"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."

"I have been using Power Up to handle all my electrical needs for over 4 years. Gabe has always completed all projects on time and as estimated, and he would let me know if there were any possible contingencies with the job. Frank and crew rewired a house for me at a fair price and were very detail with the work and helped identify what need to be to upgraded. Also, they installed a new house meter panel for me and handled all the inspections, with the permitted job being approved and finalized with SCE energizing the panel. Anytime I have electrical problems with my rental units I call Gabe and it’s taken care asap and at a fair price. I would highly recommend PowerUp, because they can be trusted to do a good job at a fair price."

"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."

"We needed a NEMA 14-50 EV charger installed outdoors for an electric car, and got 3 quotes from Angie's List. Based on the 3 bids, it seemed certain we'd need a subpanel breaker box installed as our main breaker box was full and there were no empty slots to assign to the EV charger. However, only Tommy from Fairway offered up a potential solution within the existing breaker box, if they were able to source a hard to find quad breaker. It seemed unlikely, but would save a lot of hours (new box install / wiring under the house) and money. Sure enough, he source the part and made it happen. On top of that, they were professional and easy to work with. Highly recommend!"

"Great service. They ran wiring for two ceiling fans where there was no existing lighting and hung the fans all in just a few hours. Very good clean work and reasonable price. Will definitely recommend to friends."

"I recently hired an Electric Zone to replace an external outlet in my condo, and I was thoroughly impressed with their work. The electrician arrived on time, was professional, and completed the job quickly and efficiently. They took the time to explain the process and ensured that the new outlet was installed and functioning correctly before leaving. The electrician was also very friendly and easy to work with, which made the experience stress-free. I would highly recommend this electrician to anyone in need of electrical services."

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.
