"Excellent!! The work was professionally done and exactly what we needed. I would hire Fusion Electric again for future electrical work -- they did an outstanding job! Dilan and Jacob were the electricians who did the work. They were very easy to work with, very professional and extremely knowledgeable. Everything they did looks great and works great. An outstanding job from start to finish!"

"Caleb from The Plug Electrical came to give me a bid on adding an outdoor outlet on our patio for a TV. We received 3 bids and Caleb was the best bid with the most thorough estimate. He told us what parts would be used and why. I had an idea of what I wanted but Caleb talked to me about what the building codes called for and of course we followed his recommendations. His bid included parts and labor, so there would be no surprises. The two other bids we received left that to be determined. We also had a security camera/floodlight installed. Both jobs went fast, efficient, and flawless. Unfortunately, the evening prior to The Plug Electricalâ s arrival, after one too many margaritas, I accidentally ran over one of our landscape lights with the riding mower. Sliced the wiring in half. You guessed it, Caleb from The Plug Electrical stepped in with an early next morning appointment and had the lights back on in no time. Iâ m hoping I donâ t have any more electrical snafus in the near future, but if I do I know who my first call will be too, The Plug Electrical. Excellent, professional, work with an upfront fair price and the experience to back it up."

"The technician replaced the three outlets as two needed to be upgraded to 20 and one was broken. He evaluated the problem I had with my space heater and determined the problem was the heater, not the outlets. He also determined the bulb in the outside light was broken and went to two different places to find a replacement bulb. Unfortunately the bulb has been discontinued. He was knowledgeable, prompt, personable. He also made plans to deal with the outside light at a different time."

"I thought a breaker needed to be replaced , but it was really a loose wire in an outlet. I appreciated the information provided about various items that needed to be upgraded to meet code, which I will be able to address over the coming year or two before we sell our home."

"Raul came out quickly when we called him. He worked carefully, explained what was needed, and got the job done right. And the pricing was fair. He's a great guy and is now at the top of my list. I won't be calling anyone else for electrical projects or problems."

"Great work and exactly what I had in mind. I have an old 1950â s house with a few choppy looking outlets/wiring in the garage. Completely gutted the garage and wanted to add more outlets and light fixtures, and overall upgrade the area. Todd came in and his work exceeded my expectations. The space is now brighter with added lights and more convenient with the extra outlets. Great job. I will be calling him in the future for my other projects on the list."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Independence, MO

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.
