"Ivan was GREAT! He went above and beyond what the job required. I had an unorthodox issue with an electric reclining chair that was not working. No other electrician even bothered to come take a look. Ivan said I'll see if it's something I can fix. I won't charge you just to look at it. That alone showed that he is not the average run in the mill electrician. He was willing to just see if it was even something he could fix! He fixed our initial issue THEN took time to look at our other chairs. He didn't have to do that! Again above and beyond!! He identified another potential issue with another chair and put some preventive measures in place to prevent the same thing from happening on that chair! All I can say is we are extremely pleased with the work that was done! Professional, courteous and above and beyond service! Thank you, Ivan! We will definitely use him again and recommend him to our friends and family! Two thumbs way up!!"

"A team removed a leaking tank hot water heater and replaced it with a tankless hot water heater. My house is 45 years old and all projects end up being a bit more difficult then on a newer house. The team assessed the existing infrastructures for two HVAC units, a gas dryer, and washer pipes in the utility room. They came up with a plan that Worked around all these vents and wires. They ordered the unit and venting and began working. It was a two day installation because of the Covid delay on shipping the item. After removing the old tank, they installed the new wiring and turned my water on for use in the house overnight. The rest of the project went very smoothly. Ryan stayed with the job the entire time. The owner and another technician came by periodically to see if anything was needed. I couldn t be happier with the job. They cleared all job materials at the end of each day. They are very courteous and knowledgeable. I highly recommend them for anyone replacing hot water heaters, cleaning laundry drains , and repairing leaking toilets because after they finished the hot water heater, I hired them to come back and do two additional jobs at my house."

"Fred was the first to call after I contacted Angie's List. Came out within an hour or so and repaired the broken receptacle. Charge of $115 was fair with such response time! I was able to finish my holiday lighting project and get the lights on that night. Would call him if I ever have another emergency project! Nice man who got the job done!"

"Mark did a great job & fixed my storm damaged electric box connection. The damage occurred before sunrise saturday morning & they were able to make an assessment & provide an estimate later that day. Unfortunately damage over weekend means parts stores aren't open & city inspector can't make it out till monday. So all repairs were done on monday & late that night Duke was finally able to reconnect service. Why can't these storms pass through on monday - thursday! Leave me weekend alone!"

"I normally don't write reviews but I have to compliment the service and professionalism that I received from Brian, Roger and Ryan. I had a series of LED and pendant lights installed in my kitchen along with a chandelier in my breakfast area and dining rooms. I also had a ceiling fan installed in my family room. The price was extremely reasonable and the job was completed in a timely and satisfactory manner. I would encourage anyone who has electrical problems or work to be done to contact Copper Electric. You won't be disappointed."

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