"I'm very impressed with the communication and quality of Honesty Electric. They were honest and professional from the initial quote, to finishing our electrical upgrade projects, including a new 200 amp service panel. Louis and his team really did an excellent job. They are dependable and that did keep me smiling."

"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."

"Robert recently did some A/V work inside my house and I was so impressed with the end result that I have had him back out three more times for other projects.  The most recent was the installation of speakers and a TV in my back deck area.  Robert is always on time, pleasant to deal with, is extremely knowledgeable, really good at any troubleshooting and leaves me with easy-to-use system that looks and sounds great.  For the back deck system, he hid the speakers in surrounding landscaping so you can hear the audio perfectly, but you don't see the speakers.  He mounted the TV neatly with no visible wires and it blends in nicely with the rest of the decorations/structure. I highly recommend Sound Advice and Robert Lyon for any home theater/A/V work.

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.
