"They ran into some weird problems with my old 1978 ground wires and ancient fuse box. Didnt slow 'em down. They had the whole thing ripped out, replaced with a better one, rotohammered and re-grounded my house, showed and told me what they were doing and what to expect. They worked with me to get my estimate to what made the most sense. Advised about fixtures and future proofing. 11/10 Mike an Nick were great. So good in fact, I'm setting up some more work. They were experienced, they were nice (fun even!)and no egos! Thats an almost impossible combo."

"I asked for someone to come and find out what was causing our ceiling light to flicker. Technician Colby determined we still have some knob and tube wiring that was causing LED lights not to work consistently. He also checked our electrical outlets and other light fixtures and determined most of the rest of our wiring is ok. He was here to troubleshoot. Someone will need to return to do the work later."

Installing electrical service to a detached garage costs between $1,000 and $3,800, with the exact price depending on your specific requirements and the distance from your home. This project may include a subpanel installation if you need multiple circuits or higher capacity. The complexity of your electrical needs, the garage's intended use, and your location all influence the total investment required for a properly installed and code-compliant system.
Most local building departments require permits for electrical work connecting separate structures, with permit fees ranging from $25 to $200. Professional electricians are licensed to perform this type of work in most states, and they often handle the permit process as part of their service. Skipping required permits could potentially create issues with insurance coverage or future property transactions, making proper documentation an important consideration.
For safety and legal reasons, hiring a licensed electrician is highly recommended for connecting electrical service to a detached garage. Electrical work involving separate structures requires specialized knowledge of codes, proper materials, and safety protocols. While homeowners might handle certain aspects like trenching to save on costs, the actual electrical connections should be performed by qualified professionals to ensure safety, reliability, and compliance with local building regulations.
The timeline for installing electrical service to a detached garage spans from several days to a couple of weeks, depending on project complexity. The process includes planning, obtaining permits, trenching, electrical installation, and any necessary finishing work. Weather conditions, contractor availability, and permit processing times can all affect the overall schedule. Your electrician can provide a more specific timeline based on your property's unique characteristics and project requirements.
Underground electrical installations for detached garages tend to use conduit systems rather than direct burial cables, as conduit provides superior protection for the wiring. While specific installation methods may vary based on local codes and site conditions, professional electricians often recommend running electrical lines underground via conduit for detached structures. This approach helps ensure long-term durability and simplifies any future maintenance or modifications to the system.
