"They gave me a list of recommended electrical updates for my home, with price estimates, so that I could decide which electrical work I wanted done first. I appreciate their professional work, wearing masks and getting requested work done in timely fashion. I would recommend Mr. Electric for any of your home electric projects and repairs. I plan to use them again for any future electrical work I need done."

"Service was very professional… work was scheduled just a few days after initial inquiry. And the complete panel replacement was done in one day… inspection and all. Very pleased with the work. The overall price was less than I expected too. However, they don’t do drywall replacement no matter how nicely you ask. :-)"

"Matthew did a great job of installing a small solar panel and two solar LED lights. Very knowledgeable. We were surprised that he didn't have any roof sealant or solar lighting wire with him since he's the only one in the Tri-Cities that does this kind of work and he knew what the job was ahead of time. He didn't charge us for the hour it took to get the sealant. We think it cost us extra labor cost for him to go get some more wire - the invoice wasn't detailed enough to know for sure. That said, we would recommend and/or hire him again."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Richland, WA

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.
