"I was looking for someone to replace two passive attic fans with powered fans and add a third...plus correct a faulty ceiling fan circuit. I put this off for a year thinking it too expensive and dealing with contractors a hassle. Not true with these folks. A great crew, Robert & Fernando. I'd been concerned with and part of my putting off the project was worrying it would go over budget once they got into it-it's an old house. So I asked them to stop by first to inspect and if no problem found provide a written estimate. They did it with a smile. Professional competent polite no sales pitch. I'm not big on sales pitches. After the inspection we moved forward with the work. They were on time cleaned up every scrap of fan packaging and wire clippings and vacuumed the work areas. They took away not only the old fans but the boxes for the new ones came in. They rewired the ceiling fan now it's much better than when originally installed. JK Flores checks all the boxes. The best."

"From the beginning, the experience with Raymond was fantastic. He asked me for pictures of the current electrical panel, and with some additional information, he was able to provide an all-inclusive quote. He handled the permits and coordinated between the city and the power company. He was always very responsive and proactive. His team communicated clearly and was focused on getting every detail done right. I would hire Raymond in a heartbeat for any/all electrical work."

"Impressed with Luis & team. First installed new outlets for a TV, moved an outlet, installed outdoor lights, then upgraded my electric panel. Each time great work, very reliable, and I know it’s fairly priced."

"I called them about an electrical panel upgrade and they responded immediately. They looked at some pictures and heard our situation, did their calculations, and it turns out that we didn't need an electrical panel upgrade. Other companies might have done the calculations but gone along with us thinking we needed work done to get some business, but these guys were honest and upfront and ended up saving us a good amount of money."

"Manuel, Adrian and Oscar showed up as scheduled, did a great job “wiring in” my LED bathroom mirrors. They were unable to resolve my fireplace issue after determining it is a gas, not electrical problem. They cleaned up after themselves and were generally nice to have in my home."

"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 just got off the phone with Steve, who quickly responded to my request for an electrician I made on Wednesday, day before Thanksgiving. He requested we talk on the phone and he could possibly assist with a quick fix. Everything he asked me to check and do, I already had done on the night I lost power. However, I went to the circuit breaker, telling him I was planning to shut down everything and power every switch back up again, hoping I missed something. As I did, I felt one switch was slightly wiggly, as he suggested I possibly would find. I purposely pull that switch off, then on. As he correctly predicted and suggested, all power restored. He stayed on the phone as I checked every wall outlet affected, finding each working. His knowledge, experience and honesty on a quick fix was priceless. He was quick to help with nothing attached or an agenda for a review, I suggested it. Thank you for your help and patience, having to listen to my story on how I blew up my walls."

"Joe's Electric returned my care within minutes of me contacting them. I had a technician in my home in 1.5 hrs. Who quickly identified and fixed the problem within 35-45 minutes. They saved me from losing a whole day of work and it was worth the cost vs loss I would have incurred."

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