"Charles did a great job - quick diagnosis, efficient repair, and he explained and showed me everything that needed to be done. He also had the needed part in his truck. What I appreciated the most was when I asked if I needed an all new electrical panel for my 44 year old house. It was an easy opportunity to talk me into a much bigger job, but his honesty told me it wasn't necessary. That's a guy I can trust! I will be using him again in a few months for a number of other electrical jobs. Thanks, Charles."

"Justin did a fantastic job updating our old electric panel, replacing a porch light, and adding a new GFCI outlet. He was able to get our jobs squeezed in within 2 days. Very courteous, professional, and detail oriented. He was recommended from a friend, and Justin is my new go-to electrician. I highly recommend him."

"I bought two Toto washlets (bidet toilet seats) to be used in the two bathrooms upstairs. None of the bathroom had a GFCI outlet to provide power for the washlet on top of the toilet. Mehran came 15 minutes ahead of the scheduled time and started to seal the working area with plastic sheets. He removed an old phone jack outlet and used its space to install a switch for the GFCI outlet in the master bathroom. The GFCI outlet was installed nicely near the toilet. We can turn the switch on before we use the washlet and turn the switch off to save power when we are not at home. Mehran replaced the single light switch panel with a 2-switch panel in the guest bathroom. One switch controls the light and the other one controls the GFCI outlet. Both the switch panel and GFCI outlet were installed nicely. Mehran also reconfigured two switches to provide power to two yard floor lights separately. Mehran kept his work area very clean during his work and after his work. He was very polite and friendly. My wife and I were very pleased with Mehran's excellent work. We will hire him for all our future electric jobs. We recommend Mehran highly."

"Pete and his crew did an excellent job.  They installed the panels in record time and for a great price.  I was very happy with the job they did, and felt very comfortable that I could trust their work.
My panels have been working great now for almost a year and I couldn't be happier.  Inspector had no corrections and approved the work without any issues.   Pete and his guys have done work for me in the past, and I would definitely recommend him to others.  I've always been very happy with their work, and Pete is great to work with.

"Great. Most electricians that I spoke with wanted to change out my fuse box. He reviewed box and said he could replace fuses. Then, he inspected wiring that was causing fuses to trip and found the problem. Great work."

"The electrician was awesome.  I like the price and his being punctual.  He even did a follow up.  Everything was good and it was a great job.  I chose him because I got him from Angie's List and when I was talking to him, I found out that one of his cousins works for an electric company and I knew his cousin so that sealed the deal."

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