"Had to get my 100 amp panel upgraded last summer when we lost track of the power draw and almost burned the house down. Quick response, fair price and manned the job pretty quick. Work quality is first class. New feed, and two panels. Power company wasn't happy about the height of the mast, but my trees dictated placement. My wife is much happier with the higher line. Lucky for me, my house appears to have been hit by lightning during last weeks storms. I credit the new panel, whole house surge protector and the AFCI breakers for saving me from a lot more damage."

"Shane asked all the right questions to find out exactly what I wanted to do.. gave me several options to choose from.. and told me the pros and cons of each option. He arrived on the day that we agreed upon and completed the job two days later. He used top of the line fixtures and wiring.. rented a trencher, and raked up the dirt into a mound over the new line.."

"Professional, outstanding service & available immediately: Trouble shoot electrical panel fuse trip after lightening storm; identified problem with ground wire between multiple 3-way outlets, made repairs, communicated cause & remedies & made repair. I can’t give NCharge a high enough rating; this is the second successful experience with them after the whole house generator installation. One stop shopping for all your electrical needs, don’t lose their number(!!!)"

"Matt, along with one of his managers Chase, was responsive to all our questions before starting the job. At first, I was put off by the upfront payment (100% Materials and 50% Labor even before material is ordered), but in the end it was a non-issue. The finished look and professionalism on site and "doing what he said he would do" was 100% satisfaction. His pricing was competitive, using high quality products all around. We did not have a roofing or gutter emergency, but flush with Uncle Sam cash, decided this was a good time to replace the 16 year old, leaky-in-spots, 3-tab roof which 3 companies agreed had a couple years left. I'm extremely skeptical - to the point I have lost contractors and a realtor who get tired of my doubts and drilling, but Matt was glad to speak on behalf of his company and the crews he uses. Ultimately, we'll have to see what happens if there is a problem in the next 10 years (workmanship) or 50 years (shingles), but until he gives me reason to doubt, I give Prime Management the Gold Star. We'll likely hit them up for bathroom remodeling down the road"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Shelby, AL

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.
