"I had to have my house rewired and my breaker panel fixed due to two outlets smoking(my house is older and not wired correctly) Zach came over addressed my issues and we made a game plan he gave me 3 options and we decided on which worked best. Zach and Andrew worked so well in my house around my family and my dogs. They did an amazing job with everything they did in this house. I have to get any other worked done I will call back and request Zach and Andrew to come back. Very nice and knowledgeable about everything and patient. I can sleep much better now knowing all the wiring is safe and breaker panel. Highly recommend to anyone who needs work done."

"These guys were 1/4 the price (honestly 4 times less$) of 2 other estimates! They cared about me - the small peanut customer - that just needed a two hour fixture install! I wasn't the BIG MONEY job that the others care only about. Dont bother with ANY other electricians except AllStar Electric (these guys) Cleveland! Cole showed up on time and even gave me a credit! Thanks Cole! Praise God!"

"Excellent. Workers did an excellent job at a very reasonable price. James worked with me to develop a very reasonable approach to address past problems as well as installing the Tesla charger. The approach was cost competitive. I highly recommend Mills Electric."

"I had a surge suppressor fail on my air conditioning disconnect and caused a small fire Their electricians replaced the surge suppressor and the disconnect. While they were there I also had them replace the broken pipe on me meter socket. They were very professional timely and did great work. I will use them again if I need anything else repaired I highly recommend them for any electrical work."

"I had a breaker panel heat up and smelled real electronically bad. They replaced the panel and installed a hard wired fire alarm system to my house along with replacing multiple GFCI outlets. The job took a few days to complete and the two workers did an excellent job. Very nice guys and they took pride in their work. I would highly recommend them and will be calling them again if the need arises."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Chattanooga, TN

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.
