"Nasr is wonderful! His guys did a great job with the panel which was old and as it turned out, replaced just in the nick of time as there were melted parts inside that could have started a fire! The wrong surge protector was installed so Nasr came back to put in the correct one. He is very friendly, communicative and easy to work with and does high quality work. I'm very happy with my new electrical panel."

"It’s not often these days that I come across a service whose value far outweighs the cost, but this was my recent experience working with Steve and Jeremy of Cody Malone Services who installed recessed lighting and ceiling fans on all three levels of my townhouse. From requesting the initial estimate through the completion of the work, the process was easy and seamless. Jeremy arrived exactly as scheduled each day and worked diligently throughout the day to complete the work as timely and professionally as possible. He helped me create a vision for the layout of the lighting and willingly made adjustments when I changed my mind along the way until I was happy….no questions asked. His clean up process left no evidence that any work had been done in my house except for the beautiful new lighting that I absolutely love. I highly recommend Cody Malone Services for your next electrical/lighting project. It was a pleasure working with them, and I look forward to doing it again on the next project I dream up for my house as I am confident they will make my vision a reality."

"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!"

"There was quite a lot of work to be done. They came out they put a new panel in, they run new wires, they sorted out some minor electrics in the attic, they got some connections and so that they system was therefore complete for the contracting firm to come in and do their part. We chose them because we've used them before. We've done some minor electrical work with them when we had first arrived."

"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.
