"

Got estimates from 3 electrical companies on Angie's List in December.  Ron Childers came to estimate my replacement panel and the grounding of the gas and cold water rods up to code. LED's bid was very reasonable and their warranty was for 3 years covering  labor and parts. One of the other company's price was the same; however, their warranty was for only 90 days.

Since I didn't have to work on Jan, 18, that date was chosen to complete the replacement . Gabe replaced my 1970s panel with a new GE panel - 100 amp - and updated the grounding work.  Job was completed in 5 hours. Very pleased with experience.

"Jose brought a team and they began working on replacing the smoke detectors, replacing the diverter and tub stopper - which turned into a trial as the diverter was an old piece and he had to go all over town to find a replacement. He installed electrical GFCI outlets in the kitchen, two baths, one in garage and one outside - and went above and beyond by replacing the receptacle housings as well. He also found a leak behind the tub and repaired it after asking permission. the cost was very reasonable and it would have cost me three times as much with a plumber. I would use Jose again and have recommended him to my realtor and other friends. Great job!"

"Excellent, This is a wonderful company that donated their time and services free to the church, Our church is small and with very limited resources. Texas Vargas Electrical Contractors saw the need and filled the need.  Because of his generosity we can now have outdoor events & activities, without the electric breakers tripping, and can even serve cooked food.  I can't give enough compliments or praises for an awesome job well done.
I would recommend Texas Vargas Electrical Contractors to everyone, he is dependable, professional, honest, hardworking, well spoken, knowledgeable of his trade, and is licensed and insured.
I have used other electricians in the past and was unsatisfied, you won't be disappointed with Texas Vargas Electrical Contractors.

"From the night time demonstration to the installation everything went extremely well. Everyone from the office customer service to installation was very efficient. The areas were cleaned up before they left. We are very pleased. The lighting is beautiful. We will definitely use them again for our backyard when ready to do so."

"Gary Frith (Houston Handyman) did an awesome job! We had rotting trim around an outside door, 4 posts supporting a patio roof, and surrounding chimney. Gary replaced or repaired all the rotting trim pieces (using Hardie-plank for replacements). Gary worked quickly and efficiently. When job was complete, trim was better than new (won’t rot again because of HardiePlank). Caulking and painting is top-notch! Highly recommend Houston Handyman for handyman services."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Bay City, TX

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.
