"For a reasonable price, I got more than I asked for. Not only did I get my breaker box up to code and a generator plug, but my A/C wires mounted on the house, removal of the original breaker box from 1950s and the box that had been upgraded back in the late 70s. And Richmond was available via phone to help me thru the steps of getting my portable generator up and running. Great young man. Will call in future for electrical needs."

"Had need of an electrician after one of the rooms in my house completely lost power and I couldn't get it back on. I call a few other companies and the earliest they could see me was over a week. I called Payne Electric on the recommendation and they had a technician out within two hours. My technician, Frank, was considerate, knowledgeable, and walked me through exactly what was wrong, and within two hours my power was fixed and Frank was on his way. Payne Electric will certainly be my go-to company for electric work in the future"

"Toney was very polite and took the time to explain the problem made by the previous electrician. He worked quickly to fix the problem at a very reasonable price. He was very empathetic. I wish I had hired him the first time. He made sure the job was done right and it has been so nice having full electrical power. Iâ m very grateful. I highly recommend his services."

"Mr. Pope and his assistant from Barco Electrical did an excellent job. They performed a survey, provided a timely estimate and completed the work on an agreed upon schedule. The work performed was top notch. Installed the outlets and switch exactly where I needed them. Upon completion they cleaned up the job site and left everything neat and tidy. Would highly recommend them for any electrical needs and I would definitely use them again in the future."

"Very professional, on-time team who got the work done promptly, porefessionally and cleanly. I would recommend them if you are in a pinch. Hired to install an outlet in a fireplace for an electric conversion. Job required swapping out a fuse on the exterior panel (20 minutes), drilling a hole through to easy access pier/beam crawlspace (20 minutes), conduit, and plug. Total time for 2-man team, 2 hours. Cost $520. Typical outlet installation $100-150. This job shouldn't have cost parts plus $100 an hour for labor (2 men x 2 hours). Appreciate the professionalism of the team -- but would have skipped on them due to price if we hadn't been in a time crunch."

He came to my house on time when he said he was going to be there and explained what he was going to do and gave me a price and the next week he was back dong the job he said he would do. He is very professional. He was nice to my cat (which is a plus bc my cat can be mean) he gets back to you either by phone or text. I would recommend him to anyone!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Benton, LA

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.
