"Ted and his crew were prompt, professional and got the job done in the time estimated. They understand how to deal with permitting, inspections and scheduling each step in the process. Specifically, Ted is very familiar with local nuances in each city, related to inspections. My house, being an older structure with older wiring and an oddly placed riser pole, was not a straight forward project, but it was no problem for the crew. They completed the work as planned, kept a clean job site and were very courteous throughout the project. I was very pleased with the work done by the Apollo and would hire them again and highly recommend them to others."

"I hired JC Electric (Jaime) for two projects: a panel upgrade and an EV charging installation. In both cases, Jaime was meticulous, reliable, and highly skilled, ensuring the projects were completed on time. Beyond his expertise, he is an honest and trustworthy professional. I would gladly work with him again on future projects and highly recommend his services."

"Excellent service. I needed to upgrade my electric panel, Ben did an excellent job very professional. Installing switches, circuit breaker panels, relays, and other electrical control and distribution equipment was the right call. I look at several electricians with reasonable prices and CA Electrical Group was definitely the right call. I will highly recommend CA Electrical Group to all my friends. What was important to me was his daily commitment to start and finish the job the dates we agreed on."

"Yep, Indaspec is a five start company. They were responsive and professional. The system we got has boosted our 2003 system and cost 1/5th the price. It will pay itself off in 3 years, possibly less. They were efficient in the installation - took about 1.2 days. The connection between our system and the app on our phones is super easy and now my husband and I have been high- fiving each other once we find out how much the new system is producing. Get the solar, Guys! This company is a gem! The office manager is a sweetheart and the bidding process was easy. The installer was a man of few words for me (I didn't really know anything about the tech part), but took time to speak to my curious and informed contractor husband. He was patient and explained everything so that my husband felt satisfied that he was doing right by our beloved and somewhat coddled home."

"This company has my business from here on out from the first phone call to the end of the job or should I say jobs they have taken care of me and made me feel like I was being taken care of. Itâ s very hard to trust all contractors cause not all contractors care about what they do as much as about the check at the end these guys are different. They go out of their way to make sure that you are satisfied with what they are doing and there are no unnecessary change orders at all. I like to thank you guys personally for always making sure my knee your met."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Mountain View, 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.
