"I recently hired Gary to upgrade my electrical panel, install new backyard lighting, redo some outdated wiring throughout my home and install a sauna — and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the beginning, he was incredibly professional, communicative, and punctual. He took the time to walk me through the scope of work, explained everything clearly, and provided a fair and transparent estimate. The backyard lighting installation turned out beautifully and as for the wiring, he did a clean and thorough job, correcting issues I didn’t even know existed. It’s clear he takes pride in his work, and I really appreciated the attention to detail and safety. Highly recommend Gary if you’re looking for a skilled, trustworthy electrician."

"Perfect and smooth journey, Jorge came pre instillation to check the electrical panel and where the the charger was going to be installed and after the review he text me the cost of parts and installation, after I received the charger he came on time and the job was completed. I was updated by text messages throughout the process. In the future if I need any electrical work I definitely use JK Flores Enterprise."

"Could not be any happier! Very nice and professional and his customer service cant be beat. This is a father and son business. My first time using him and I would give him 1000-stars. He was prompt, explained everything and I found his prices to be good and fair. They spent 6+ hours installing my generator to the house electrical panel and job was clean, nicely labeled and we are ready for the next SCE shut down. The quality of the products used was outstanding. I would highly recommend his services to anybody needing electrical work. When he left the job site, it was absolutely immaculate and cleaned to perfection.. They take PRIDE in their business and it shows."

"We are very pleased with the quality of the work. None of our lighting, pool equipment or outdoor electrical was working properly and Fairway Electric identified the problem immediately. After running a new line and rewiring existing outlets, we now have power to the entire backyard and it is much safer now."

"I recently had an electrician install an EV plug in my garage for my Tesla Model Y, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. He was the first to contact me and even came out right away to assess the job, which gave me confidence from the start. Others contacted me, but none of them took the time to come and evaluate everything in person. The electrician arrived on time for the installation, explained everything clearly, and made sure the work was done up to code. The job was clean and neatly finished, no messy wires or unnecessary holes. He also tested the outlet with me to confirm proper charging before leaving. My Tesla charges perfectly now, and I have peace of mind knowing it was done safely and correctly. Pricing was fair for the quality of work, and he was very knowledgeable about EV charging requirements. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to add an EV plug at home or any Electrical projects you have."

"I got a few estimates to get more power out to my studio. Everyone quoted me about 4K to upgrade my panel and get dedicated line out to my studion. These guys were to only ones that looked for a better/more economical solution. I sent a pic of my panel and he remembered that I upgraded my kitchen a while back but noticed that my electric stove had it's own dedicated line. He asked me, did you convert to gas when you remodeled? I said yes and he said, great, we take the line that was dedicated to the stove and we use that. It saved me $1500 and it worked perfectly. I would absolutely hire again!"

"I sourced quotes from 4 different companies to replace and upgrade my electrical panel. ADI's quote was not only the cheapest but also the most detailed. One company actually quoted me 3x more than ADI for the exact same work (B&W). ADI knocked out every aspect of the upgrade in a timely manner. ADI was an absolute pleasure to work with and I give them my full recommendation!"

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