"Kind of expensive, but performed all the work in about 7 hours (electrical mast/remounted to exterior wall, upgraded electrical to detached garage, installed new wiring/outlet for central a/c unit and side porch light, installed 8 recessed lights, installed 3 GFCI outlets and added a surge protector in electrical panel). Had multiple workers on the job, cleaned up areas, all were very cordial and stayed productive during the call. Completed work looked great. Pictures available."

"They showed up on a Tuesday, let me know what the problem was, fixed the problem that I had, and told me about future upgrades that I could wait on for now. They did this all in about an hour. They did a good job and had reasonable prices."

"I called Mr. Electric about a breaker that kept tripping.  Although it was not a critical situation, they said they'd have someone there by 3:30 PM (it was about 2:55 PM).  Robert arrived at my door at 3:25 PM.  He was friendly, courteous, knowledgeable and professional.  He listened to my description of the problem and quickly noticed that the breaker switch was not working properly and that both that breaker and the one next to it (both double circuit breakers) were VERY hot.  Following his advice, I agreed that he should replace both breakers since he had the parts in the truck. He quickly replaced the breakers, taking care to align two of the circuits that power the two phases of my 220 V pool pump on adjacent switches which he ganged together with a carefully crafted piece of wire. He then checked the voltage on the two pool pump leads to ensure that they got the proper power and then checked that the pump was operating properly.  I also confirmed that the house circuit that was the original problem was now working properly (which it was).  While I was inside doing the check, he was doing a quick check outside and noticed that the power feed from the utility pole had been ripped out of the mount on the house and was hanging there courtesy of the anchor that
also secured the telephone line (not a good thing).  This had probably been the situation for some time, since it was three or four months ago that a tree limb had broken off and must have hit the line on the way down, pulling it out of its moorings. I had cleaned up the fallen branch, but did not notice the damage to the power feed.  It's lucky for me that Robert did.  I had him re-anchor the line to the house, which he did quickly.  He seemed to know just what to do, and that, or course, is why you hire a professional for these things.
All in all Robert finished up all the tasks in a few minutes more than an hour. I was able to pay by credit card which he processed from his cell phone using a plug in device from Square technology. Since I had an Angie's List coupon I got 10% off the bill plus he allowed an additional 10% since I am a Senior citizen.  Yes, I'm glad I don't often have to spend $250 in an hour, but I'm also glad that I called Mr. Electric.  Sometimes it is just worth it.

"Contacted thru Angies List, They called me within minutes. They arrived within an hour, and they completed the job in less than 2 hrs. I had attempted to install a new Smart Light Swtich (wifi) but got something crossed and blew the wire (not the circuit breaker). 1/2 the outlets worked, 1/2 didn't. I called them and they gave me an arrival window of 2-5pm. Kenneth called me right at 2pm on the dot to say he was on his way and would be there within 15 mins, which he was. I showed him the issue and he went right to work, completing it in about 1-1/2 hrs. I was afraid that I had actually fried a wire in the wall, but he troubleshooted the entire circuit and got everything working again. He even completed the installation of the light switch for me and swept up the mess! I am completely happy with this service. It wasn't inexpensive, but it was well worth the money and time to get a professional contractor who knows what he is doing. I would have been there for days figuring it out, probably tearing out drywall to pull wire. I didn't have to do that with their service so that saved me much more money and time. Thank you MorningStar Electric."

"When I initially submitted my work request via HomeAdvisor, I received multiple responses along with an offer to visit the site to provide a more realistic quote. The entire experience from scheduling an appt for the estimates to actually completing the job went so smoothly and professionally. Calvin and Sebastian were a pleasure to work with. They were very professional yet friendly and thorough with their job. They cleaned up well after their job as well and overall process couldn't have gone any better. I would highly recommend Calvin and Sebastian for any of your electrical needs."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Elgin, TX

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.
