"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!"

"Keith Walter and his crew, Alan and Andy did an upgrade of electrical panel and installed a new sub panel, labeled the breakers by tracing the house lighting and outlets. They were efficient, knowledgeable and courteous. They explained the job to an 84 year old woman to help me understand what is happening to panels in a 50 year old house in Scripps Ranch."

"Burgin Brothers Electric Inc. was just the electrical company I needed to update my wiring. I recently did a remodel of the back unit of my duplex and Mark helped me with the electrical part of it. Mark and his company were so gracious and helped me out tremendously by also installing a kitchen hood vent and a bathroom exhaust fan. He is also extremely affordable. How I know this is that in the recent past I had an electrician add two circuits to my front unit. That electrician was extremely expensive and did not even complete the work, and other estimates I was given for my back unit were also just as expensive. I strongly advise that if you have Mark and his company come do any work for you, don't let anyone else handle your breaker panel; let him take over. He will clean it up for you. Any new circuits you have installed will be up to code. Mark knows how to analyze your system and will put in the proper safety features. He is remarkable, patient and helped me plan out my system so that it would work efficiently. I am very satisfied with Mark and his work ethic and I highly recommend Burgin Brothers Electric Inc."

"Jeff and his team were outstanding. They arrived quickly, immediately understood what needed to be done, and came fully prepared with all the necessary equipment. They efficiently ran wiring from my utility room to the garage, making only the access holes needed while keeping both areas clean throughout the process. About an hour and a half later, they helped sync my Tesla app with the charger and made sure everything was working perfectly before leaving. Professional, knowledgeable, and efficient from start to finish. I give Jeff and his team a 10 out of 10 and would highly recommend them."

They arrived on time, were incredibly professional, and took the time to fully explain the job before getting started. The quality of their work was top-notch!!

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Pacific-beach, 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.
