"Rob did a great job troubleshooting my initial electrical issue shortly after arriving. While here, I requested that he took a look at another persistent issue. He resolved it as well. Finally, he gave me some ideas and a general estimate to wire my basement. I will give Brooks Electrical Solutions when I finish my basement."

"This is an American US Citizen company with working American employees. Cole arrived with 18 yrs of electrical experience. WOW he knows his stuff. I had a ancient electrical box with federal breakers which are known to cause fires. Cole said my old box was in bad shape. It was a no brainer to spend the money and upgrade to general electric breakers. I also hired him to hard wire my carbon and smoke detectors. Job #1 took 2 days. The other work will be done in August 2021. For an experience electrician this is your company."

"Lightning Bug Electric did a wonderful job. We had Josh & Jake come out to install a ceiling fan & a new switch for it in our two story living room. They were extremely nice, funny & professional. They taught us a lot about the home’s existing wiring, & recommendations to upgrade our house that were extremely helpful. The ceiling fan came out great, & the switch as well! I highly recommend them to anyone looking to get electrical work done the right way. Incredible!!"

"Saved our house from burning down! We had called another company who came out and didn't even look at our breaker box to diagnose the problem before telling us we were safe to keep using it. Unsatisfied and wary of this information we called Lightning Bug Electric. Steven came out, actually pulled our breaker box apart, and was able to diagnose a serious issue. He was kind, professional, and friendly. He personally showed me the problem he found. It was unsafe to use our breaker box as it was sparking, arching, smoking, and melting. Steven pushed all his appointments for us to be taken care of ASAP since our situation was dire. He installed a new panel and did an excellent job! Would highly recommend this company to anyone in need of electrical service! They are honest, friendly, helpful, accommodating, professional and they did not price gouge us. Thank you Lightning Bug Electric and Steven for your help and service; we will definitely be using you for all our future electrical needs!"

"It went very well!  Mr Sullivan is very knowledgeable and friendly.  He gave me some advice for the future if I install more ceiling light fixtures to ensure that the wires stay connected.  He installed a new breaker in my control panel and said that it looked fine.  I got estimates on a couple of outdoor items and I plan to call him back soon to go ahead with those.  It was a pleasure doing business with him.

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Lawrenceville, GA

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.
