"Today we had a major upgrade to our farm. Our cabin and tool shed had electricity but our new feed shed didn't. We also only had a few outlets just to run basic things. We had looked for over a year for someone local and had gotten several estimates, but a few people we wanted to go with were not licensed. We just happened to see a rave/review about Big Frog Electric South. We called them they came right out listened to what we wanted to do and gave suggestions along with the cost. We decided to go with them and they did not disappoint. They put in all new sub-panels, and outdoor outlets all of our buildings have a ton of outlets and light switches ???. Our heating and cooling for the cabin is finally done. This was big for us. We highly recommend them, everyone was nice and friendly, and they didn't leave a mess at all. The quality of work is perfect. Thank you guys! Please call them if you need work!!"

"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."

"David showed up on time (a few minutes early) and we discussed my concern. He ran his diagnostics and suggested the fix. We also discussed the problem I was having with a ceiling fan and he was able to do a quick fix on that while he was here. He gave suggestions for some future considerations without being pushy like some of the electrical companies I’ve dealt with in the past who pushed to make changes where changes weren’t needed (commission based companies). All is well in my house now and I’m at peace with my electricity. I highly recommend using this team as well n house - Camille - is also quite helpful asking the right questions before sending out a tech."

"Andrew does great work. Had him swap out my main panel that was dangerously outdated. He worked quickly and clearly knows his stuff when it comes to electrical. I had him back about a month later to help install an attic fan and some landscape lighting too. He’s a great resource to have and I will be using him for all future projects between Jasper and Atlanta in the future."

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