"My previous electrician had sadly done a terrible job performing my panel upgrade from 100a to 200a. Also, the permitting stages were not followed and I was unfortunately not compliant because of it. After shopping around for many electricians, I eventually met Mike and knew he was the guy that I was going to work with. Mike explained every detail one step at a time. My project was a large project since I was to not only rewire my 200amp panel, we had to fix grounding, water bonding, and also Trench 4 feet deep for SDGE to upgrade our line from 100a to 200a as well. This was a long and stressful process that became super easy because of the effort and work put in by Mike and his team. Mike was here for all of the permitting stages whenever the city or SDGE was here, so that he could answer all their questions and concerns directly. Mike will continue being my electrician from now on. I highly suggest MIke and his team for all of your electrician needs. They are very quick to answer phone calls, text messages, explain all processes and next steps. Super fortunate to have Mike on my home improvement team."

"Excellence Electric is just that: excellent on every level. They did a panel upgrade and install of a level 2 electric car charger. The company is family owned (father and son). They did a tremendous job at a very good price. Their attention to detail and workmanship was remarkable. They had to run conduit up the back of my house. They matched the paint at Home Depot that perfectly blended with our house color. Such personable, honest people. Ray jr. told me as he was walking from the job: any problems, or concerns, we’ll take care of it no questions asked. I could not more highly recommend!"

"I got a few estimates to get more power out to my studio. Everyone quoted me about 4K to upgrade my panel and get dedicated line out to my studion. These guys were to only ones that looked for a better/more economical solution. I sent a pic of my panel and he remembered that I upgraded my kitchen a while back but noticed that my electric stove had it's own dedicated line. He asked me, did you convert to gas when you remodeled? I said yes and he said, great, we take the line that was dedicated to the stove and we use that. It saved me $1500 and it worked perfectly. I would absolutely hire again!"

"Erik was prompt, polite and was willing to help diagnose my back up solar/inverter issue, which falls out of his usual scope of work with house wiring. I would enthusiastically recommend him for home wiring issues."

"Matt and Vince were absolutely amazing. Initial quote discussion was incredibly helpful, talked through all the options, listened to my ridiculous ideas and told me why they wouldn't work but how to achieve what we were trying to do another way. We decided to go with Trout specially because the two of them were happy to help and educate, and get us the work we wanted, within budget, while setting us up for the future more expensive work. Matt and Vince both came promptly, worked hard and gave us updates throughout the day. They made sure the work was done exactly as we wanted, everything was cleaned up afterwards, and all was explained. We will definitely recommend Trout Electric, and specifically Matt and Vince, to anyone who needs any work done."

"Fantastic outcome! I was initially convinced replacing my circuit breaker panel would solve my many house electrical problems. Owner Bill convinced me the intelligent/logical approach would be to trouble shoot everything before committing to same. Their staff identified several problems and professionally fixed everything at a very reasonable price. I expect to eventually upgrade the circuit breaker panel but will cross that bridge when necessary. In the meantime, very happy with how fine everything is working now. Wonderful Experience!!!"

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