"Jim was there very promptly and spent two days doing the work. He was very thorough and neat and explained how everything worked when completed.  Jim was very personable and friendly and easy to talk with. He called us a few days later to check on us to see that we were happy and asked if we had any questions. He also stuck with his quotes.
Would definitely hire him again for any future electrical work.

"We had Hi-Tech upgrade our panel and redo wiring in our upstairs and add outlets and whatnot. Joey and Will did a great job. They stayed focused on the task at hand and were professional. I should also state that the work was done last year. We finally somewhat completed our upstairs and was able to test the work that was done and everything is working great. There were a few bumps along the way but Hi-Tech smoothed those out which is why Iâ m giving 5 stars."

"Owner Jaime G. and his team are first-rate. I heartily recommend their electrical workmanship and would hire them again in a New York Minute. The team performed a significant amount of work at my 1928 home, in November, including an upgrade from 100 to 200 amp service. I am very pleased."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Portage, 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.
