"This was the best electrical work I have seen In a while! He did a great job came out on a Sunday! We wanted to install a electrical plug, coax and Hdmi plug for behind our flat screen. He did an amazing job!!! For 180 he was here for like 5 hours in and out of the attic Passing cabling thru a tiny hole he did such a professional job I am so glad I found him! I did the home advisor request at 10:40pm and he called me right after I hit send! And was here the next day! He came and then went to lowes and did all the shopping for the supplies came back and got to work! Highly recommend him!!"

"Great guys! Waiting for quotes, but they were very professional and down-to-earth. Had great conversations with these two electricians, discussing the design and direction of my business and its focus with them. Great opportunity to network and have a feeling that we will be seeing them again really soon and just waiting for the quote now as they were able to consolidate many electrical circuits on my panel to make room for my new equipment where as other electricians wanted me to install an additional service panel at the cost of 2000usd for the extra equipment and that's not including adding the three drops for the equipment. These individuals are focused on efficiency and problem-solving. It costs you less money to handle the most complex tasks."

"Well we were going to do a ground mount using re-purposed
metal, but there was not enough of it. So Renewable Engineered Systems designed
a system for the roof of the house. We Worked with Brian Brown who helped us
decide what to use.   The solar panel
system is very neat. Get to watch my power everyday.

".The original deal was for 6 lights at $649.  We added some extra work for an additional $1700.  The designer worked with us and made recommendations to help us get what we wanted.  Communication was good and the work was done as scheduled.  I wasn't as impressed with the quality of the work.  They are spots where the wire is exposed and not completely buried.  The wiring to the lights that were mounted on the fence were secured with a wire tie.  I expected something a little cleaner and neater than that.  The lights themselves do the job they were designed to do and we are pleased with that.  I guess overall I am a little disappointed with the quality of work vs. the cost."

"My heat pump had gone on the fritz just before I went out of town on May 20th. As soon as I returned on the 23rd I went about contacting contracting to get prices. I met with Lee, from ARS, on the 24th and agreed to a deal for a Carrier purchased through Home Depot. The installation was started and completed on 5/29. Great to have cool air again and lower electric bills. Would definitely use again but I suspect this unit may outlast me."

"Ferguson Home Improvements did a fantastic job.  All the work that needed to get done, was finished beyond my expectations.  The workers were very friendly.  The job took a little longer that expected, but Ferguson Home Improvements were not at fault, the weather played a major factor with the deck stain and door installation.  At the time the work was getting done, we received a lot of rain and storms.  All in all, I would highly recommend Ferguson Home Improvements.

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Colonial Beach, VA

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.
