"This is a truly great company. They provide great customer service and spend time explaining the details and answering questions. My husband obsessed about every single detail and could not deny that it was a no brainer. Our first electric bill since installing the panels was a CREDIT! I was not expecting that. If you have ever considered solar, seriously, just do it. Long term, you can not go wrong."

"Called at 11:30 a.m. and Chris was here by about 12:10 p.m.  Figured out the problem within about 15 minutes.  A switch on our older receiver just needed to be set on another setting.  I asked if he wanted payment now or will he send a bill.  Chris called the boss and the boss said not to charge anything since no parts were needed and it took chris such a short time to figure it out.  I was not even charged for a service call!  He just asked that we spread the word about the company!  You just do not see anything like this very often anymore.  Chris gave me some business cards and I will for sure pass them out to friends and spread the word.
How refreshing it is that a business like this still exists.  I would highly recommend this company and will call them again the next time I need something and will be willing to pay whatever they charge as I know it will be a fair price.
I realize that I just happened t call at a good time and that no company can come out so fast and I realize that most of the time it will cost something.  But they could have easily charged at least a service call and they did not.  This is a sign of a truly outstanding company.  Please use them, they are outstanding!

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Crescent, IA

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.
