"Walter is a very knowledgeable electrician that installed a sub panel to help with our strobe/flickering lights when other appliances were in use. He was very professional and explained what he was doing through the entire process. Would recommend him for any electrical issue you are having."

"Proper Electric (Stephen) came out and got straight to work diagnosing my in-law’s electrical issues and fixed it within a timely manner. He has been called out for different jobs including upgrades, but sometimes critters chew up wires and Proper will be their first call for any electrical issues!"

"Jack and his team are incredible. There were issues with our alarm system and with our entertainment center that were head scratchers that I had tried to resolve but could not. I also needed to replace my universal remote. Jack was able to download the files I saved in my computer for my remote, convert the data into a useable format and load that into the new remote. All which saved me money. His team installed a smart tv on a bedroom wall and placed all the wiring in the wall and moved electrical behind the tv. All my issues were resolved and we are once again enjoying our home as it was intended. These are great professionals and better people!!"

"The company does great work. I am please with the work. They worked fast and were very friendly. They will be installing more lights for me in the near future. The lights that I bought for him to install in the kitchen doesn’t light up the kitchen enough, so since I liked the design of light so much the owner suggested that i place the same exact light in another area of the kitchen. Great idea. He was hundreds dollars cheaper than other quotes that I received. They do wonderful work. I have already recommended him to my sister that needs electrical work."

"When our smaller AC unit failed, we hired Galbreath and Sons to repair it. Because the repair would have been costly, Steven offered us several options so we could make an informed decision about whether to repair or replace. He spent three hours inspecting our system and explaining our options, thoroughly answering all of our questions. He never rushed us to make a decision. We decided to replace our two inadequate systems with a zoned system, a two-day job that required extensive duct work. Richard and his crew were prompt and efficient; they worked hard in miserable heat and cleaned up after themselves. We are extremely satisfied with the new system. Galbreath and Sons did great work, and we would not hesitate to recommend them or to use them again."

"Pryor Electric did extensive re-wiring work in our home from the electrical panel to the fixtures and receptacles. Over the course of the week, the team was very professional - always on time, organized and on schedule. Each day, everything was cleaned up and back in its place and someone reviewed the day's progress and the next steps. Every piece of work, large to small, is quality. From Mr. Pryor's visit for the estimate through the last double-check, they were all patient with my questions and any 'challenges' that the house may have presented. I have great peace of my mind after the work they've done. Highly, highly recommend this team!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Hilton Head Island, SC

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.
