Question 1

How quickly can you respond to electrical emergencies in Perris?

Accepted Answer

For genuine emergencies—power outages, sparking outlets, burning smells, exposed wires—we typically arrive within 60 minutes anywhere in Perris. We keep our electricians available 24/7 because electrical problems don't respect family schedules. Call (951) 550-4832 for emergency service.

Question 2

Do you handle permits and inspections for electrical work?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely. We pull all necessary permits through the City of Perris Building & Safety Department, and we schedule and coordinate inspections. Permit fees are included in your quote—no surprises. You don't need to visit city offices or deal with bureaucracy. We handle it from start to finish.

Question 3

Are you licensed to work in Perris?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We hold a valid California C-10 electrical contractor license, which allows us to work throughout California including all of Riverside County and the City of Perris. We're also fully insured with both general liability and workers' compensation coverage.

Question 4

Do I need to upgrade from 100-amp to 200-amp service?

Accepted Answer

Most 100-amp services can't safely support modern residential electrical demands. If you have central air conditioning, modern kitchen appliances, electric vehicle charging, or plans to add any of these, upgrading to 200-amp service is strongly recommended.

Question 5

What if my panel is Federal Pacific or Zinsco?

Accepted Answer

Federal Pacific (FPE) and Zinsco panels are documented fire hazards that need immediate replacement. Insurance companies often require immediate replacement of these panels as a condition of coverage. Even if your insurer hasn't flagged it yet, replacement eliminates serious fire risks and prevents future insurance complications.

Question 6

Do panel upgrades require permits?

Accepted Answer

Yes, always. Electrical panel upgrades require permits from your local building department. We handle the entire permit process—application, submission, fees, and coordination with inspectors. Never accept unpermitted panel work.

Question 7

What's the typical cost for a panel upgrade in Perris?

Accepted Answer

Panel upgrades typically range from $2,500 to $4,500 depending on the specifics—current panel condition, distance from meter to panel, accessibility, and whether we need to upgrade the meter base. We provide free on-site estimates with detailed written quotes before we start any work.
