"Apollo Electric is a great company. Came out and scoped out the job and made some very nice money saving suggestions before hand. Day of the job they were onetime With a crew of 3. Unpacked all their equipment finished the entire job and packed and cleaned up in under 3 hours. They even gave me some suggestions about wiring and box placement. I would check these guys out. Great service, great suggestions and very friendly."

"They were a great company to work with. They even found me a $600 tax rebate for upgrading my panel that I would not have thought to look for. They were always on time and got things done very quickly. Even the permits were done very fast. Other companies said permits can take 3 or 4 weeks. Avant had it all permitted and completed in 2 weeks."

"Expect highly personalized service from a professional electrician who will customize a project with your personal safety as their first priority. Also, thanks to T K Electric; I expect my electric bill will now be lower as my daily routines will no longer include those heat producing lights and heavy electric loads which were built-in to the former design of the old electric system in my home. I am very pleased that I hired this electrician and can now safely introduce other upgrades to my home."

"Jacob installed my new EV charger. He did an excellent job taking great care in cutting my drywall in the garage to access the main panel outside and then place the wiring in a manner that was as hidden as possible- all at a very fair price. I would recommend him highly and will call on him for future jobs."

"I am updating my rating for CA Electrical (Unfortunately Angi will not allow me to edit, so I am posting this as a new review). After posting my original review I was contacted by CA Electrical. The supervisor assured me that my experience was not their normal practice and that they normally made sure to call if there was a change of plans. I felt that they were earnest in trying to make things right, so I agreed to give them another chance. I ultimately decided to select them for my project to replace sub panel and install outlets. The crew was excellent and professional. They showed up on time, were professional and friendly, took extra care to ensure work spaces were left clean. Their workmanship was excellent and they did a great job of cleaning up some messy electrical wiring that had been there before. As an electrical engineer, I also appreciated the crews knowledge of code and ability to explain the technical side of the installation. I would use them again."

"I hired JC Electric (Jaime) for two projects: a panel upgrade and an EV charging installation. In both cases, Jaime was meticulous, reliable, and highly skilled, ensuring the projects were completed on time. Beyond his expertise, he is an honest and trustworthy professional. I would gladly work with him again on future projects and highly recommend his services."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Santa Clara, 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.
