"Great! Mister Sparky was one of 4 contractors we used for proposals. Of the 4, only two provided electrical and natural gas service included in their estimate. We did not want the hassle of trying to find a plumber to do the gas connection. Mister Sparky provided excellent customer service. The only issue we had was trying to get them to give us an exact time for the first visit - they gave us a window of time - I hate that. I want a time when you are going to be here. But they got here close to the time they said they would be here. They put booties on their feet when they enter your house - appreciate that dirt is not going to be tracked on the floors and carpet. The brand they install is Briggs & Stratton. Our home is only 1500 sf, so we didn't need a really big unit. With their proposal, they also included a house surge protector - a costly item if done alone - to be installed while they had the electric panel apart. We received the estimate on Monday and they installed the unit the following Friday. We were without power longer than expected due to some scheduling and inspection issues, and Mister Sparky gave us some extra service to compensate. They went out of their way to make sure we were a happy customer. The generator unit itself is compact and sounds like a lawn mower when it runs. So, if we get a storm outtage - we're ready!"

"Work went well despite having some uncontrollable problems. The reason why I rate LED electric as an "A" is when problems did occur they took care of them in a responsive and professional manner. Ron and Mike were excellent."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Little River, 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.
