"Our A/C failed during the heat wave; the associated circuit breaker switches kept tripping. Our A/C service company identified overheating problems with multiple circuit breaker switches (temps were 150º plus) in our breaker box as the cause. His recommendation was to call an electrician immediately or risk a fire, so we didâ ¦ Mr. Electric. We called in a work request to Mr. Electric, Lafayette. LA at 3:53PM thinkingâ ¦ well, itâ s a Sunday; they wonâ t be able to come here until Monday. Wrong. Mr. Kevin Faulk was at our house within 45Min and determined that the entire breaker panel needed replacement â and was willing to do it that dayâ ¦ on a Sunday. It turns out that he couldnâ t, because he needed a part. He could have just left and waited until he had the parts he needed to return, but he didnâ t. He turned off all unnecessary circuits and temporarily replaced the A/C breaker, so we wouldnâ t die from the heat. Before departing, he made sure the new temporary circuit breaker was not overheating. The next day he was here bright and early and did the entire replacement. It took about 5 hours of work and required coordination with, and inspection by the electric company that provides our power. Weâ ve used Mr. Electric several times before for various projects, and were happy with them, but this time was a big deal. Considering they put in that much work and used top of the line equipment (Square D by Schneider Electric), the final bill was very reasonable in our opinion. I highly recommend using Mr. Electric for all your electrical needs."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Duson, LA

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.
