"Very professional and efficient. They came and checked why the generator was not starting. They brought it back up before servicing making sure it would kick in with disconnect. I would definitely recommend them for any electrical needs."

"Woody and his son Drake did an outstanding job. From start to finish they were prompt, courteous, friendly, and efficient. During the initial assessment they had no problem with me adding a few tasks, and the quote they gave me was very reasonable. The day of the project, they arrived on time, quickly got to work, and gave suggestions and explanations where needed. The project was completed on time and everything worked as well or better than expected. I will absolutely be going to them again for any future electrical projects and repairs."

"I hired them expecting a panel replacement/upgrade due to the main power shutting off. Withing a few minutes of putting the job request up I was contacted and they said they could be out within a few hours to do a free estimate. They kept in contact and let me know when they would be there. They checked out the panel and said it was in good shape. After describing the issues we had they determined it wasn't an issur with the panel like other companies had said but was just a few breakers needed to be replaced. They replaced them that day and also gave me an estimate for when I wanted to have the panel replaced which was thousands less than other electrical companies. Not only did they get the job done within a few hours of me posting the job they saved me money. If I have any electrical needs they are the ones I will be calling!"

"United Plumbing & Electric treated us like family. Mike gave us a free estimate that was very reasonable (less than I thought it would be) and then Bob and Donald set to work getting everything done in a very processional and timely manner. We are so happy with how our bathroom turned out and they fixed the broken pipe in the wall that was causing a leak. We will definitely be calling them when our next plumbing or electrical needs come up. Thank you Mike, Bob, and Ronald and the whole gang at United Plumbing & Electric!!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Kettering, OH

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.
