"Fantastic! They were professional and thorough. They were even able to start earlier than originally quoted. They found some things that needed addressed that we were not aware of and are very grateful they were able to take care of it for us. When the county inspector came he was very impressed. He said 5 times out of 6 that he has them come back and he said they did everything perfect! We agree! We would definitely recommend them to anyone needing electrical work done. AAA+++"

"The Kilowatt work crew were prompt, courteous, and diligent. Our 1971 ranch needed aluminum wire replaced with copper, and the owner of Kilowatt understood how important this work was to our family's sense of security. They arrived when they said they would and they carefully assessed the wiring throughout the house. We are grateful for their expertise and the quality of their work. We will call on them again for future electrical work in our home."

Customers say: Quick response

"Amazing company! First, Chuck visited, assessed what was needed to be done. Cale then arrived this AM, spending most of the day wiring in a new transfer switch, routing the input socket to the outside of the home. I do not believe Iâ ve witnessed a more professional job. He then tested each circuit to ensure what we needed worked well with the generator. Gotta say, a huge kudo to Chuck for his friendly evaluation, but even greater praise for Cale, who wasted no time, was obviously an expert electrician, and was very friendly during the process, explaining all the steps. I will use them again for future projects, and give them 5 stars, easily recommending them to friends. Great job!"

"Jim Frazier is great, recommended without reservation. Did a number of complicated electrical jobs, including wiring for 220/110v outdoor equipment, indoor lighting addition, and revision of outdoor electrical circuitry including cable burial. Even came out Christmas Day to save our well pump from freezing! On time, friendly, and will source parts to get the job done. Thanks, Jim."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Asheville, 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.
