"Aaron from Dedicated did great work, they removed my knob and tube wiring with only one cut to the wallboard; they did most of the work from the attic and crawl spaces. It was a huge job and they upgraded two light fixtures and installed smart lighting in several places. With the sunrise/sunset setting on my front porch, I never have to worry about turning on and off the light."

"John and Matt are top notch. They first worked for us moving a junction box on a bathroom remodel last year. When we decided to upgrade our electrical panel this summer we knew who to call. They are knowledgeable, timely, professional and friendly. They told us what to expect every step of the way. We highly recommend them for any electrical work."

"I’m so grateful to Nathan, he upgraded my old panel and turned a huge worry into total peace of mind. He showed up right on time, walked me through every step so I actually understood what was happening, and finished faster than I expected without cutting a single corner. He even swept up every speck of dust. Nathan’s not just skilled, he genuinely cares. If you need an electrician who treats your home like his own, call Nathan. Five stars isn’t enough!"

"It?s hard to turn down a competitive bid on quality equipment from an outfit with a sparkling reputation, so we didn?t. Josh got us lined up promptly with the proposal option we selected, coordinated installation times both with me and directly with our tenant, and the crew arrived promptly in the morning on our installation date. I asked Jason, our crew lead, for one thing: to pay attention to a clean installation. Boy, did they deliver. Everything from the compressor pad to the line hide to the panel work was executed with meticulous care, and was left looking as pristine as a surgical suite. Inside the home, the wall head is placed well, perfectly level, and performing admirably to move air throughout the lofted unit ? it was sized perfectly for our needs. Additionally, our tenant reports that her interactions with every workman on the team were pleasant, professional, and friendly. That was also my experience. We have a happy tenant. Alpine has a happy customer ? and referrals"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Olympia, WA

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.
