"Nasr is wonderful! His guys did a great job with the panel which was old and as it turned out, replaced just in the nick of time as there were melted parts inside that could have started a fire! The wrong surge protector was installed so Nasr came back to put in the correct one. He is very friendly, communicative and easy to work with and does high quality work. I'm very happy with my new electrical panel."

"They did a fabulous job and I would recommend them to anyone!! The crew was professional and definitely knew what they were doing. Even from the beginning when I was looking to upgrade my old electric panel, they showed me different options and didn’t try to sell me anything I didn’t need. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend!"

"A Plus Electric stayed on top of my electric panel replacement, providing constant updates from scheduling status to project completion. They provided a fair quote and provided a letter to help my homeowner’s insurance to cover the cost. Dennis was great to work with and made sure that the panel was properly installed and working."

"Steve had come to assess another electrical issue in our home. At that time, we also discussed the panel replacement with him. Steve and Julie worked with us and were very considerate of our holiday schedule. They answered all our questions, and emails were answered immediately. Steve explained what would be involved, and gave us a very reasonable estimate. Steve came on time, worked carefully and efficiently, and finished the installation within the estimated time he'd given us. He also cleaned up well afterward. We are very impressed with Julie and Steve's professionalism. We would definitely hire them again, and would recommend them to others."

"Artie was sent to my house for a free quote - it turns out that the price was right and he had the equipment and tools ready to go, so he moved forward at my direction.

"Agripino Justiniano from Jireh Electric was terrific. He was knowledgeable, on time, helpful with a good demeanor. He diagnosed a wiring failure, repaired it, charged a reasonable fee, and without charge cleaned up some of my previous do it yourself attempts to fix the problem. It was a great experience."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Gainesville, VA

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.
