"We had an annual electrical inspection. Tech., Deonte, was very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Any work he did or recommended was fully explained. We have had a new panel installed and other work done by Asbury Electric in a previous home. Highly recommend them. Reasonably priced and excellent work"

"My experience with Jason and his partner was great, and they did a wonderful job with the install of my light/ceiling fixture. The only reason why I did not give a full 5 stars is because I wish the company had more price transparency or a page where I could have seen how much the job could cost (a price range would have been fine) based on whatever factors ahead of time. It costs $90 for someone to look at the project, then they tell you once they’re there what the full cost will be, so I kind of felt like it’d be a waste of money not to hire them at that point. Again, the technicians were great, just wish more possible pricing information was available ahead of time."

"The project was extremely challenging. The hidden wiring under the floor would not budge, so the new wiring had to be routed a new way. Daniel did a great job figuring out how to do it so it looked good. Nice! They even worked during a tropical storm, in a houseboat. We discovered there were no GFI's at the last minute, and they installed them immediately. Throughout the project, Daniel understood the complex schematics instantly, and was not flustered as obstacles kept popping up. He re-wired the new panel like he had been doing those same boat panels every day! Great attitude and work ethic and professionalism."

"Jake was able to correct the complex wiring problem, even despite original 1938 wiring and cramped attic access. I was able to book an appointment online within 24 hours. I would not hesitate to hire these guys again for any electrical work big or small!"

"Hired them to add undersink outlet, add outlets to put kitchen island and an outside floodlight junction box under our eaves. Andrew was extremely quick to respond to my call, came out same day for quote and performed the work within 2 days. Friendly, honest, and he pointed out some issues for us to keep an eye on in the future with our circuit breaker panel (it s getting hot and may need to be changed out in future). No pressure for the additional work as many would have done. I am very glad I found Bush Electric and I ll be using him for my future requests and recommend to all my friends. Thanks for everything Andrew!!"

"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.

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