"Our house is from the 70s and still had the original 100-amp panel. Insurance company was giving us a hard time about it and we couldn't add any circuits for a future EV charger. Enrique and Mark upgraded us to a 200-amp panel. They were here most of the day but kept the workspace clean and walked me through everything in the new panel when they finished. PG&E came out a few days later and reconnected us. Whole process was smoother than expected."

"Gridwise handled the electrical component of our solar wiring project. Stas explained what was included and what could change depending on what they found in the panel, which I thought was super nice and thoughtful. On site, Enrique and the crew were calm and methodical. When a small issue popped up, they gave options (with trade-offs) rather than just making us accept the issue. Everything looks clean, and inspection went through without issues. Would def recommend them to friends and fam for any future projects!"

"We hired Pro City Electric, Inc. for a complete electrical panel upgrade at our home, and they absolutely knocked it out of the park. This was a major project that included underground electrical work, replacing old and outdated equipment, installing the new panel, and correcting numerous code violations and unsafe conditions left behind by the previous installer. Some of what they uncovered was honestly scary. They identified problems we never even knew existed and corrected everything properly. Knowing what we know now, some of those issues could have become serious safety or fire hazards, so we genuinely feel like Pro City Electric may have saved our home — and potentially our lives. Their workmanship was incredibly clean and professional, they clearly knew exactly what they were doing, and they didn’t cut corners. The finished installation looks night-and-day better than what was there before, and most importantly, we finally feel confident that our electrical system!"

"Fernando did an excellent job and I am keeping his contact info for future needs. He is very professional and shows up on time. He made wonderful suggestions on adding power for outdoor lighting and repair and improvement of a switch. Hi recommendation involved hiding the wiring by hooking the 2 devices up to a double switch on an inside wall. Other bidders suggested attaching almost 20 feet of wiring to the exterior of my house. He explained everything very clearly. He noticed an outdoor outlet that wasn't rain proof and suggested changing that out. Finally, his price was very fair and lower than other bids. I highly recommend FH Electric for any electric needs."

"Chris did a wonderful job in my project. He installed light fixtures and replaced electrical switches for me. He went over and above, cleaning up a messy wiring situation that he discovered. Chris was professional, had great attention detail and extremely conscious of the work surroundings. He was very kind and considerate. I highly recommend Chris for anyone who needs electrical work."

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