"Jim's team did a great job, but they had to come back once to fix an outlet that didn't work. That's the only reason for 4.5 instead of 5 stars. The installation of the new panel was clean and professional looking. The team worked hard and got it done. Sometimes it would take a few days for a message to be returned. That's the 0.5 star ding on customer service."

"Prompt response to my request for service, great communication...very easy and pleasant to deal with...showed me what needed to be repaired and inspected other things to make sure that they were seemingly all ok. I personally am not a big fan of service fees that are not then absorbed or offset with work that is done, but to be fair as well, it is not uncommon either. I did appreciate the communication and quality of work done, and his knowledge of my hot tub (and just with respect to hot tubs in general) was evident."

"The quote came from Nick and since I can't remember if Nick is the name of the man I met with in person or not, I'm just going to call him Man. Man and I met to look at the garage. It's at a property we were preparing to sell. Man was late getting there but did let me know he was leaving another job and running behind. Still, I was waiting for a while. After he looked at the garage, he said he would get a quote to me and I gave him my email address to do so. He texted me several days later and asked me to call so he could tell me the quote over the phone. He had done this with my husband on a different job and I wanted a quote in writing, not verbally. I texted back to please email me the quote. A day or two later I got the quote and it was $1850.00 to power wash, prime, and paint the garage. This is a one-story, two car garage. We had 3 people give us quotes and his was the highest by far (the other two were $885 and $1276). We were of the opinion that the gentleman who gave us the quote for $1276 had overbid because he didn't want to do the job. I thought $1850 was excessive and way out of line with what needed done. We will not be calling for quotes anymore."

"I was very pleased with Hi-Tech. I had my electric meter fall partially off my house due to siding installers not replacing it properly. I called them and sent them a picture of what had happened and they sent some one right over. They had us back up with power by the end of the day."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Ossian, IN

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.
