"Were they everything you wanted and more? I got exactly what I needed done. I had an old electrical panel that was over 70 years old. It needed replacement and Nelson Electric did their job. Did they job get done right and efficiently? Yes. The biggest challenge was getting the permits. I had to wait two months for my city to approve the work but once done, Nelson Electric done their work right. The owner tried his best to minimize the downtime for no power in my house. The main work took about three hours and I was back with electricity again. How was customer service? Customer service is top notch. The owner acted professional and he even looked professional by wearing clean clothes and he even combed his hair to look presentable. I didn't feel I was working with an average guy on the street. I felt I was working with a professional."

"REVIEW: Went on Angi’s website to find a qualified, certified and licensed electrician to put in extra outlets in my garage, so I can plug in a refrigerator and a freezer without my breaker tripping. Almost immediately, Angi referred Buzz Electrical Service via email and via text message. It was quickly followed by a text message from Robert of Buzz Electrical introducing himself, and letting me know his availability to come out to look at my project and give me an estimate. Very quick and easy referral service that I will use again. Robert came out the next morning to look at what I needed to get done, some immediately, and some future projects. Before he came out, he assured me that there were NO FEES for him to come out, look at my project(s) and give me an estimate; some contractors require service fees just to come out and do an estimate. Robert looked at two different projects and gave me two separate estimates; I found both estimates very reasonable, even coming in below what I expected based on my internet research. I decided to do the additional outlets in the garage immediately, and deferred the one in the upstairs bathroom. Robert scheduled me the day after next. On that day, he came in on time as scheduled. He brought all his tools and materials for the job. One thing I noticed was how clean and meticulous he was with his work. He covered his work area and cleaned up afterwards. As he worked, he patiently explained to me what he was doing, so that I would have a very good understanding of the work he did, which may come handy years later should I have a need to know what he did then. After he completed the work, Robert showed me the four new outlets were working as he tested them while I observed. He plugged in the freezer and refrigerator in their individual outlets, now with each one having their own breaker switch. He also labeled my panel box for the new outlets. Overall, on a scale of 1 to 5, I give Robert 5 Star ratings on quality of work, professional conduct, timeliness, and reasonableness of service charges. I highly recommend him to all my friends and family and will definitely call on him again for any electrical projects."

"Julian called immediately after I had placed my request. He was able to give me a quote right then so we scheduled for Tuesday between 8 and 9. I received a phone call at 7:54 AM from Julian who was here and ready to go. He did a fantastic job installing my ceiling fan, and was very considerate of my space. I will definitely call Hunts Electric for any other electrical needs that arise."

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