Service overview
What to know about this electrical service
An electrical service upgrade increases or modernizes the equipment that supplies a home, business, shop, or facility. The right scope depends on the existing service condition, calculated load, future equipment, utility connection, meter and main arrangement, overhead or underground conductors, panel and feeders, grounding and bonding, working clearances, permits, and utility requirements.
Common problems
Reasons customers request this service
- The existing service lacks capacity for a shop, ADU, pumps, EV charging, HVAC, solar, batteries, or other planned loads
- An outdoor meter-main, mast, underground raceway, conductors, or grounding system is obsolete or damaged
- Several structures need a coordinated feeder, subpanel, and load plan
- Long routes increase conductor, voltage-drop, trenching, and pull-point requirements
- PG&E capacity or service requirements affect the proposed location and equipment
- The project needs phasing or temporary measures to keep wells, refrigeration, gates, or essential circuits available
How Elite helps
Diagnosis, planning and professional electrical work
We review current and future loads across the property, the PG&E service, meter and disconnect arrangement, overhead or underground route, panels and feeders, grounding, structures, equipment locations, and County permit path. The proposal defines the customer-owned service and distribution work while separating utility work and fees, excavation, concrete, paving or landscape restoration, engineering, structural work, and temporary power when those items are outside the base scope.
