"Smart Services came in to fix a previous electrician’s sloppy work and also add ceiling lights and other outlets. This required troubleshooting and problem solving on his part to even begin the work. Everything was done in a timely, neat, and professional manner. I highly recommend them for electrical work."

"I highly recommend A/B Electrical Contractors, Inc for your electrical needs. They provided superior professional service for my electrical project (installed electrical service to shed, lights, and outlets and installed a ventilation exhaust fan in the house bathroom) from beginning to end with a very competitive price. Alan provided me superb cost effective advice which met all my electrical needs. Randy was the onsite electrician. He and his assistance did an outstanding job completing the project the way I wanted it and was very flexible in accommodating changes. A/B Electrical completed the work as estimated; they showed up on time, kept me informed on status of the project, and left a clean work site."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Normal, AL

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.
