"Very happy with Joseph and his assistant's electrical work. I used the 2hr deal (or 1 hr for two guys). After scheduling through texting, Joseph showed up on time and took a quick look at the scope of the work and whether it could be done in an hour. He said, "we can make it happen" and off they went. They worked quickly and efficiently and it was definitely a two person job as they had to thread wire around some wall studs. They finished in about an hour, cleaned-up, gave me a bit of advice, and drove off. Very professional. Everything went as smoothly as I could have hoped. I highly recommend Nasr Electric."

"I am a happy customer and will recommend Cody Malone Services! Even though I got a slightly cheaper quote from someone else, I chose Steve based on two things: past reviews and his willingness to stop by my house to give a quote. His deputies Jeremy and Demeric did all the work. They were very polite, professional and hard working young men and have a bright future ahead. They also wore masks all the time which I really appreciated. On last day, I asked Jeremy to do a bit of extra work to replace a switch but he didn't ask extra money for it, which I liked, and so he/they earned the tip. I have recommended Steve to couple of my friends already and will definitely hire them for all my future electrical/lighting projects."

"They did a fabulous job and I would recommend them to anyone!! The crew was professional and definitely knew what they were doing. Even from the beginning when I was looking to upgrade my old electric panel, they showed me different options and didn’t try to sell me anything I didn’t need. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend!"

"They were on time, heard out my list of needs, then recommended an order of which they were going to complete the work and got right into it.  They cleaned up neatly.  I recommend them highly and would use them again.  I gave them a B on pricing because honestly I've never compared Electricians quotes to know where there pricing falls.  They cleaned up all scraps.

"We had a broken 32" under-cabinet light that needed to be replaced. The electrician came within an hour and replaced the light in about 20 minutes. His quote was $45 less than other quotes. He was very pleasant and spoke English very well. He has been doing electrical work since 2002 and is a master electrician. We highly recommend him."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Lincoln, VA

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.
