"I did not hire Knee s electrical service because I was quoted for a 22 KW generator at $11,000. I had a suspicion that I did not really need that much for what I was wanting but planned to get three quotes before I hired someone for the project. There were two men sent out to my home. They stood in the kitchen and plugged information into a tablet with a generator sizing tool on it and told me I needed the 22 kw. They did not look around the house, or explain anything to me about how the process worked. I ended up going with another company who was very communicative and informative and purchased a 16 kw generator and with installation and everything it was $6570.68. I feel comfortable with my decision to go with the other company and would not recommend Knee s electrical service for a whole home generator installation."

"Excellent service. Whoever wired my trailer before had my whole trailer wired into one 15 amp. the tech went above and beyond and saved my weekend after working 60 hours in the 106 degree weather. 10/10 recommend. AND a live human answered the phone, not the automated answering service which no one’s wants to deal with when their home is 86 degrees inside."

"Jim's team did a great job, but they had to come back once to fix an outlet that didn't work. That's the only reason for 4.5 instead of 5 stars. The installation of the new panel was clean and professional looking. The team worked hard and got it done. Sometimes it would take a few days for a message to be returned. That's the 0.5 star ding on customer service."

"Prompt response to my request for service, great communication...very easy and pleasant to deal with...showed me what needed to be repaired and inspected other things to make sure that they were seemingly all ok. I personally am not a big fan of service fees that are not then absorbed or offset with work that is done, but to be fair as well, it is not uncommon either. I did appreciate the communication and quality of work done, and his knowledge of my hot tub (and just with respect to hot tubs in general) was evident."

"I was very pleased with Hi-Tech. I had my electric meter fall partially off my house due to siding installers not replacing it properly. I called them and sent them a picture of what had happened and they sent some one right over. They had us back up with power by the end of the day."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Roanoke, IN

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.
