"Friendly, fast and professional customer service. Our electrician, Martin Wall, as dispatched quickly. He installed fans, lights, and switches. We signed up to the CMC Electric annual electrical inspection program and added additional surge protection to the electrical panel of our newly built home. Martin is prompt, professional, courteous, efficient and informed us of what he was doing every step of the way. Following his work, a circuit grounding fault caused one circuit to shut-off. Martin came out on a Sunday to correct the problem. During electrical inspection he found that the electrical contractors of our new home had not grounded the electric panel, even though the Town of Cary NC had conducted multiple inspections. Had this gone undetected, my wife and I faced possible extensive damage to our electrical wiring or possible house fire. I took this matter up with our builders and their electrical contractor who installed a clamp and connected the panel to the garage rebar grid. Kudos to Martin and CMC Electric LLC! I cannot recommend them more highly!"

"E-A1 Pros did an excellent job with the installation of my pendent lights. They were professional when reaching out and provided confirmation of appointment. The technician was on time and very experienced. He ensured that I was happy with the lights while he was in the process so that he could adjust as needed. He even offered to take out the boxes, but I told it was not needed. I would definitely use them again for future projects!"

"I had two outlets installed high on rafters to power garage door openers. As this was a motor circuit it required wiring back to the panel and installation of a new breaker. All done to a high degree of professionalism - even the outlet boxes were installed using a level to be sure they were correctly aligned. I requested Phixser do this job after they had helped me wire up some security cameras by pulling the cables through a very constricted space in my attic which I had thought impossible - and they did that job perfectly also. Highly recommended."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Apex, NC

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.
