"Could not be any happier! Very nice and professional and his customer service cant be beat. This is a father and son business. My first time using him and I would give him 1000-stars. He was prompt, explained everything and I found his prices to be good and fair. They spent 6+ hours installing my generator to the house electrical panel and job was clean, nicely labeled and we are ready for the next SCE shut down. The quality of the products used was outstanding. I would highly recommend his services to anybody needing electrical work. When he left the job site, it was absolutely immaculate and cleaned to perfection.. They take PRIDE in their business and it shows."

"This past winter we came to terms that our home needed an expensive upgrade. Electrical panels. My husband and I shopped around, like most we wanted quality at a great price. Sergio was very upfront with us, as a busy working family thats very important. During our consultation visit he was very patient with all of our questions. Also gave us good ideas for future upgrades. Home improvement are typically stressful, so having a patient and understanding professional helps the process so much easier."

"We had some strange electrical issues going on that needed a professional diagnosis, so we had Powersmart come in to check things out. It turns out that a replacement electrical panel that was put in about 10 years ago was undersized, with each breaker being overloaded. The result was crossover between the "hot" and "cold" circuits. Powersmart put in a whole new box and breakers at a very reasonable cost. They were professional, but personable, came when they said they would and, in a first for me, actually completely cleaned up after themselves. The only reason I could not give them five stars was they not email me a receipt, as promised. I am contacting them about that this week."

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