"I was having intermittent issues with outages on two circuits. I no sooner completed the request on Home Advisor when the owner of University Electric, Tom, called and asked if he could help. He was able to rearrange his schedule so he could come out that morning. The lines were working when he got here so he wasn't able to determine the exact cause. We discussed replacing the old fuse box with a breaker panel so I said I would consider it. The circuits worked for a few days but then I started experiencing outages again. I called Tom and he was able schedule the work for early the following day. Tom and one of his employees worked to get the panel swapped out and made sure all the outlets were working. There was a problem with the line running from the utility pole to the house so we had to call in the power company to fix that issue but once that was done everything was back in order. I am very happy with the service and the costs was much lower than what I had been quoted previously byanother company."

"We are very pleased with the work done by Kevin and Stan. We had a bathroom vanity fixture, outlet, and switches replaced in a 55 year old home. In addition, we had an upgrade to our electrical circuit box and a whole house surge protector installed. They were very professional, friendly and neat. A previous project involved replaced a dining room light and switch. We would definitely recommend them."

"I ran into trouble when trying to rewire existing electrical in my son’s 1950's built, detached garage. I called Adam at Go Electric to come help me fix things. He responded quickly! Also, he was very knowledgeable in diagnosing and explaining the problems with the existing wiring which he had to trace and correct in the house. The cost was reasonable and the work was outstanding – highly recommended!!"

"We purchased a St. Paul home built in 1900 knowing that we would have to replace the knob and tube wiring. Nordeast Electric performed a very thorough and fair estimate right after closing that was easy to understand. KC and John were very knowledgeable, efficient, courteous and easy going. They came up with solutions to every problem and respected the integrity of our home. They kept holes to a minimum while replacing the knob and tube in our plaster walls and they always cleaned up after themselves. We had no surprise costs or upcharges, just fair, honest work. Overall, they were great people and they did a great job! We couldn't be happier with the experience and in the words of KC, youâ  ll think Nordeast is Cool! Sweet! Awesome!"

"We have an older home and were having issues with overloading circuits. We received several quotes from electricians in the Twin Cities for a panel upgrade and felt that Plugz Electric was not only the most upfront/honest about what was required, but also had the best comparative pricing. Jason, Dan, and Maurice were all professional, courteous, and responsive. They installed a Leviton box (no upcharge), ran two new circuits to power our home appliances, and even fixed an issue that was uncovered in the attic during their work. Also, the company has partnered with a local cabinet maker to offer a nice finish for the panel (see pictures on Google review). This was a nice touch that made the Mrs very happy. Highly recommend! Do yourself a favor, and get a quote - you won't regret it."

"Starlight Electric did a fantastic job on the electric part of my current home improvement project, and even better they did it for an affordable price. They took the time to explain what they were doing and spent the extra effort to make sure even the little things were done right. We will be hiring Starlight Electric for all our electrical needs."

"I asked for quotes on a small job from five different companies and Randy's was the only one to call me back. We just needed a little work done to update a couple of lines and get them up to code and functional again. The techs also took the time to explain to me what current code is in the industry, which was most welcome. They also noted I had a surge supresor on one panel, but not a sub panel, so we added that in. As an IT guy with a lot of electronics around the house, keeping the numerous devices safe from a power surge is important to me. What the other installers fail to realize is a small job today may lead to bigger jobs down the line. My wife and I plan to rebuild our garage in the next year or two and install a level II charger for an electric vehicle as well as bring the house up to code as we finish remodeling it. The companies that didn't call me back won't even be asked to bid and the work will instead go to Randy's Electric."

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

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.
