"Parker Electric, was a pleasure to work with. I had a bunch of different contractors working on different pieces of my backyard project at the same time, and Parker Electrical was by far the fastest and most efficient to work with. Brian and his team are professional, quick, and cost effective all at the same time. I would highly recommend them for ANY electrical need."

"The 2 men (Rolando/friend) who came did a great job; the friend could speak no English (hard to communicate with him). HOWEVER, I asked for what was stated when I searched out local "Electricians" to be a "FREE Estimate," and I thought that's what they were doing as they pulled things apart. BUT they repaired the overhead light/fan switch without telling me the cost first. When I asked the cost Rolando politely said he didn't know and his boss would send a bill. The cost ($289) was more than we paid for the light/fan in the first place a year ago!!! Had I known that up front, I would not have hired them. I responded to the bill sent to me from David Hill that I thought $289 for an hour (or less) of work was steep; he responded that I should value their work & his costs more. That he'd already discounted the bill (which required NO PARTS) by $100 &, with all that, my cost was just $12 an hour!! With that discount, the job would've been $38; outrageous! I won't use him or Angie's again"

"I recently had electrical work done at my home, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the quality and professionalism. The technician handled everything from wiring to the panel upgrade with precision and care. They took the time to explain what needed to be done, made sure everything was up to code, and kept the workspace clean throughout the entire process."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Old Hickory, TN

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.
