"Mike and his team did a great job upgrade our electrical panel from 100A to 200A. They did a great job and we appreciate their work and effort. Mike is kind, professional and always willing to help. He has answered me lots of questions and make adjustments based on my request. The process goes smoothly and inspection passed without any doubt. And their price is the best (among the 3 companies I quote)! Would highly recommended them for anyone needs a panel upgrade or electrical work."

"This is not the first project that Smart Electric has handled for me. I needed them to run CAT5 cabling from one end of the house to the other. The technicians did the work that I asked them to do, they arrived on time and they did an excellent job, not leaving until the wiring was completed tested and everything was up and running. A very professional organization, which I would hire again."

"We had In-House Electrical replace/upgrade our main panel as well as setup a generator hook-up and A/C outlet outside. Adam and Avery were phenomenal - they were thorough, kept in constant communication with me during the project to ensure things were being done as I liked, and left the place looking better than when they showed up. They'll be my first call in the future for any electrical work I need done."

"Pretty happy with Live Wire. quoted reasonable price for installing NEMA 14-50 outlet in my garage. Got my model-3 and the outlet is working. Live Wire did quality job and some company out there wants to charge twice as much for the exact same job Live Wire did."

"Superior Electric recently installed a smart panel with battery backup capabilities in my condo, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. The system works flawlessly and has already given me tremendous peace of mind. John and Sam were outstanding to work with. They brought a level of honest, integrity and commitment that truly stood out. They explained everything clearly, answered every question and made sure I understood everything. Their communication through the project was excellent. They walked me through the entire process ahead of time and set clear expectation from the day of installation. They also work on some weekends which is VERY helpful with my work schedule. This shows how dedicated they are to their customers. If you are looking for a team that delivers quality work, communicates well, and genuinely cares about doing the job right, John and Sam with Superior Electric are an excellent choice. I'm extremely happy with the results."

"They were professional, polite and careful to be considerate of the home. The job was an unexpected need to upgrade an electrical circuit to accommodate a hot water tank replacement. While I was not thrilled about the unplanned expense, I was very happy with the process with Seatown EH&A"

"On Site Electric offered a fair estimate and fulfilled the job promptly and efficiently. They were polite, professional and knowledgeable. They completed the job in well under the time projected. They arranged for inspection of the word and there were no issues noted on inspection. They were also great at taking time to label our new electrical panel for ease of locating circuits. From estimate to inspection I would indeed hire this company again for electrical work."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Arlington, WA

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.
