"I'm very happy with Star Electric. We originally found them on Angies List to come fix a cut electrical cable for our dishwasher, install some recessed lighting in the kitchen and wire an outlet and HDMI hook up above the fireplace for our tv.  Thus far we has them accomplish the dishwasher repair, and are scheduled for the tv & recessed lighting next week (I'll update the review once they complete that work).  Last night my a/c went out and my house was 85 degrees by 8pm.  I had the a/c guy come out and repair the a/c unit, but the circuit breaker that feed power to the a/c unit was blown and not transferring power.  I called Star Electric at approx. 830pm and got a call back within 5 mins.  About 10 mins there after they were on their way.  They showed up at our house in about 30 mins, fixed the breaker and had the a/c up and running by 940pm.  Overall they're a great, friendly company who have been super flexible with us on projects.  They're professional, on-time, and complete the job they said they were willing to do. I'm very happy with this company and will continue to use them."

"It went great! Trey Lowery was very prompt and professional. He went straight to work. He asked my concerns and listened intently. He made sure I understood the process he was taking to complete the job and welcomed any questions. He’s had all the tools needed to complete the job and finished with great accuracy. I was very pleased with his service and hope if I have any more issues with my system I get a technician that’s professional and caring as him. He’s an awesome addition to your team."

"Sears' package of services allowed me to worry very little because they coordinated all the trades. Sears has a longstanding reputation for standing behind their products, something I had not found to be true with other contractors I had used in the past. Thecarpenter/job coordinator who did the refacing work was wonderful to work with, making minor modifiations as necessary to fit my needs.  I had not originally intended to purchase new appliances, but Sears offered me such a great discount that I added a new cooktop, double ovens (which required some cabinet modifications), and a dishwasher, which were installed by the carpenter.  He also coordinated the quartz countertop and flooring installations. All of the work Sears did was well done and professional. After the job was completed, I noticed that a door in the den that had to be cut off to accommodate the new flooring was a bit rough, and they sent the carpenter back to fix it within a week. I was somewhat concerned that I would not like the laminate used to reface the wood cabinets, but it has turned out to be very attractive, more durable than wood, and easy to clean.  No one can even find the seams in the quartz countertop or the Congoleum flooring, so I feel that their workmen are very experienced and skilled. I not only would recommend Sears to others, I would use them again for other work."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Kent, AL

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.
