"We recently had Mega Power Electric Inc install a solar system and panels. The President and provided excellent communication all the way through the process. He even met with us after installation to explain the almost incomprehensible PG&E bill. Although not the least expensive bid, his was competitive and I felt he was as interested in educating me about solar and the various types of panels and inverter systems as he was in selling a system. He demonstrated how the array of panels would meet our energy needs and as opposed to some of the other companies, wasn't selling us more than we needed. We are very satisfied with our solar system and I highly recommended Mega Power Electric Inc."

"Greg was amazing to work with. He added some lights to some of the new rooms in our house and he mapped out the basement us to know what we should expect when we’re ready to finish it. He’s very knowledgeable and really wants to do right by his customers. Peak Energy is the only company I’ll have do electrical work on my house. Give them a shot. You won’t regret it."

"Neil, the sales rep, was knowledgeable and trustworthy. He fitted us with the exactly the right system for our needs. ILUM was quick to install the panels and they did an excellent job with the workmanship. The installers were very nice and professional. They helped push the PGE paperwork through in an expedite manner. I definitely recommend them."

"They are prompt, they let us know when they are coming out, tidy, they clean up after themselves, respectful, they educate us on how the system will work. Definitely low key when they came to the selling part. The program was explained to us and showed us options as to our financing, very knowledgeable, left us with a proposal without any pressure and they didn't over sell us."

"When I started, I planned to just insulate a small area over the ceiling of my laundry room, which was always chilly, and whatever else I could get for the money I had already put out for The Deal... Whereas Rudy clearly had in mind that the visit would be the beginning of a much bigger job,and my coupon only  the tip of the iceberg... not what I had in mind. But I thought I could at least hear him out,  and each project I asked about which I thought would have an astronomical cost, Rudy came back with what seem an amazingly reasonable price. whic included everything I could think of.  and when I asked for the next enhancement, that too seemed irresistably reasonable, and on and on we went til we got to the very large project described above.. At that point my whole house was insulated and ventilated as well as it could possibly be for a whole lot less than I would ever have thought possible, and I was just delighted. With each improvement, I was really afraid to ask, and then each time I got a nice surprise. I'm only sorry there was no way to insulate my vaulted ceilings, because they cover so much of my main living space.So then Rudy and his workman came back another day to do the work, they worked quietly and considerately, cleaned up perfectly, worked efficiently, were pleasant to have around, and everything went well.
There were just two problems during this transaction. The first was that Rudy could/would not accept a credit card for the job so I  had to get cash or check, which turned out to be an enormous problem for me at that precise moment in time.
The second was that in the process of installing the attic insulation, Rudy had broken the doorbell, wires  which run through the attic to a large clanger bell in the back. And he kept saying he would come back to fix it . But kept not coming. For weeks and weeks. This became very hot and hostile. Only when I threatened in a big way, did he finally show up, pay  for a new electric door bell I had purchased, and install it almost to completion.
.
Yet on the whole, Rudy was unusually pleasant and smart and sharp, good at explaining things, and a pleasure to do business with.

"Do make sure you and your contractor understand each other and explain exactly what you need and want.  Most often
old homes will have problems with dry rot, termites, old electrical and a good contractor lets you know you have these problems and will give you an estimate of what it will cost to fix them.  My opinion is if you are going to have a job done you should not mask problems.  We were fortunate not to have had dry rot.  The bones of our house was in very good condition.  However, our electrical panel was going to need replacing.  If you have your home already open to reside or whatever you are doing the extra time and cost is worth it. 

Do check for licesne that is current.  No what type of permits will be needed."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Strawberry-valley, 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.
