"They fixed a potential hazardous issue with my wiring, added a new plug in my garage, and balanced my electrical load, which fixed a lot of problems with fuses blowing and power dips. Excellent work, highly recommended!"

"Kevyn and his team did a great job. I initially hired them to remove some old ceiling fans and replace them with new ones. This was done with quickly and efficiently. While they were here, I asked about some additional wiring work and these guys jumped on it and had it done in no time. I would highly recommend KTH to anyone looking for electrical and/or data networking jobs. Thanks!"

"I needed a professional check and repair any electrical wiring issue in my laundry room and kitchen area. The problem was there was a leak in the roof on the wall where the panel is. I have had the roof replaced and now my dishwasher and cooktop was not working. The appliances are fairly new, (so) I flipped the breaker and that not work. I needed to make sure the wiring was ok before moving forward foe safety. There was a problem in the wiring and he had to get creative to get to repair the problem. The cost of fixing it was reasonable and I am very pleased with the tasks completed."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in High Point, NC

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.
