"I would still like to hire CP, Hill, Davis or Circle S. but I don't know what to do from here. I would give them a better score If I could see their work on my home. I only marked ( would not hire them ) because there is no in-between. I have been trying to get some one to install a Transfer Switch for my new generator, I called ( Hill ) with no response then Home Advisor gave them my number and still no response. I called ( CP Electric ) with no response then Home Advisor suggested them And gave me their number. So what's the point of me calling them again. I first hire another Electrician (Circle S) he came out and gave me a bid but never showed up to do the job. I then called him three times and he never called back. I then called a fourth electrician (Davis Electric) 2 times and he never called back. This might be considered a small job but I think they should at least call you back and tell you that they can't do it for what ever reason. That's called doing good business. No disrespect to any of these businesses I'm just getting pretty frustrated trying to get something done. This is the same thing that happened when I tried to hire a roofer with Home Advisor , I still have a bad roof jack that is probably leaking water into my rafters causing damage. I have cash money and no one wants it. Is this Texas wide or just a Gilmer Problem. Never had these issue where I used to live. Home Advisor does not work at least not here."

"These guys were great! I had an exterior light out and a bad timer. They fixed it all, explained everything, and were very thorough. Best part, they weren't trying to sell me or uncharge me the whole time."

"Michael came in & knew exactly what needed to be done. His crew was professional & even helped me move my fridge to unplug a ADT panel that we do not use. We bought a 30 year old house & the electric needed upgraded. Would highly recommend MJR!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Hawkins, TX

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.
