"Excellent service From Dave and "Little Dave" After a brief power outage and subsequent surge I found stove and barn lights were not working, even after resetting the breakers in basement and barn. !. Immediate callback from Dave the owner who Listened and asked for video feedback. Dispatched his team after noting to have the appropriate breakers on the service van 2. Appointment next am With "Little Dave" and apprentice who showed up ahead of schedule. A pleasure to meet and talk with. Showed me the problem as the original panel labeling was misplaced. DID NOT try to sell me something I did not need. He checked and showed the results of a working stove and barn when finished. 3. Finished within an hour, courteous, polite, and friendly throughout. In an era of not even getting a callback from contractors, DP electric stands out as reliable and efficient and performing quality work. You have earned my trust. High praises! I will Definity Use them for further work Keep on Rocking DP!"

"They were the only company to respond quickly get me a quote. All the other companies listed near me on angies list were heavily booked or gave me a quote site unseen that I felt was extremely high. Scott came in and inspected the site before hand and gave me a fairly priced quote. We scheduled a date that had to be moved a few times because of weather. That isn't their fault as the install was outside. Eventually we got a good day and Scott came with another tech and got it all wired up and tested quickly. It is working perfectly and I haven't had any issues what so ever."

"I contacted NRG Electric because we had an emergency situation. The main power connecting to the meter was toast and the panel was getting fried. Josh and Mark came in and identified the issues, made it temporarily safe, got the materials and replaced the meter and panel. They also ensured that the pre-existing wiring, and loads on that wiring was safe. I was without power for a total of 4 hours. They were absolute professionals. When they left there was no sign that they had ever been there other than a new box and panel. Great Service, respected our time and property, ultimately concerned with the safety of my family and property. I will 100% utilize there service again."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in North Smithfield, RI

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.
