"These guys were great. They came out to give me an estimate and were very helpful with ideas on what needed done. I hired them to come out on a later date and they were punctual. The job was done correctly and they removed the old wiring and replaced it with the proper gauge wiring that met code. I had the home inspected later on and it passed with no concerns. I would hire them again."

"After having some electrical problems in my house, I had In Phaze electric diagnose the issue. It required that I replace my antiquated electrical service for the main panel (outside) and the service panel (breaker box in the garage). They were very professional, did a great job at a fair price and solved the problem. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them for your electrical needs."

"Dhowed up in a timely manner. He described the work he would need to do to complete the project. Gave me a quote, which was lower than expected. He said if we wanted, he could do job on spot, and it would take just over an hour. he completed the job just as explained. He showed me his final work. He took pictures, and he was done. By the way the work involved our electrical box. He was very knowledgeable and had a good sense of humor. I had read good reviews about Bolt Electric, now confirmed though our project, that this is a good, trustworthy company. Many thanks Bolt Electric. I highly advise at least a quote for your job from them. I will call again if needed."

"JCA is great. They broke the job down into two pieces, the urgent, safety centered, work got done first. Once that work was done and passed inspection, the second part - upgrading the electrical panel and adding outlets to just about every room in the house commenced. They also installed a range hood, a light in the laundry room, and a separate microwave circuit. They cleaned up after the work and left the place in move in condition. They answered my questions and explained what was or would be happening and why. I already recommended them to a friend."

"East-West recently completed a successful upgrade to the electrical panel in our home in Dunedin. The work was excellent, the price was competitive, all time-line promises were honored, and the work area was left spotless every step of the way. Those aspects alone merited a 5-star review. But East-West really hit it out of the ballpark with the professionalism, friendliness, knowledge, exceptional communication, and positive attitudes of their employees. Starting with Phil, who wrote up our estimate and later calmly solved a small speed bump in our project. Then Maya, their office manager who impressed with her ease (and promptness) in communication and amazing kindness. And Jonathan, Frank, and John, who did the work cheerfully and with pride in both their process and outcomes. I could not recommend a business more enthusiastically nor with greater appreciation."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Lakeland, FL

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.
