"I ordered a rewire for most of my house, fix GFCI receptacles in my garage, and update EV charging receptacle. Communication - 4/5 The project manager, Onri, was responsive for the most part and answered any questions I had. Timeliness - 5/5 The crew arrived earlier than I’d expect them. Quality - 5/5 The crew laid down blankets to avoid damaging the floors. They made minimal cuts to gain access to route new wiring. The crew was very professional and seemed like experts. Correctness - 3/5 The crew was not aware I ordered an installation for EV charging, fixing drywall, and fixing the garage GFCI connectors. They had to do two follow up visits to fix the GFCI receptacles. Overall, I had to double check their work. They rewired two bedrooms to the same breaker when they should have been split. The important thing is that they corrected everything that was wrong and was very professional about it. I’d hire them again."

"I contracted with Hector for two electrical projects. The first was for replacement of our 200 amp electrical panel. One problem I've had with contractors has been frustration at their lack of communication. Hector was always good at answering my calls, returning text messages, and keeping me informed. He did his work professionally for a reasonable price, so I hired him again to wire our shed. Again, he did the work professionally and kept me informed of his schedule. One area for improvement would be for him to pay more attention to what the customer says. Some work in our shed had been previously started with Romex installed through the studs. I told him this would need to be replaced with conduit per code. He again started installing Romex. He said he thought we would be installing sheet rock and it would cost more to change to conduit. But after I pointed out I had included flexible conduit in the written scope of work, he made the change with no additional cost or complaint."

"I served as a State-licensed inspector for the City and County of San Francisco for 23 years, overseeing electrical work on multi-million dollar projects throughout the city. During that time, I had the opportunity to inspect Carlos' work on numerous occasions. His installations were always meticulous--completed per plan and strictly up to code. It was clear then, as it is now, that Carlos takes great pride in his work and genuinely enjoys what he does. That passion is evident in the quality of his craftsmanship. Since retiring from the city, I've taken on a major remodel of my home. When I learned that Carlos had started his own business, I didn't even consider anyone else for the job. He handled all the electrical work for my project, including 100% new wiring and trim out of electrical outlets, and lighting. He upgraded the main service to 200 amps, installed three subpanels, and set up two EV charging stations--I highly recommend Shadow Electric!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in San Bruno, 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.
