"I called Henry County Electric and so glad I did. Before calling I did some research on my problem as well as the cost. In considering the work to be done and the cost of other estimates…..much higher!! Chris came to do the job when scheduled,quality work, also alerted me to an electrical hazard while he was there and immediately repaired it. He is now my “go to” electrician. LOOK NO FURTHER!!"

"Trey and his family did a great job for us. We asked them to install a wall charger for our EV. It required a new 50-amp line from the main panel to the install location. Trey came out when we first contacted him and gave us an estimate within 48 hours. It was quite reasonable. We scheduled the installation after the wall charger arrived from the merchant. Trey said they were scheduling about 2 weeks out, but we only had to wait about 10 days for our appointment. On the day of the installation, the guys showed up on time and ready to go. It took between 2 and 3 hours to complete the installation. The wall charger has worked perfectly since then. Important notes: 1. Due to clutter in the installation areas, some large and some small items had to be moved. As I started to move the items, Trey told me not to bother; his guys would take care of it. Very pleasant surprise! 2. After the installation was complete, the guys put everything back where it belonged. I didnâ t expect that, and I consider that to be an above-and-beyond item. 3. Also after the installation, the guys cleaned up any mess that resulted from drilling, sawing, cutting wires and installing equipment. The only evidence that Cannon Electric had ever been there was the freshly installed wall charger and 2 new circuit breakers on the electrical panel. Overall, the job was done professionally, courteously and quickly. Well worth the cost, which was reasonable and competitive to begin with."

"I just moved into a recently renovated home and couldn't power up a brand new dryer that had just been delivered that morning. The delivery guys said that I had two days to figure out if the problem was the outlet or was dryer was defective. If it was the dryer, they would pick it up and take it back and bring a replacement at no charge, but only if the dryer was defective. The only way to know was to hire an electrician. Luckily I found Julius and called him explaining the situation and the urgency. He was here within 20 minutes! Not only did he show up fast and ready to get the job done, but he was so friendly and helpful. He diagnosed the problem right away as the outlet, which wasn't wired correctly. He explained the problem and showed me as I watched him as he fixed it. Plugged in the dryer, turned it on, and it worked! So, I just wanted to again say "Thank you, Julius!"…he was great!...I highly recommend TR & JP Handy Electricians."

"Technician was on time, explained everything, careful not to make a mess and cleaned up all work, including patching ceiling where he had to cut open to drill holes through ceiling rafters to fish new electrical service.  Then installed the fan

"

It went very well the electric line was ran from the electric panel in my house and then the electric line was buried under the  ground  for about 50 feet. Then the electric line was brought up above the ground and mounted on a post with a GFI outlet with a plastic cover over the outlet. This made it very easy for me to use my pumps and lights for the ponds. The job was completed very well.

"The electrician was parked in our driveway at 6:30 am! He was knocking on our door at 6:45. When I answered the door and told him it was only 6:45, he said that his truck said 7:00 and he doesn't go by the customer's time! I think 6:45 is too early for any service man to be knocking on the door. He was not able to fix or repair the door bell but he was able to identify any issues with electrical outlets. He made some negative comments about people from "third world" countries doing electrical work that resulted in him coming out and doing things right. Inappropriate comment."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Rutledge, GA

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.
