"He took an outdated, challenging Zinsco electrical panel and replaced it along with the old wires. The metal house siding was reinstalled and looks so professional! Jeremy has earned every dollar for making my home a safer place to live."

"Steve and his crew of electricians did a fabulous job. They basically replaced the entire house’s electrical, all new switches and outlets in addition to all the new light fixtures in every room. They showed up on time, did what they said they would and addressed every issue encountered in the rehab. In addition, Steve was great helping me decide what to put where. An overall excellent experience. I would HIGHLY recommend Warner Electric for any electric job."

"We had a complicated electrical problem with wiring and circuits in our kitchen as a result of the original house wiring, at time of construction, was not done properly. The problem was compounded by additional wiring add-ons and circuits patched in by various electricians over the years. The first electrician we hired to fix the issues left saying: "sorry, I can't find the problem", but charged us for their time anyway. We then hired Shawn from Pro City Electric. Wow, what a difference. It was immediately clear that trouble shooting is one of Shawn's strong points. He quickly found the root cause, and was able to explain the complex issues in a clear and concise manner that I could understand. Shawn then effected solutions that not only fixed the problem, but improved the electrical operation. His solutions were logical and actually saved us money. We just can't say thanks enough and would recommend Pro City Electric to anyone."

"Fernando did an excellent job and I am keeping his contact info for future needs. He is very professional and shows up on time. He made wonderful suggestions on adding power for outdoor lighting and repair and improvement of a switch. Hi recommendation involved hiding the wiring by hooking the 2 devices up to a double switch on an inside wall. Other bidders suggested attaching almost 20 feet of wiring to the exterior of my house. He explained everything very clearly. He noticed an outdoor outlet that wasn't rain proof and suggested changing that out. Finally, his price was very fair and lower than other bids. I highly recommend FH Electric for any electric needs."

"Chris did a wonderful job in my project. He installed light fixtures and replaced electrical switches for me. He went over and above, cleaning up a messy wiring situation that he discovered. Chris was professional, had great attention detail and extremely conscious of the work surroundings. He was very kind and considerate. I highly recommend Chris for anyone who needs electrical work."

"We had contacted five electricians to replace and upgrade our circuit panel. Two did not show and two gave outrageous prices. Zarcos' price was very reasonable. He was on-time, efficient, knowledgeable about new circuits for solar panels, professional, and speedy. He completed the project in less than a day and a half. We highly recommend him.

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