"Getting a whole house generator is a huge investment so I shopped around and got 4 quotes because of the wide range of cost estimates. Other people said the cost "would be around" an amount, and Brandon gave me a detailed exact price. Had people tell me different things about where I could put the generator. Brandon came out and explained everything and said I could put the generator where I wanted it. His crews (electrical, gas) were professional, appeared to know exactly what they were doing, worked efficiently, and left the job site very clean. Brandon provided everything I wanted--he has a long track record of installing generators, has been in business for many years, offered a 10 yr warranty, offers an annual check-up plan, and made sure I was happy with everything."

"The structure we had is older and the electrical has been an issue for years. We must’ve had 5 or more companies come out to “fix it,” only to leave us a big bill and the issues resurfacing after a short while. Coast came in and was diligent, finding issues everyone else overlooked. They will get the call moving forward."

"Excellent. I received 4 other quotes from Angi recommended electricians. Mc-All quote was best, however for me it was how comfortable I felt working with work supervisor Alonzo. He was easy going, very courteous, and his workmanship was excellent. He did everything quickly and professionally with his assistant and was on time every visit with excellent comm's. Very knowledgeable and sharp. They made all arrangements with Cleco and parish inspector for entire panel replacement with new breakers and job was completed in 4 hours from start to finish. After working with many different extremely expensive electricians in the past, I have finally found a company I trust that will give me an honest/fair price. I will not work with any other electrician again. I highly recommend Mc-All Electric."

"I had received quotes from several different electrical companies to upgrade my panel box. This company had the best price offer. The person who came out here to upgrade my panel was extremely knowledgeable and speedy. I?ve saved this number for all my future needs."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Akers, LA

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.
