"Ryan and the entire crew are terrific. We've used them twice now. I'm long overdue in posting this review. They upgraded our two electrical panels to GFCI last year, and we had them back again a month or so ago to upgrade our attic wiring and other miscellaneous upgrades. They do amazing work at terrific prices and are very efficient and professional. Everyone at ALCO is easy to talk to and happy to answer any questions. I'll be hiring them again for all our future electrical needs, and suggest you do the same!"

"I called APS about getting a standby generator for my home, and the whole experience was great from the start. They took the time to explain everything in a way that actually made sense and walked me through what to expect instead of just trying to sell me something. What really stood out to me was how thorough they were. They noticed my gas meter was undersized for what I already had and helped get that addressed with the utility company before it became a bigger issue. That?s the kind of thing most people probably wouldn?t even know to ask about. Their pricing was competitive, communication was easy, and everyone I dealt with was professional and knowledgeable. The 10-year warranty being included was a nice bonus too. Overall, I felt like they genuinely cared about doing the job right. I?d absolutely use APS again and would recommend them to anyone looking for electrical work or a home generator."

"We needed an electrician to repair the wiring that was vandalized by our former tenant so the electric company could hook up the meter again. David contacted us promptly and immediately made himself available to examine the issue. The next day the work was completed, and we were able to get power and proceed with our work to clean up the property. Pricing was very competitive they worked efficiently and did a great job. We would definitely call them again for any future needs."

"Highly recommend! Jason did a beautiful job with my living room remodel. Started with an 80s style ugly paneling and green carpet. Now has the farmhouse look I’ve been wanting for a few years now but was too intimidated to start myself. Very pleased with the professionalism and quality work delivered!"

"It's refreshing to see that an honest and hard-working electrician like Clinton, is still is available in Birmingham,AL. After submitting my request on Homeadvisor I received a call within 5 minutes. Clinton scheduled the appointment for the next day and took the time to explain everything that was going to be done. He also explained the pricing and gave me a general idea of what kind of price I was looking at. Tonya called the next morning to confirm my appointment. She was a very sweet and knowledgeable young lady. I had a couple of questions I had thought of over night and she was able to answer all of them for me. I thought it was great that they call to confirm and make sure that the previos scheduled time still worked best for you because the type of work I do, my schedule does change last minute often. Clinton arrived on time and worked throughout the day. He was very neat in appearance and well organized. He did anperfect job on the panel and wiring upgrade and even fixed some other problems he found while working on the rewire at no extra charge. He takes alot of pride in his work and is by far the cleanest worker i have seen. He didn't leave not one trace of anything to let you know he had been there. We had gotten a few estimates from some other local electricians about 6 months prior to getting this work done and all of the quotes were at least $300-$400 more than what Whatley Electrical charged us. We received a 10% off discount for my husband being in the marines which I loved because lots of companies dont seem ti remember our servicemen. Tonya also called a few days after work was done to make sure all was working correctly and to see if we had any problems or questions. They make you feel so comfortable with knowing if something did go wrong that they are there for anything we needed and not to hesitate to call. Overall the best experience we have had with a contractor coming in and doing work on our home. Couldn't have asked for a better experience and will recommend Whatley Electrical to all of my friends."

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