"I couldn’t be happier with the work done on my brand-new sauna. The electrician was professional, punctual, and extremely knowledgeable. He took the time to make sure the heater was wired correctly, safely, and up to code, and he clearly takes pride in doing things the right way—not just the fast way. Everything was clean, organized, and well-explained, and the sauna works perfectly. It’s rare to find someone this reliable and detail-oriented. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing electrical work, especially for specialty projects like a sauna. Outstanding job from start to finish."

"I could not more strongly recommend MW Electric! First off, Mark showed up on the agreed upon time, both for the estimate and the work. He gave us the options and costs involved in doing a somewhat difficult job -- the location of the breaker box was not ideal -- and didn't push the most expensive option or try to upsell us unnecessary new equipment. We agreed on the best way for us and for he and his associate Aaron to go, and they took care of it in about 3 hours. No question that we'll call Mark for all future electrical needs!"

"Woodward Electric (Taylor) was amazing. His attention to detail and communications stand out when comparing him to other electricians. I had 2 other Angie star rated electricians that didn't follow up as promised. Another gave me a lower quote, but then kept putting me off. Taylor first greeted me with a smile and when the job was done he and I were both smiling. He's friendly and phone calls, text's and promises exceeded my expectations. I have utmost trust and confidence he will treat you well and charge a reasonable rate, with quality workmanship. Ken (Angie user)."

"Excellent! They were in and out with a crew in one day. We were replacing under kitchen cabinet fluorescent lights with LED. On one cabinet that sits aline, it gave the optical illusion that it was not as bright as the other sections. Will Martinez the owner, came over on Sunday @ 10 am to fix things South as that it looked as it should. All included in the original estimate and invoice. No Extra Charge. TRUE Customer SERVICE!!!!"

"I recently hired Gary to upgrade my electrical panel, install new backyard lighting, redo some outdated wiring throughout my home and install a sauna — and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the beginning, he was incredibly professional, communicative, and punctual. He took the time to walk me through the scope of work, explained everything clearly, and provided a fair and transparent estimate. The backyard lighting installation turned out beautifully and as for the wiring, he did a clean and thorough job, correcting issues I didn’t even know existed. It’s clear he takes pride in his work, and I really appreciated the attention to detail and safety. Highly recommend Gary if you’re looking for a skilled, trustworthy electrician. "

"Haik from Electric Zone was absolutely AMAZING!!! He agreed to come to my home after working hours. He tested the fuses to check which plug outlet was connected to the others. When he discovered an issue with one of the outlets in question, he explained everything so that it made sense to me, then replaced the outlet box on the spot at a very reasonable price. I live in an old apartment building with issues with outdated electrical systems. Haik educated me on the connections and safety recommendations that definitely gave me solid peace of mind. Haik, for sure, went above and beyond the call of duty with his service to me! I am so grateful to him, and I can not recommend him enough!!!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Sherman Oaks, 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.
