"Ahmad is a talented electrician with a keen eye for safety and electrical code. He identified and fixed many “good enough” wiring from past contractors, took the time to explain the challenges, and gave me options to resolve it. I am satisfied with his work and would hire him again."

"Very busy time of year for electricians, but I got a quick response to come out for a quote. After giving the okay and scheduling, electrician came out on-time, completed the wiring and checked an outlet that had given me trouble (and replaced it!). Very efficient, polite and the work was well done. I've got other electrical jobs on my wish list and J&M will be my go-to for them all."

"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."

"Mr. Tolliver contacted me immediately and they came out the next day to look at the panel. Another company had advised it need replacement due to heat damage. When Tolliver Electric came out and looked they did not have the same opinion and told me the panel did not need replacement. I appreciate their honesty as it saved me thousands of dollars on an unnecessary repair."

"One of the electrical circuits at my house abruptly went dead. Microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator, and AC stopped working. Circuit breaker wouldn't go back on and felt sort of gritty. Got list of AL contractors, and Dave answered the phone right away, then listened and came out very within an hour. I had a very old box that I knew eventually would need replacing, and he gave a very reasonable quote and got me on the schedule the next day. As a bonus, he also was able to turn the circuits back on, so all were is working. So a blessing. He also informed me that it wasn't and electric panel box, it was a sub-panel that had to main breaker. A couple of hours later, Joe called and asked if it would be ok to come over early before it got hot. So came at 7:30, and when he opened up the box stated that in his 32 years of experience, it was one of the worst ones he'd ever seen. Ran into a couple of snags"

"We had to have our fuse box replaced as well as relocated. Abraham and his team were wonderful to work with. His communication was top notch through out the whole project. He explained every step and answered any of our questions we had before, during, and after. They were very professional, organized, reliable and dependable. They came and did the work seamlessly. We got numerous estimates and I am so happy I went with him. I would absolutely use them again for all of my electrical work. They were honest and reasonable. You can't really ask for much more."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Mechanicsville, 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.
