"Fantastic! The guys were able to make time to stop by the very same day that I called. They kept troubleshooting until they found the problem/solution. Very knowledgeable, super nice guys. Discovered that they do many other things, hence we already are making a schedule for them to come back. Highly recommend."

"Doug is a master electrician and has completed not only a panel upgrade for us but several other electrical projects. He’s knowledgeable, reliable, and easy to work with. What really stands out is that he genuinely cares about the quality and appearance of the finished product—not just getting the job done, but making sure it looks great too. Highly recommend and will continue to call True Line electric for my electrical needs."

"It was amazing! My initial call was returned almost immediately. Curtis came the same day to ***** the project and give me an estimate. He came promptly on the day and time we agreed on and was very respect ful of our home and did a perfect job, attentive to tiny detail so as provide an attractive fan. By that, I mean that in installing a wall switch, he provided the capability to switch on the fan and light separately. I couldn't be happier and would recommend Phase 2 Electric of Freeland, MI to anyone...and I will."

"Bill was quick to respond to my request for a quote. I received quotes from 2 other companies and Cornerstones rates were great. My project was very time sensitive (upgrade to electrical panel due to issues found during home inspection by the buyers of my house) and they were able to fit me in. They completed it in great time. Bill was great to work with and I highly recommend this company."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Montrose, MI

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.
