"Roy came out to look at the project. We scheduled it and John and Tony completed the job. They were amazing. Professional, listened, asked questions when needed and gave advice. Completed it within the time estimated by Roy. Will definitely hire Roy and his guys again. Couldn’t have been a better experience. Met and surpassed expectations. Thank you."

"I hired this company to do electrical run from my house to my shed. I was so impressed with their work and then reasonable price for the work they did. I had another problem with electric in my kitchen. I called them to come and fix it which they did in a short amount of time for a reasonable price. I would call them anytime."

"Chris and his assistant installed a 200 amp panel, coordinated with CMP . It went perfectly. Ran underground wiring to my garage and wired it. Also put in outlets my wife wanted. Good scheduling, great work, and I highly recommend him. Incidentally, his quote for the job was well under others i got a quote from."

Customers say: Quick response

"Cory was communicative and professional. He showed up on time and was reasonably priced. I gave him two light fixtures completely boxed up and he had them installed in my bathroom in a couple hours as well as changing a switch over to a dimmer. There was even some trouble with my ceiling wiring and he troubleshooted on the spot. Very appreciative!"

"We bought an old house that needed some upgrades and Downeast was great from start to finish. I wanted some minisplits put in for better heating and ac, and they gave me different options that kept my budget and what I wanted in mind. They also did my service upgrade and were completely professional through the whole process. I ended up with some MRCOOL units that worked really well this winter. They've been great to work with."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Hollis Center, ME

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.
