"Excellent! This is the second time I have used Argo Electrical and I was extremely pleased both times. They showed up on time, did the work, gave me advice on some other wiring I had and the cost was very reasonable. I highly recommend Argo."

Customers say: Quick response

"My project was a combination of a few simple jobs, and my schedule was flexible. Rylee Electric worked the job in and it was completed with no issues. They are friendly and courteous, didn't make a mess, and were very careful not to damage anything in the house. The price was very reasonable, and I will definitely hire Rylee Electric again when I need help with my next home improvement project."

"We have used these guys a couple of times for a couple of different projects. Tony specifically came out to do a small job for us in a home that we were getting ready to sale. We busted out a kitchen wall and he showed up and not only hung out new lights and installed our outlets but also told us the best way to re route our electrical for our stove for it to be stable. We used them again on a property that we just purchased where new electrical was being run. He came out and wired our meter for our temporary meter box and it passed inspections with out any issue at all. This company takes pride in their business and I recommend them over and over to people asking for trustworthy, dependable and affordable electricians."

"Everything went great! Very professional. Matt made sure every detail was taken care of. No mess left behind, nothing left unfinished. After removing old wooden spindles and replacing with new iron ones. Matt asked if I had touch up paint so that he can repaint bottom rail. This is some of the details that I’m speaking of. I have more projects that I will definitely use Matt again for. Thank you."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Cornelia, GA

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.
