"I had hired these guys before with a good experience, so I gave it another shot. I know a little too much for my own good, so I had a few questions before the job was done regarding supplies that I needed. I wanted to buy my own materials because I'm nuts. They had no problem with this and told me exactly what kind of wire to buy via text message. Mike was sent over and I explained everything. He needed to fish a lot of wire down under the kitchen floor to the laundry room and then under the finished basement ceiling about 25 feet to the breaker. This guy can fish wire like a boss. He only had to cut 2 holes in my ceiling. I think I'm just going to cover them with access panels for the next time wire needs to be run to the breaker. I like Murphy because everything is easy. I can just book a block of time with fairly transparent pricing and they come by and knock it out. And - they don't give you any problems about having your own materials so an intermediate DIY'er like me can get some specific stuff."

"The contractor was excellent. We signed the contract on September 11, 2015 and the system was fully operational on November 20, 2015.  My house is all electric,( heat pump, well pump, the works ).  Over the winter our highest bill was $ 220.00. Over the summer most bills were about $9.00. One month, AEP actually owed us $15.00.  Given the size of our house (1400 sq. ft.) and our usage, we expect to reach break even in 4.5 years.  Given that the panels are good for 25 years, I'll realize a profit for 20.5 years. This means panels are actually going to be earning money for me? Getting solar panels is a no brainer.


I whole heartedly recommend RES."

"I had hired an electrician in the past to replace an outside electrical box and was surprised to learn that the industry average for any home visit was a flat $300.  When I saw the Angie's List special $99 for $200 worth of work, I jumped on this great deal.  I only had two minor issues to resolve...I had recently replaced the light bulbs on the front porch lights and with a couple weeks one stopped working, I assumed there was a loose wire.  The tech removed the fixture and determined the connections were good and only needed to replace the bulbs.  And I had a light switch in the kitchen that was not working, the tech replaced the switch.  When the work was complete the tech told me that I exceeded the $200 worth of work and his flat fee for the work performed was $279, plus $5 for the switch.  I ended up paying an additional $84 for this deal.

"Craig helped me take a fresh look at my yard. I live on a corner lot and our house is the center of the neighborhood.  There is a large redwood tree on the corner that really stands out.  Craig made sure the winter did not affect the angle of the lighting and that all lights and wiring worked properly.  Craig installed an extensive lighting system over a year ago.  He installed a system of "up" lights to illuminate large and small trees (japanese maples) around my house.  He installed blue lights in the back that has made a dramatic designer affect.  I love it!  One of the blue lights shines through my kitchen window casting a soft blue light in the kitchen.  It's stunning and my friends are always amazed.  My house has large columns, he illuminated each column for a dramatic affect, including my very attractive one of a kind front door.  The door now really stands out from the street.  My house is two story with a complex roof line.  He installed lighting on the roof to outline the house indicating the overall striking details of the roof, as well as the previously mentioned columns.  For safety he installed lighting along two walking paths.  Now the postman and delivery people don't have to stumble to find the front door.  I cannot overstate the dramatic affect it has made for our home AND the entire neighborhood.
Craig is a designer at heart and electrician/outdoor specialist ...the total package.  Previous outside lighting companies I asked for quotes wanted to sell me one of their "plans," their standard boring lights.  But Craig has a designer's eye and makes it really special.  Not necessarily flashy (but he can do that too), but elegant and inviting.  Plus the exterior lighting makes my home much safer.  I have a security system but the added lighting increased my sense of privacy and security.
Craig's son is a great part of his team.  He is quickly learning his father's business end and flair for design.  He knows how to install the equipment and explain how it all works together.  They are a dynamic father/son team.

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Abingdon, VA

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.
