"I'm very happy with the electric service change Woodward Electric did at my 80-year-old house. They replaced the electric panel, riser, and all the old wiring in the walls. Plus, Taylor Woodward is great to work with."

"As usual with Garafano Electric, everything went fine -- way more than fine, actually. We have used them for years on various upgrades to our 1920's mediterranean home. William, the owner, is great about explaining our options and always finds the best and most efficient way to work within the confines of an older two-story duplex on a sloped lot that has serious access issues. Pricing is fair, they have never failed to show up on the appointed day, and on time, and complete the job as agreed. They have never disappointed for over 20 years, and I recommend them without hesitation!"

"We hired Mr. Electric of Woodland Hills for a panel upgrade and installation of new outlets during a home remodel. The electrician arrived on time, explained the work clearly, and walked us through the options without pushing unnecessary upgrades. The job was completed efficiently, and everything passed inspection on the first try. The crew also cleaned up after finishing, which we appreciated. Overall, the experience felt professional and straightforward, and the electrical system has been working flawlessly since the upgrade."

"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’re so happy we were recommened Honeybee Electirc. Hector upgraded our electrical panel and also installed the connector for an EV charging station. The whole job went really smoothly from start to finish. Everything passed Edison inspection with no problems, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. He was friendly, professional, and just really easy to work with. What we appreciated most was that he didn’t just do the panel upgrade and leave, he also took the time to help organize and clean up our electrical system overall, which was above and beyond what we expected. It’s hard to find someone who does great work and is also kind and personable, but he really checked all the boxes. We’re very happy with the work and would definitely hire him again and recommend him to others."

"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!"

"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 Thousand Oaks, 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.
