"Well we were going to do a ground mount using re-purposed
metal, but there was not enough of it. So Renewable Engineered Systems designed
a system for the roof of the house. We Worked with Brian Brown who helped us
decide what to use.   The solar panel
system is very neat. Get to watch my power everyday.

"Craig helped me take a fresh look at my yard. I live on a corner lot and our house is the center of the neighborhood.  There is a large redwood tree on the corner that really stands out.  Craig made sure the winter did not affect the angle of the lighting and that all lights and wiring worked properly.  Craig installed an extensive lighting system over a year ago.  He installed a system of "up" lights to illuminate large and small trees (japanese maples) around my house.  He installed blue lights in the back that has made a dramatic designer affect.  I love it!  One of the blue lights shines through my kitchen window casting a soft blue light in the kitchen.  It's stunning and my friends are always amazed.  My house has large columns, he illuminated each column for a dramatic affect, including my very attractive one of a kind front door.  The door now really stands out from the street.  My house is two story with a complex roof line.  He installed lighting on the roof to outline the house indicating the overall striking details of the roof, as well as the previously mentioned columns.  For safety he installed lighting along two walking paths.  Now the postman and delivery people don't have to stumble to find the front door.  I cannot overstate the dramatic affect it has made for our home AND the entire neighborhood.
Craig is a designer at heart and electrician/outdoor specialist ...the total package.  Previous outside lighting companies I asked for quotes wanted to sell me one of their "plans," their standard boring lights.  But Craig has a designer's eye and makes it really special.  Not necessarily flashy (but he can do that too), but elegant and inviting.  Plus the exterior lighting makes my home much safer.  I have a security system but the added lighting increased my sense of privacy and security.
Craig's son is a great part of his team.  He is quickly learning his father's business end and flair for design.  He knows how to install the equipment and explain how it all works together.  They are a dynamic father/son team.

"Ferguson Home Improvements did a fantastic job.  All the work that needed to get done, was finished beyond my expectations.  The workers were very friendly.  The job took a little longer that expected, but Ferguson Home Improvements were not at fault, the weather played a major factor with the deck stain and door installation.  At the time the work was getting done, we received a lot of rain and storms.  All in all, I would highly recommend Ferguson Home Improvements.

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