"This is an American US Citizen company with working American employees. Cole arrived with 18 yrs of electrical experience. WOW he knows his stuff. I had a ancient electrical box with federal breakers which are known to cause fires. Cole said my old box was in bad shape. It was a no brainer to spend the money and upgrade to general electric breakers. I also hired him to hard wire my carbon and smoke detectors. Job #1 took 2 days. The other work will be done in August 2021. For an experience electrician this is your company."

"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."

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