"Contacted S&S via Angies List to get a quote on some electrical work. Scott and his team were very responsive and helpful. It turns out that I did not use S&S for this work at this time, but I wanted to comment favorably on their customer service. Would consider them for future work and recommend others consider them."

"Jared is an absolute professional, I would recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable and courteous electrician. Jared was hired as the electrician to wire up my basement remodeling project. He is very knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything he was doing and why so I could better understand the job at hand. He has been back to my house a few other times for smaller projects as well."

"Justin arrived on time, and got right to the job. He was quick, efficient and cleaned up afterwards. Once the fan was installed, he explained the remote and operating functions. Very thorough. Ferreira Electric is now my go-to for any electrical needs."

"Power line outside my house got struck by lightning last weekend & exploded the cable bringing power into the house....very dangerous. Matt and his assistant came out right away and replaced my entire electrical system, breaker box etc.....as well as the outside equipment. I have NEVER been more impressed with a contractor and would highly recommend him to anyone. He is a very nice human being to boot!!!"

"Incredible service from Thomas. He was incredibly professional and fast with his work. I told him I wanted recessed lighting and wires run for a projector I wanted installed. He gave me a full run down of what he planned on doing along with an expected time frame. Thomas got all the work done within just a few hours and at what I feel was a very reasonable price."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Fall River, MA

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.
