"James Barlow of Jason H. Pope came to the house to look at a breaker/wiring problem around the pool pump. I went online late Wednesday afternoon, described the problem, and received a response from Pope Electrical. I sent them pictures (the breaker started smoking and did not trip). James arrived early Friday morning and figured out the problem pretty quickly. Aside from replacing the old breaker with a new one, he took the cover off the pump (which was working fine - 1 year old pump) and noticed the loose wiring as well as the pump not having a ground wire. Pump vibration had loosened the screw that held the wire down. The pump terminal block already had cracks in it, adding to the loose wire issue. James figured out the related issues, made parts replacements, and added the grounding wire. Took about an hour and a half as he troubleshooted everything in front of me. New breaker works fine and pump is back up and running. I'll buy a new pump terminal block and replace later. I'm very happy with James' work. The next time I have electrical issues to resolve, I'll just call Pope Electrical again and ask for James."

"The technician spent most of the time talking on his phone so the job took longer than necessary. Refused to give me an estimate before starting work. Then tried to charge much more than the company manager had promised before finally accepting what I had expected to pay. He didn't replace the small wires or box but did perform a difficult installation very well."

"Excellent service. The AC folks were not ready for the Electrician, even though the Electrician showed up right on time. So Zar asked if I wanted them to wait or if they could come back after running off to do another job. I let them go and showed back up 2.5 hours later and did exactly what they needed to do. They were very quick with the installation and didn't disrupt any power to the rest of the house. Also their attention to detail and where to run the conduit was above any electrician I had ever hired."

"A thorough diagnostic evaluation of the problem was conducted to locate the cause of the problem. Once located by the electrician (Jerry from Streamline Plumbing and Electric) it was promptly corrected. It turns out that the original wiring for the home was poorly installed, however, Jerry was able to fix it in a couple of hours. We have used Streamline previously and they have always and continue to be very professional and competent in every aspect. Jerry is patient in listing to his customers and very good in communicating both the problem and the resolution for correcting it. We highly recommend him and the services of the company. P. Murdock"

"Couldn't have asked for better service. Issue ID'd and fixed in about 45 seconds flat. Load/line wired wrong. After fixing, secured GFCI and two affected outlets, and then gave a quick block of instruction on the issue. OUTSTANDING! Then, on top of that, I had used a coupon for 2 hours labor for $149.00 so they called the office and got that cut just about in half to what I figure was simply a service call fee. Advised on a washing machine wiring hookup as well which I was able to do myself cuz it was pretty cut and dry. Their knowledge of residential electric and residential CODE was just what we needed. HIGHLY recommend."

"E-A1 Pros did an excellent job with the installation of my pendent lights. They were professional when reaching out and provided confirmation of appointment. The technician was on time and very experienced. He ensured that I was happy with the lights while he was in the process so that he could adjust as needed. He even offered to take out the boxes, but I told it was not needed. I would definitely use them again for future projects!"

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