"Brandon Flemings was great to deal with during the work he performed for me. He and his assistant were very professional and thorough with explaining the work they performed. They arrived at my house at the time they said they would come and their estimate for doing the job was reasonable and accurate. I definitely will hire them for my future electrical work."

Customers say: True professional

"We are new to the area and after calling several electric companies settled on Crest Electric to do work in our home. From the first phone call and through our subsequent interactions, Dale the owner was professional. He showed up on time, was prepared to handle situations outside of the work we discussed over the phone and he gave us expert services. He was respectful. His work was neat and exceeded our expectations. He cleaned up after he completed the work. We are relieved because we have Crest Electric, a reliable electric company to call on. We highly recommend Crest Electric."

The light placements, wire cleanly run, and cleaned up after the job was complete He was very reasonable on price, his prices are more than fair. I plan to use Zach for all my electrical needs. Can’t recommend him enough."

"Zach and his partner were really on the ball. Zach produced a proposal in a timely and professional manner and then there was hardly any waiting. They brought an electric line from my garage panel to my hot tub, got all the inspections and permits and were done in a week. Their prices were reasonable and I am more than satisfied with their work. Would definitely turn to them with any projects in the future."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Rehoboth Beach, DE

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.
