"RH Builders great reputation doesn't really give a good feel for the quality of work, the customer care, the high level of expertise, the conscientious focus on minimizing waste, or the fairness used in every aspect of the job.  We contracted for the replacement of our front porch, bus as they began to remove the old portch, the discovered problems with rotten wood where the porch columns were to connect to the beam at the roof.  They immediately showed us the problems and recommended an approach to correcting the situation that minimized the work, materials and cost.
Another of the many things that impressed us was the level of commitment to OUR job.  It wasn't a big, high-dollar job, but they were focused on OUR job and were noto "here for a day, gone to another job for a few, then back again for another day or two."  As a result, the estimated three to four-day job was done in four days including the unancticipated problem-solving work.  And to top it off, when the job was complete, the did an excellent site cleanup job.
RH Builders far exceeded anything we had become accustomed to expect from contractors.  They're not our first experience with contractors, which goes a long way to explain our use of Angie's List.  We highly recommend RH Builders to anyone needing a seasoned, no nonsense, exceptionally qualified contractor.  We have a couple more projects we need to address and we'll definitely use RH Builders."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Edgefield, SC

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.
