"Well we were going to do a ground mount using re-purposed
metal, but there was not enough of it. So Renewable Engineered Systems designed
a system for the roof of the house. We Worked with Brian Brown who helped us
decide what to use.   The solar panel
system is very neat. Get to watch my power everyday.

"Craig arrived on time and gave an appraisal of the system he installed over a year ago.  Everything was working perfectly, all wires were still buried and bulbs all worked.  Craig installed a complex lighting system with over 20 lights including roof lights to illuminate the top of the tiered roof line on our arts and crafts home.  We discussed signing a maintenance contract for periodic maintenance checks.  I was having trouble figuring out the timer and he patiently explained how to set it and make adjustments as the seasons change.

Crag is the most professional contractor I've ever worked with.  His prices are fair, he beats the competition hands down.  His lighting design has immeasurably improved the value of our home.  We live on a corner light, heavily wooded and very dark.  Our home is now the talk and star of the neighborhood.  I put signs up in my yard advertising Craig's company so my neighbors would also get lighting for their homes. 

I am a very demanding customer.  Craig has never failed to show up immediately when needed and I trust him and his son to make sure all work is done perfectly, to code and at a reasonable price."

"Ferguson Home Improvements did a fantastic job.  All the work that needed to get done, was finished beyond my expectations.  The workers were very friendly.  The job took a little longer that expected, but Ferguson Home Improvements were not at fault, the weather played a major factor with the deck stain and door installation.  At the time the work was getting done, we received a lot of rain and storms.  All in all, I would highly recommend Ferguson Home Improvements.

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Gloucester, 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.
