"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."

"I went with a local company that has been around for decades because I want an installer who will be here when I need service or follow-up in the future. Hegge Electric installed panels, subcontracted roofing preparation and completed all approvals in a timely manner with excellent workmanship. They completely refinished interior walls where drywall had to be removed for conduit, and you can't tell it was ever done! The system works perfectly and we are enjoying our green energy from a local company with a long reputation."

Eric, the owner of EM Electrical and also a licensed electrician as well as handyman provided excellent customer service and responsiveness to a problem at my tenant's house. He came within a day of when I called him and provided superior work in installing a new ceiling fan for the master bedroom.   The old fan was improperly installed and was not to safety code regulations and Eric provided a way in which the new fan could be installed to code and installed an electrical box in the wall which would provide the needed power for the new fan along installing the wiring along the beam to run the electric from the box to the fan in an attractive and safe manner.
Eric also provided additional value added services by trouble shooting a number of other issues that needed to be addressed such as installing a new thermostat,  trouble shooting the fridge ice maker that was not working and diagnosing the problem and what the solution would be, as well looking at problems with  the operation of the dryer and washer and garage door all for minimal extra cost as primarily value added service.
Eric is very professional and knowledgeable and provides very reasonable rates for quality service.  He will also let you know what needs to be done and if he is not the right person for a particular service he will refer you if desired to other reasonably priced and professional contractors who perform the service.

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