"Getting a whole house generator is a huge investment so I shopped around and got 4 quotes because of the wide range of cost estimates. Other people said the cost "would be around" an amount, and Brandon gave me a detailed exact price. Had people tell me different things about where I could put the generator. Brandon came out and explained everything and said I could put the generator where I wanted it. His crews (electrical, gas) were professional, appeared to know exactly what they were doing, worked efficiently, and left the job site very clean. Brandon provided everything I wanted--he has a long track record of installing generators, has been in business for many years, offered a 10 yr warranty, offers an annual check-up plan, and made sure I was happy with everything."

"Today, we called Mr. Electric because our heating system was smoldering at its old outlet. We had service almost immediately. Robert Smith checked everything and recommended that we get rid of an old, dangerous electric panel. I really appreciated his clear, knowledgeable, no-pressure advice. He and Mr. DVante worked hard, efficiently, and we have our lights, heat, and safe, new panel for a fair price in what seems like no time. An excellent, professional team.Thank you so much. The reviews are right on target."

"Bernard quoted $520 for the job. He did it in about 3.5 hours total. Approximately. Unfortunately we had the wrong ceiling fan and that slowed things up a bit but wasn't his fault. Bernard is very conscientious in how he does things and I felt good about the quality and seriousness of his work. He ended up charging us $425 for the work. This is the first time I have ever had a contractor fairly charge me when the job came in early or under budget."

"Highly recommend Henry and his team! It’s hard to find honest, reliable electricians these days, but this family business truly goes above and beyond. Henry was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly. The work was done efficiently, safely, and at a fair price. You can really tell they care about their customers and take pride in their work. We’ll definitely be using them again for future electrical needs!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Saint Rose, LA

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.
