"I actually did not use their service because Dave offered to walk me through the process instead of me paying to have someone come out. He told me how to correctly turn on and off each breaker to each area in the panel box and just that clarification did the trick (I obviously was not doing it correctly before). I am grateful to him for his time and knowledge, and will certainly reach out to his company for future electrical services."

Replacing a light on a pole at a medical office building.
This generator was installed on the side of a house.  The window had to be replaced to allow for the generator to be placed in this location.  The window was made to not open per code.
We installed this 14kW generator to power the whole house.  We used load shed modules to be able to save the customer money by using a smaller generator than would have been needed if we didn't use the load shed modules.

"A Plus Electric stayed on top of my electric panel replacement, providing constant updates from scheduling status to project completion. They provided a fair quote and provided a letter to help my homeowner’s insurance to cover the cost. Dennis was great to work with and made sure that the panel was properly installed and working."

Customers say: Quick response

"I hired ESV, Inc. to install a new range hood, and a install new light and switch in the master bedroom closet. In addition they fixed two light boxes in our town home's basement that were not properly connected with electrical boxes. From the moment sent my inquiry to when they left, the communicated effectively the estimate and scheduling of the visit, were on time for the work, and their two electricians that came to do the work provided exemplary service from start to finish. I'd hire them again in a second."

"Steve from Cody Malone was phenomenal. Not only did he expertly install new lighting (heavy stuff, too!) but offer clever suggestions on how to add new wiring to install a new light over our kitchen stove, install new wiring and new light over our fireplace, add new wiring for a new outdoor light on our deck, and install new outdoor landscape lighting. Oh, he also repair/replaced our fluorescent lights in our basement that were intermittently going on and offer. I would hire Steve in a heartbeat for any electrical job. He really knows his stuff and his pricing was fair if not the best for the fantastic job that he did."

"Ortiz did a great job - he was very professional, nest, and explained what he was doing along the way. He had also provided the details in his quote prior to the work. He had to add another circuit to our electric panel which was on the opposite side of the house where we needed the outlet. He also installed 2 additional outlets which were able to use existing circuits in the panel."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Dale City, 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.
