He enlarged my electrical panel and installed a plug for my hybrid vehicle. Also, he took the time to explain the procedures to get the panel approval from the electric company and markings placed by the gas company before his work began. Work was expertly completely in a timely manner. Highly recommend him!"

"On 9/2/2020 I met with several electricians who were not being honest with their quotes. They were taking one quick look during the estimate, then throwing numbers at me. But not Francis. He took notes with his partner and sent me the estimate that evening. Francis was very professional, honest, and did a quick clean job. He did bathroom vents, smoke detectors, upgraded my panel, and replaced a wire that a mouse chewed. I will be calling him for more projects. He is excellent! Glad I found him! *Addendum to Review I used Francis again on10/9/2020 to put up recessed lighting. He and his partner did a quick, thorough, and clean job. He removed the old fluorescent lighting and truly transformed the look. He worked with me on the types of lighting and what would work best before starting, which I appreciated. He took my choices and ideas into consideration and made this a wonderful experience. I hope to be adding more to this review soon and have already recommended him to others."

"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!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in North Hills, 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.
