"Jim did a diagnostic because we were having problems with our electricity on the second level. After doing his research throughout that level he discovered old electrical wiring that was in fact the problem. He did what he needed to do, replaced everything bad and our electricity on that level is where it needs to be. We are safe from any possible disaster that could have happened. We have been using On Time Electric for almost 7 years and have never been disappointed."

"The contractor was excellent. We signed the contract on September 11, 2015 and the system was fully operational on November 20, 2015.  My house is all electric,( heat pump, well pump, the works ).  Over the winter our highest bill was $ 220.00. Over the summer most bills were about $9.00. One month, AEP actually owed us $15.00.  Given the size of our house (1400 sq. ft.) and our usage, we expect to reach break even in 4.5 years.  Given that the panels are good for 25 years, I'll realize a profit for 20.5 years. This means panels are actually going to be earning money for me? Getting solar panels is a no brainer.


I whole heartedly recommend RES."

"Robert was great!  He was very responsive over the phone helping answer my questions and educating me on my options.  He came out to look at our space and walked through what he planned to do.  When the TV finally arrived (I bought it elsewhere) he was very punctual and neat/clean and did a beautiful job creating a home theater experience for us in our bedroom with all the wires and components hidden nicely on a shelf in the corner of the closet.  He is an electrician too so that saved us money and hassle as he was able to move our cable and add power to the closet.  Using a small  IR sensor on our TV our standard TWC remote works great (better than in the den when we hold it up 10 feet from the unobstructed cable box).
He was professional, neat, and did a great job.  Worth the money.

"M/I Electric did a great job and were the most reasonably priced.  They quoted over $100 less than four other companies.  Everything was very well done and no mess was left behind.  They even looked at a bathroom switch we had been having trouble and fixed that issue without adding other charges.  I would highly recommend them.

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Lancaster, SC

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.
