"Needed electrical wires rerouted, outlet moved, additional outlet installed. Chris came in and accomplished everything I needed and then some. As far as pricing, it was exactly on par with everything I had seen from other estimates, which was very reasonable. Something that I appreciate when taking estimates is transparency with what the cost included, and Chris provided that. What won me over was that he had a simple plan, didn't try to talk about things that I really didn't need, but he did bring up things that he knew I would need based on our conversation about my plans, which included 220 (had already been on my mind for a while). He went ahead and got that line ran with two outlets. Super helpful, and very friendly. He is also prompt and was willing to work with my schedule. I will be keeping his information for future use. I recommend Idaho Star Electrical without hesitation. I would post pictures, but 99% of his work is now covered up inside the walls of my garage."

"Diffused Electrical handled the electrical portion of a fire suppression system install in one of my food trailers for my business, Concession Trailer Depot. From start to finish, they were excellent to work with. • Work ethic: They showed up on time and got the job done efficiently. No delays or excuses. • Quality: The workmanship was clean and professional, exactly what you want on a commercial build. • Communication: They kept me informed throughout the project and explained every step. • Professionalism: Straightforward, easy to deal with, and clearly take pride in their work. I highly recommend Diffused Electrical for any electrical work on food trailers, food trucks, or commercial projects. Great company and great people."

"he was great and got the electricity connected within a reasonable time frame. He and Charlie both were very comunicative. He was going to provide a quote for some future work and provide a receipt for the work he did. So, far I've not received either. I talked to Charlie about it, but so far I've not received either."

"I have used the services of CES for several electrical needs Iâ ve had. I have always felt he was fair, honest and professional. One area that means a lot to me is that Charlie takes the time to explain what needs to be done so that even I can understand. One of the services CES has performed for me was to run electricity and tv wiring to my flat screen wall mounted tv so that no visible wires are showing. My wife was very impressed by what a nice job he did. Recently when I installed a mini-split unit in our second home in Cascade, CES did all electrical work that was needed to get the unit up and running. To say that I am a happy customer is an understatement. To find someone these days who has his work ethic, skill and honesty is a very rare thing. I recommend this company whatever electric needs you have."

"Gitzit electric was fast and courteous and had an answer for every question I asked. Ethan was very knowledgeable in his skills and was the most honest person when it came down to doing the job the right way. I had him install extra gfci for a cold plunge and put in a 220 outlet for a sauna and had him create a 6ft whip to be plugged into the ceiling to keep out of the kids reach. He was the only fair priced contractor for the amount of work at hand and I would recommend to anyone doing electrical work. I will definitely be reaching out again for any of my electrical needs."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Meridian, ID

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.
