"This company was a life saver for me! A great crew...knowledgeable and diligent..... I hired Alvis Electric to check the work of a former contractor that I fired . During their investigation the crew found that everything in the addition was hot, even the ground wires. A fire hazard due to shoddy work. The Alvis crew worked diligently to find the problems created by the former contractor and made the corrections and we passed our inspections. Great company! I will hire them again.!"

"Had Shain and Gabe install two 30amp outlets on our exterior building for our RV hookups. They got it done same day and it looks very tidy and professional. They were punctual, clean, and very friendly. Would definitely recommend and will be calling them again next time we have an electrical need."

"Great communication! Ryan showed up during the date range we had discussed prior to beginning our renovation, which is critical for other sub-contracted work to stay on schedule. He kept 9-5 hours while working in our home, which was appreciated. He called prior to coming over each morning to make sure we were ready to receive him at our home. I thought that was very courteous. He was pleasant to work with and paid attention to details. I'd highly recommend Ryan with Rhino Electric!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Missoula, MT

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.
