"The services went very well. Charles showed up the same day that I called him. He quickly determined what needed to be done and was able to perform the electrical services I needed. He was very polite, used a mask when he was in our place and also was a very polite, pleasant person. I thought his charges were very reasonable. I would highly recommend him."

"Keith is such a delight! He is incredibly reliable and honest. He took care of all of our needs at the studio and I feel so lucky to have found him on Angie's List. He is now my go-to electrician for anything home or business related :)"

"

Mr. Dove didn't do the work.  It was two of his employees or subcontractors.  The installation of the wiring, ceiling fan and ceiling light went fine, but the drywall repair wasn't that good.  The texture they sprayed on the walls didn't even remotely match the existing wall texture, so their patch job was obvious.  Also, they didn't reconnect something in one of the outlets so only the top socket worked.  When I notified Mr. Dove, he came out the next day to fix it.  I was impressed by Mr. Dove's professionalism, and would hire him again provided he did the work.

"Originally, I had some concerns...it took over a week to get someone to come out and give an estimate and during that time, Atlas Electric forgot who I was and I had to remind him 2-3 times what I needed done. There was also confusion as Atlas assumes that their customers will use and respond to SMS messages. However, once the electrician came out, it turned out he was quite reasonable, knowledgeable, responsive, and decently priced. And, followup was very fast. Indeed, the job was done perfectly and I don't think any other electrician would have done a better job. The wiring for the new circuit branches were hidden properly....an effort above and beyond my expectations. New outlets were flush and pristine. Installation of the new wired smoke alarms was also done perfectly and with patience. Discussions of future projects with Atlas Electric went well and I would recommend them to friends. The company just needs to get a better customer management and contact system....unlike other businesses, Atlas doesn't seem to use a call center or receptionist or anyone other than the electrician to respond to requests."

"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."

"We did a total remodel of my husband's family home.   It took over six months.  Our next door neighbor is Andre Johnson who is starting up his own solar panel installation out of his home.  He has been in the business for  years, but felt now was the time for him to start his own business.  After we moved in, we talked to him about solar installation...we got some other bids, but his was still the best.  He and his son did the installation, then we called the city for the inspector to come out.
This is why I am writing this review.  With the total remodel, we had a lot of city inspections, and we knew how particular they are.  The inspector came out, went up on the roof for 10 or 15 minutes.  Then he told Andre he wanted to talk to us.  We thought...this can't be good.  On the contrary....the inspector wanted us to know what an outstanding job they did.  In fact, he said he had never seen such a perfect job.  He had been to two other homes for solar installation inspection prior to ours, and neither one of them passed.  He said they were done by well known, large local companies.  He said the larger companies sub-contract out the work, so you don't get the pride of ownership kind of work that we got.
Andre has five different licenses on his business card.  I did check his CA license....#958114...and he is in good standing with the state of California.  One of the other licenses was his federal contracting license, and another one was with the State of California as a disabled vet.
If you are looking for any kind of solar panel installation, PLEASE call Andre for a bid.  I really don't think you can find a better price, and I know you won't get a better job.

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

While homeowners with substantial electrical knowledge might technically attempt a subpanel installation, most local building departments require permits and inspections for this type of work. Professional electricians understand local code requirements, can obtain necessary permits, and ensure the installation meets safety standards. Given the significant safety risks associated with incorrect electrical work, most homeowners benefit from hiring a licensed professional.

A standard subpanel installation takes an average of four to eight hours. This timeframe may extend if you're installing multiple subpanels or adding specialized circuits like those for spa equipment. Factors such as difficult access points, complex wiring paths, or permit processing times can also affect the overall project duration.

Adding a subpanel doesn't directly reduce electricity consumption or lower your utility bills. A subpanel simply redistributes power from your main panel to additional circuits. However, organizing your electrical system more efficiently may help prevent overloaded circuits and the associated problems. For actual cost savings, consider energy-efficient appliances and lighting instead.

The appropriate subpanel size depends on your specific electrical requirements. Consider the number and type of devices you'll be powering, potential future needs, and the capacity of your main electrical panel. An electrician can perform a load calculation to determine the most suitable amperage rating for your situation, ensuring you have adequate power without overpaying for unnecessary capacity.

A main electrical panel connects directly to your utility's power supply and contains your home's primary service disconnect. It distributes electricity throughout your entire house. A subpanel, by contrast, receives power from the main panel and redistributes it to a specific area of your home. Think of the main panel as the primary distribution point and the subpanel as a secondary branch that extends your electrical system's reach.

While electrical upgrades aren't as immediately visible as kitchen or bathroom renovations, they can contribute to your home's functionality and safety. Prospective buyers often appreciate updated electrical systems that can accommodate modern power demands. A properly installed subpanel that provides additional capacity for workshops, home offices, or future expansions could be an attractive feature for certain buyers, though the direct impact on home value varies by market.
