"Mike and his crew did a great job. They upgraded our fuse box to a circuit breaker, did some trouble shooting with problems in our kitchen and installed 3 outside outlets. All the work was done quickly and exactly as described. Mike showed up when promised and fit us in to his schedule quickly. I highly recommend Efficient Electric and will not hesitate to use them the next time we need an electrician."

"Kevin showed up right on time. Within thirty minutes he had inspected my electrical system, fixed the immediate problem, and given me an estimate for what things needed to be upgraded to meet current code standards and the cost of doing so. He was courteous and knowledgeable and I was comfortable with the improvements he suggested. I haven't gotten any other quotes on the upgrades yet, but I'm confident his quote is competitive."

"I hired Derek and his colleague to wire up our new hot tub. He was excellent at communicating and providing an estimate before work was started. The quality of work he provided exceeded my expectations. Everything was done neatly, to code, and did not leave a mess at my house. A sprinkler line was damaged during trenching, since we didn't know it was there, and he made the repairs with no questions asked. I would definitely hire him or recommend for electrical work. A+"

"Writer is a true professional and electrical guru. He arrived within the allotted time frame, got right to work and quickly identified the problem. He even welcomed me to watch him while he worked as he explained the intricacies of the electrical outlet (which was a GFCI multi-branched oulet, connected to other garage and bathroom outlets). It was clear he knew what he was doing. I would recommend him for any electrical problem or fresh installation, and plan to hire him in the future for other electrical projects I have around my house."

Customers say: Quick response

"He called me before I had a chance to call him. He was on top of things. He came right over. The problem was not one he could resolve because ot was an issue that was from outside in the electrical meter. He did jar it enough to get things started. The rest was resolved with the electrical company. He was friendly and didn't seem concerned that I asked a lot of questions."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Plymouth, MI

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.
