ABK Electric

In the Julian area is it hard to find companies to respond to a rural area but this was no problem for ABK Electric.

As you can see from the project description this was not a simple service panel upgrade. I initially asked another Electrician who worked on my house previously to provide a bid but he lacked experience with 400 amp panels and struggled somewhat providing an estimate. Nick Kelly was recommended to me by a co-worker who previously hired Nick for a service panel upgrade and was happy with the results. This project was completed in two phases, about one month apart - 1) move and upgrade service panel, rerouting the old circuits to the new panel, and 2) install a 200 amp sub-panel downstairs. We encountered several delays before the project started (many questions from SDGand E about the upgrade to 400 amps). Nick and I worked closely with SDGand E to resolve the issues. Both the new and old exterior service panels were adjacent to bedroom walls and this required that Nick and his helper frequently worked inside the house and the attic. Nothing was damaged in the process and the house stayed relatively clean, in spite of the large amount of dirt that has collected in the attic over the last 75 years. The initial phase had several additional delays due to weather and scheduling issues with SDGand E but all things considered everyone worked very well together and I believe the whole thing was completed about as quickly as possible under the circumstances. The second phase went very smoothly. The City signed off both permits without any issues. In spite of the substantial delays and other obstacles we encountered along the way the cost did not change.
