"Because of covid 19 precautions I only requested a replacement of my outside circuit breaker panel. Scott was through in explaining the cost and license requirements. He quickly supplied documents for my insurance company. The job took slightly less time than anticipated. I will call again when I feel better about allowing people in the house to check individual outlets."

"DJ did an awesome job. Of the 3 contractors, that received my request, he was the first one who contacted me and really the only one. Which I am glad it was him, because I was very pleased with his services. He took the time to explain some things to me about the smart switches, and gave recommendations. Even after he was done, I was unsure of some wiring questions and he took my calls and explained things to me. Very pleased with his services and I would use him in the future if/when I need electrical work."

"Toby and team are easy to work with. This was my second project for them. First was evaluating and upgrading main house panels. Excellent technical design and professional implementation on both projects. They cleaned up pool wiring and provided outstanding quality and deliverables on all work. They are my go to team. Other electricians never came out or did not call back."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Houma, LA

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.
