"Excellent service From Dave and "Little Dave" After a brief power outage and subsequent surge I found stove and barn lights were not working, even after resetting the breakers in basement and barn. !. Immediate callback from Dave the owner who Listened and asked for video feedback. Dispatched his team after noting to have the appropriate breakers on the service van 2. Appointment next am With "Little Dave" and apprentice who showed up ahead of schedule. A pleasure to meet and talk with. Showed me the problem as the original panel labeling was misplaced. DID NOT try to sell me something I did not need. He checked and showed the results of a working stove and barn when finished. 3. Finished within an hour, courteous, polite, and friendly throughout. In an era of not even getting a callback from contractors, DP electric stands out as reliable and efficient and performing quality work. You have earned my trust. High praises! I will Definity Use them for further work Keep on Rocking DP!"

"John and Ryan came on time to check the electrical connection on our Jenn-Air cooktop. They checked the main box and the electrical box by the cooktop. They diagnosed the issue quickly and fixed the connections with the correct kind of wire connectors. While here they also updated an electrical switch. They did all of this within the original estimate S&S provided over the phone. Thanks!"

"Everything went perfect from start to finish. Chris responded to my inquiry that very evening and we set up a date to have an estimate for the replacement on my old fuse box panel. Randy his technician went through everything in detail that needed to be done to upgrade my sevice to 200 amps and the added safety features. At that point I knew I had the right person for the job. I signed the contract that day to have the work done. Randy and his co-worker (sorry forgot his name) arrived on time and completed the work that day and for the exact price I signed the contract for. I'll be calling them back in September to have more work done. Don't hesitate to call Chris."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Johnston, RI

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.
