"WJ is a great company to call when you need anything done with quality and speed. He was able to explain in detail of what was needed and required as far as installing and correcting my electrical panel. He then got the permit pulled faster than any other contractor Iâ ve hired in the past. The work was done the right way and price was fair. He is courteous and shows up on time ready to work. I would definitely hire again for future installation and repairs."

"My house was built 63 years ago and it still had the original wiring with fuse panels plus multiple add on breaker panels. There were multiple unseen problems that they found once the work began. The owner was very knowledgeable and easy to work with. He removed the three small fuse panels, replaced the service head, and replaced the multiple panels with one that would acommadate all my power needs. Even with all of the added work caused by those hidden issues, he did not want to charge me over the original quote. I don't usually recommend anyone on a public format, but I am recommending Greene Electric."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Hattiesburg, MS

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.
