"I called Jones electric and asked them to come out and check some problems we were having with our electrical. He came out and I wasn't home yet but my son was there. He checked our box and told us something that was wrong with it which was something we needed to take up with the power company. But this man came out and took his time to help us and he did not even charge me one dime. And my electrical was in bad shape and we still haven't got things fixed because we have to wait on the power company. But I think this man for coming out and checking what he did and telling us what he thought was wrong and doing it out of the kindness of his heart. God will bless. Jones electrical fourth day I've done for me. I'm very appreciative of it because I'm going through stage 4 cancer taking chemo and I'm really stressed out over a lot of things and he just really blessed me in a way that took stress off of me instead of adding anything to me. I would highly recommend Jones electrical to anyone"

"Bob and his crew took care of some electrical problems with our first home purchase. It is a 100-year-old house and had various electrical issues due to both its age and past renovation work that was done poorly. Bobs team did an absolutely fantastic job getting everything sorted out and were open and transparent throughout the process, making it a stress-free process for us and giving me a huge dose of /feel good/ about the safety of the home we are moving into. I am a worrier and a perfectionist by nature, and this being my first home purchase turned those tendencies up to 11. I am sure they wished at times that I would just let them alone so they could get the job done, but all of my questions and concerns were met with open, honest, and kind spirited responses. So on top of the great work, they were just good people. I cannot recommend them highly enough."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Johnson City, TN

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.
