"Ray did such a great job on the electrical work that I originally contracted him for that I ended up having him do every electrical project I ever dreamed of for my home. He literally did everything from installing six ceiling fans, lights in our attic storage crawl space, recessed lighting in our garage and back covered patio and front porch, barn lights for either side of the garage, rewiring a fan with a new switch, a new recessed plug for an old fashioned school clock, and finally, a complete electrical upgrade from 100 amps to 200 amps including working with Rocky Mountain Power. Ray was always quick to respond and I felt safe and confident in his work and his efficiency. And he is interesting to talk to as well. A pleasure to work with and his pricing was more than fair. I am so grateful!"

"Did a complete inspection of home’s electrical system before even doing any work or giving us a quote. This was much appreciated. Did a great job switching out our ceiling fan. Quick and thorough job at a very reasonable price."

"What an awesome experience. Israel gave me really good rates without trying to upsell or overcharge. He was professional, timely, and it was easy to tell he wants to make sure the job is done right. He's not just out to do a job quickly and get paid. I have another project coming up, and I'll be calling these guys again for sure, and would recommend them to anybody who needs electrical work done."

"I'm so happy we found a good, trustworthy electrician to help us with our home. We've been able to do projects around the house ourselves but when it comes to electrical hiring the pros is the way to go. I'm very happy with their work and have already referred them to close friends and family. Our recessed lights look great and they helped correct a bunch of dangerous wiring in our basement from the previous owner. I'm very happy with their work and would rehire them in a heartbeat. Thanks Sego"

"The contractor arrived promptly at a respectable hour in the morning. Cleanly extracted the old panel and service box as cleanly as the materials would allow. The Contractor also cleaned up any mess that was produced by the job. All of my expectations were met. I would hire them again. Another thing that impressed me was this contractor checked with Rocky Mountain Power first to make certain trenching was required."

"Copper pine electric came in and removed two ceiling fans in our old 1950s kitchen then installed 12 4inch recessed cans and a dining chandelier. Kody was awesome and great to work with. Will definitely use him again for any upcoming projects."

"Cole ran speaker wire and electrical wire through the ceilings of my finished basement. The electrical cable was for an exterior hot tube and would have been such a bear for me to do on my own. Cole was able to run these wires, hook them up, and tap into my already very full electrical panel with ease. Cole has always answered my texts and calls when Iâ ve had questions and is super honest and trustworthy. Cole is reasonably priced and he wonâ t BS you. He is clean and polite and wonâ t make a mess of your already finished home or business. I would trust Cole with any of my electrical and other wiring needs."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Salt Lake City, UT

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.
