"I couldn’t be happier with the work this electrician did installing my EV charger. The installation was excellent, and he went well beyond what I expected to make sure everything was done right. His pricing was very reasonable, his customer service was outstanding, and he was polite and professional from start to finish. It’s rare to find someone who combines great workmanship with such a thoughtful, customer-focused approach. I’d recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for electrical work—especially an EV charger installation."

"Outstanding! I would recommend Mike, Flash, & this company. Mike & Flash were able to efficiently consolidate 2 service dates into one and get both projects done well. I loved the experience level. Felt safe for myself and my fellow condo neighbors. Got 3 estimates. This company was in the middle. Got good vibes during the estimate and during phone conversations with office personnel. Would use them again & definitely ask for Mike."

"John truly exceeded all my expectations by responding quickly and completing everything in one afternoon! At my Mom’s house, I needed two porch light fixtures replaced and the inside chime system of the doorbell repaired. Even with unforeseen problems, such as having to rewire a part of the porch light connections and installing a new chime system, John gave me repair options, let me choose the one that worked best for my needs, and ensured that I understood everything before proceeding with repairs. Plus, he was more than fair with his service fee! I will continue to refer John to everyone I know! So if you need an Electrician, you won’t be disappointed by giving John the opportunity to earn your business!!!"

"Roman is the owner of ASAP Electric and takes great pride in doing a professional job that meets or exceeds the customer’s expectations. He listens well, asks qualifying questions, does the job expertly and efficiently, and confirms with the customer that his work is exactly what the customer wanted. He’s very personable and answered my many questions thoroughly. He installed two wall sconces for me in my “theater” room and I couldn’t be more pleased. His sincere and upbeat demeanor make it a pleasure to work with him. I will definitely bring him back for future electrical needs as well as recommend him to my friends and family. Great work Roman!"

"Jack and his team are incredible. There were issues with our alarm system and with our entertainment center that were head scratchers that I had tried to resolve but could not. I also needed to replace my universal remote. Jack was able to download the files I saved in my computer for my remote, convert the data into a useable format and load that into the new remote. All which saved me money. His team installed a smart tv on a bedroom wall and placed all the wiring in the wall and moved electrical behind the tv. All my issues were resolved and we are once again enjoying our home as it was intended. These are great professionals and better people!!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Locust, NC

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.
