"We have used Big Frog Electric on several occasions as our home needed to have some upgrades done. Everything they have done for us has been excellent. Everything they need to complete the project is brought with them. They are extremely efficient, knowledgeable, and professional. They are best electricians we have found, and we would not use anyone else."

"Mr. Henderson did a well done job on rewiring an entire unfinished basement, we ran into a couple of problems but he made sure that the problem was corrected. One thing I will say is that if anyone has a job big as this one, make sure that before you put sheetrock up call your electrician back out because you may encounter problems due to cut wires as I did and it made the job tedious. Mr. Henderson does not like to make what he thinks is unnecessary trips. Would refer him to anyone who is looking for a nice, well mannered electrician and that is not too costly, just make sure all extra work quotes are clear and on paper, never take him at his word because he does not remember what he quotes and you are better protected if it is in writing. Also, for big jobs such as this get a county permit. You are protected from unnecessary price increases."

"The technician was extremely knowledgeable. He has able to look at a rats nest of wires, tell me how it had been miss-wired, fix it, and install two new new switches including a WiFi Wemo in 30 minutes. He also correctly diagnosed a wiring error the builder had made 19 years ago. He deserves my 5-star rating. The only issue I have is Mr. Value's charge of $267 for one hour of work. That is more than four times what I make as a senior SW developer for Dell."

"Mr. Sullivan and his team did an excellent job installing (2) 20amp & (1) 240v outlets in my home. He was very responsive, installed them in the desired areas and gave me a reasonable price. They were on time, cleaned up after themselves and went the extra mile by patching all the holes created from running additional wiring. They were also diligent enough to label all the new circuits in my panel. I'm definitely using Sullivan Electric Services Co. for the upcoming projects for both my home and business!"

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