"It was 2 days before Thanksgiving and my power kept flickering on and off. I had the power company out to my home who informed me that the box where the main power comes in...under the meter needed to be replaced and I had to call an electrician to do that. I had been coordinating with another electrical company while I was at work, to have someone come out that day. Unfortunately despite their efforts to find an available electrician, by 3:00 p.m. they were still non-committal. So in desperation, I decided to use Angie's list for the first time. That is how I came upon Resolute Electric. Contact was made within 5 minutes, and Clause who is either the manager or the owner was at my home within 1 hour to complete an assessment and quote me a price. He had one of his electricians at my house within another hour and the work was completed by 8:00 p.m. . He did not charge me any extra for the late hour of service simply because he was more concerned about our safety then making or taking advantage of our desperation. Both Clause and Randy displayed a level of professionalism and work ethic that you don't come upon very often these days. That being said, I felt it was important that they're excellence be acknowledged. I can't thank them enough."

"I hired Brett and had never used him before. I based my decision on his prior feedback on Angi. My oldest daughter purchased a 100 year townhouse in Wilmington. The home inspector found numerous issues with the electrical including a recalled circuit breaker panel and numerous miswired outlets and switches. It was a large task. Brett gave me a reasonable offer and I hired him. When you first meet him, you know you are in good hands. He is very nice and well spoken. His work was impeccable. He showed up on time, both days and cleaned up after all work. The work was of very high quality and he went the extra mile doing several things that he did not need to do. In this basement, there was excessive unused wiring in the ceiling which he removed. If you need electrical work, he is your man. and his feedback shows it!"

"Len and Charlie are two of the most professional and best electricians I have ever met. They repaired the improper gnd from the previous owner, installed two GFI's for my jet ski lifts, moved and added new electrical cable all on my dock. They even wired the power to my new boat lift remote and installed an electrical box and 30A breaker. They did all of this in just a few hours on a very hot day. At the end they walked me through what they did, cleaned up and most impressively thanked me for my business. Extremely satisfied!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Little-creek, DE

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.
