"William and his team did a fantastic job upgrading our meter panel. They took care of all the permits and had the job done on time and on schedule. They were extremely communicative throughout the entire process and I would use them for all electrical services in the future."

"For obvious reasons, we waited 3 months before writing this review. Started with a small job - replacing/repair conduit/wiring from house to garage, then replacing an electrical panel, finally rewiring the entire home. Each project was completed on time as specified. Power Up handled the entire permit and inspection process where needed without any delay. The estimates provided by Gabriel and Franklin were clear and detailed; both are extremely knowledgeable and offered excellent explanation and recommendations throughout the contracted work. The crew lead by Franklin, worked well together and efficiently with excellent cleanup at the end of each day. They were on time each morning for the 3 separate projects. The prices were not the lowest, but were competitive and reasonable for the efficiency and professionalism they offered. Power Up is highly recommended and we would definitely use them again. If you need an electrician, do have them give you an estimate."

He installed in-ground landscape lighting in my front and back yards under Japanese maple trees and did other major, significant electrical repairs in my garage and house. I will definitely use his electrical services again and will recommend him very highly to others."

"I hired Ken Johnson (Johnson Electric) to correct a number of electrical problems which were identified in a pre-sale home inspection. Among these was a replacement of an unsafe old circuit panel, all new power outlets, conduits and receptacles. Ken provided a quote which was very reasonable. Actual work was performed by two technicians. They arrived on time, completed the job the same day, and left the site in pristine conditioner. We were very satisfied with their work and based on my experience I am happy to recommend Johnson Electric for quality electrical projects in your residence."

"Fairway electric has helped me with so many things around my house. They've replaced many light fixtures and even helped me repair a rope light that my dog chewed. Most recently they ran power from an outdoor outlet on my house to the end of my driveway for an automatic gate. They did an immaculate job and everything was so clean and professional. Everyone I talk to there is super helpful, reasonable and experienced. I will continue to call on them for anything I need!"

"I reached out to Electric Zone for a few items we wanted in our home; a couple outlets installed in our closets and assistance in wiring a new pendant light. Haik from Electric Zone called us and arranged to come by the same day we reached out so that he could come by and provide an estimate, the price was fair so we decided to move forward with them. When Haik and his coworker arrived they discussed every step with us before proceeding, we were very happy with the options and works provided. Definitely recommend, we will be reaching out to Electric Zone again if we need more work in the future."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in South Pasadena, 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.
