"Wilson Electric is very honest, reliable and responsive and reasonable. What a pleasure it was to deal with them.My rental had no heating. When I purchased it I was told it had heating in the ceiling and it didn't work. I also thought I would need to upgrade my circuit breaker box. Steve came out, checked it out and said all I needed was thermostats and two circuit breakers as the original ones for the bedrooms had been used for the washer and dryer hookups."

"J&I was hired to mitigate the aluminum wiring in my home by installing Alumiconn connectors in all electrical boxes. This work proceeded without a hitch as J&I had previous experience with Alumiconn connectors. J&I also always arrived at the work site on time, cleaned the work area after completing the work and provided detailed invoices showing labor and materials."

"I hired BK Electric to fix electrical issues and to install new outlets in my house as well as install cameras in and around the house. They were very prompt - came on time and very professional. The tech was clean - was very careful due to Covid and had a mask on. The work they did was incredible and I am satisfied for with their service and repair. The price compared to 3 other bids I had was lower than rest and I am glad I hired them I would definitely recommend BK Electric for all your electrical needs"

"We had some strange electrical issues going on that needed a professional diagnosis, so we had Powersmart come in to check things out. It turns out that a replacement electrical panel that was put in about 10 years ago was undersized, with each breaker being overloaded. The result was crossover between the "hot" and "cold" circuits. Powersmart put in a whole new box and breakers at a very reasonable cost. They were professional, but personable, came when they said they would and, in a first for me, actually completely cleaned up after themselves. The only reason I could not give them five stars was they not email me a receipt, as promised. I am contacting them about that this week."

"Wighton's is great about communicating with their customers.  They called the day before to remind us of the appointment, and then when the service tech was on his way, another call was made to let me know.
He was very polite and considerate.  He even put on shoe covers before coming in the house.  He took the time to explain exactly what he was going to do and why.  After he was done he went over the results of the tests and gave me copies of everything.  Everything was working fine and no repairs were needed or recommended.  He did suggest that we consider upgrading our thermostat, but there was no pressure to do so.

"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!"

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