"We wanted to have a ceiling fan put into our living room. Unfortunately there was no existing fixture in the ceiling so we had to have an existing electrical wire tapped into and a new fixture/mount needed to be created. Not the most fun of jobs when it's 90 degrees outside and over 100 in the attack which is where most of the work was done. Chris didn't seem to bat an eye with regards to doing the job and dealing with the heat. He gave me a fair quote over the phone and after checking his reviews I hired him for the job. Chris and his assistant arrived on time. They got the job done very quickly and it was done perfectly. I would definitely hire Chris for future Electrical needs."

"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."

"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!"

"I recently had an electrician install an EV plug in my garage for my Tesla Model Y, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. He was the first to contact me and even came out right away to assess the job, which gave me confidence from the start. Others contacted me, but none of them took the time to come and evaluate everything in person. The electrician arrived on time for the installation, explained everything clearly, and made sure the work was done up to code. The job was clean and neatly finished, no messy wires or unnecessary holes. He also tested the outlet with me to confirm proper charging before leaving. My Tesla charges perfectly now, and I have peace of mind knowing it was done safely and correctly. Pricing was fair for the quality of work, and he was very knowledgeable about EV charging requirements. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to add an EV plug at home or any Electrical projects you have."

"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."

"Steve and his team were so prompt and polite with arrangements prior to the work. The Tesla charger was installed for less than the quote and professionally done in less time than quoted. We could not have been more pleased! Aaron deserves a call out👍 LS"

FAQs for electrical for home addition or remodel installation projects in Universal City, CA

Because installing coax outlets involves working around existing electrical wiring and confirming proper grounding, many homeowners prefer to hire a licensed electrician. A professional completes the work safely, secures the line behind the wall, and ensures the installation meets local code, which reduces the risk of damage or future repairs.

You still need a coaxial outlet for most cable-based internet services. The modem draws its signal from a cable line that terminates at a dedicated wall jack. Once the modem is online, your Wi-Fi router can broadcast the signal throughout the home, so the outlet’s location doesn’t affect wireless performance. If an existing jack is damaged or in an inconvenient spot, an electrician can move it or install a new one to maintain a strong, reliable connection.

Coaxial cable loses signal strength the farther it runs. A 50-foot length introduces noticeable loss, and a 100-foot stretch can drop the signal by roughly 30%. A weaker signal can result in a fuzzy picture or slower internet speeds. To maintain high performance, limit cable length whenever possible, select the correct cable grade, and route it efficiently. If your layout demands an exceptionally long run, an electrician can install an inline amplifier to boost the signal and maintain picture or data quality.
