"We are doing an electrical service upgrade on our house in Los Angeles. A big problem with this project is that the electric wires in our neighborhood are underground, so this project was more complicated. George from A&G was very responsive and kept us informed as the project progressed. The quality of work was excellent. Update: after four years of working through the LADWP for an electrical service upgrade, George was able to get this project complete. Thank you George and the rest of the team at A&G!"

"Mark at MW electric was outstanding. He took a difficult challenge and did a super great job installing a new transfer switch to my house electrical panel, which will allow me to hook up a generator and run my house if there is an electrical outage. I couldn't be happier, and he is great to work with and reasonable. I will hire him again."

"I have been using Power Up to handle all my electrical needs for over 4 years. Gabe has always completed all projects on time and as estimated, and he would let me know if there were any possible contingencies with the job. Frank and crew rewired a house for me at a fair price and were very detail with the work and helped identify what need to be to upgraded. Also, they installed a new house meter panel for me and handled all the inspections, with the permitted job being approved and finalized with SCE energizing the panel. Anytime I have electrical problems with my rental units I call Gabe and it’s taken care asap and at a fair price. I would highly recommend PowerUp, because they can be trusted to do a good job at a fair price."

"Very professional. Does not try to upsell Analyzed my electrical system, gave advice options. Another electrician, in contrast, after barely a look, said I needed a new $4K panel. (Home Advisor estimate for new panels 200 amps is $1800-$2500)"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Van Nuys, CA

While homeowners with substantial electrical knowledge might technically attempt a subpanel installation, most local building departments require permits and inspections for this type of work. Professional electricians understand local code requirements, can obtain necessary permits, and ensure the installation meets safety standards. Given the significant safety risks associated with incorrect electrical work, most homeowners benefit from hiring a licensed professional.

A standard subpanel installation takes an average of four to eight hours. This timeframe may extend if you're installing multiple subpanels or adding specialized circuits like those for spa equipment. Factors such as difficult access points, complex wiring paths, or permit processing times can also affect the overall project duration.

Adding a subpanel doesn't directly reduce electricity consumption or lower your utility bills. A subpanel simply redistributes power from your main panel to additional circuits. However, organizing your electrical system more efficiently may help prevent overloaded circuits and the associated problems. For actual cost savings, consider energy-efficient appliances and lighting instead.

The appropriate subpanel size depends on your specific electrical requirements. Consider the number and type of devices you'll be powering, potential future needs, and the capacity of your main electrical panel. An electrician can perform a load calculation to determine the most suitable amperage rating for your situation, ensuring you have adequate power without overpaying for unnecessary capacity.

A main electrical panel connects directly to your utility's power supply and contains your home's primary service disconnect. It distributes electricity throughout your entire house. A subpanel, by contrast, receives power from the main panel and redistributes it to a specific area of your home. Think of the main panel as the primary distribution point and the subpanel as a secondary branch that extends your electrical system's reach.

While electrical upgrades aren't as immediately visible as kitchen or bathroom renovations, they can contribute to your home's functionality and safety. Prospective buyers often appreciate updated electrical systems that can accommodate modern power demands. A properly installed subpanel that provides additional capacity for workshops, home offices, or future expansions could be an attractive feature for certain buyers, though the direct impact on home value varies by market.
