"Fabian was fantastic. He contacted me right away and we were able to set an appointment within a few days. On the appointment day he let me know he was running 5 minutes late which was over the top very courteous and shows he really cares about his customers. He was very professional, respectful, and efficient. I highly recommend him for all your electrical needs."

"Wes did a whole house re-wire for me. He was very communicative and offered a variety of options and solutions for different complicated situations. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional throughout the whole project and I never got the feeling he was trying to upsell me like I’ve had in past experiences. I won’t use any other electrician and would recommend him 10/10 times."

"Jason responded quickly to my call. He replaced the electrical panel in my home. Jason was courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. He seriously knows what he is doing. He communicates well and was able to explain to me (a very non technical person) what was happening. I would definitely hire him again."

"Excellent customer experience from beginning to end. Alex was very professional, honest, and not aggressive for my business. Huft provided $4,000 in rebates and a $1,600 promotional credit for an electric HVAC system upgrade! The installers were prompt, expedient, and considerate to not make a mess. The workmanship was great in the interior attic and for the exterior condenser. They cleaned-up afterwards and left no trace or trash. They even ran diagnostic tests after installation and provided the written results with follow-up 6 months later to inspect and make any adjustments. I would highly recommend Huft Heating and Air Conditioning for a new HVAC install."

"Jonathan is a textbook Electrician and his work shows it. He has a great personality And his knowledge of all things electrical is vast. I asked him to give a few of his cards to me and I put 2 up at work. He helped me with outlet and wire upgrades and I requested his assistance on a Bathroom Exhuast fan install, which he accepted. I may ask him to help with solar if it looks promising enough financially. Thanks"

"Julian called immediately after I had placed my request. He was able to give me a quote right then so we scheduled for Tuesday between 8 and 9. I received a phone call at 7:54 AM from Julian who was here and ready to go. He did a fantastic job installing my ceiling fan, and was very considerate of my space. I will definitely call Hunts Electric for any other electrical needs that arise."

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