Customers say: Quick response

"Bill responded the same day to come out to give an estimate (no charge or obligation). His price beat all others hands down. He was prompt to arrive, completed the work in short order, and even assisted with rearranging the furniture when finished. Absolutely top notch. I would not hesitate to contact him again for future needs."

"Had these guys come out to my house in right in Saraland because I was having an issue with some outlets and lights randomly cutting out. replaced a few bad connections, and cleaned up some of the wiring that had been done poorly before. They also installed a new exterior outlet for me. They were on time, explained everything clearly, and didn’t try to upsell me on anything I didn’t need. Everything has been working perfectly since. Definitely recommend them if you need electrical work done! ⚡👍"

"This job was an emergency job and was a panel replacement. Steve called me immediately after the post and was working on it with in 48 hours of the post. This project involved calling EMC, a permit and inspection. He was under the gun and pulled it off. I was not around the house during this time so you can trust him around outside and inside your house. I will be using him for all electrical needs. Thanks Steve."

"How did it go?  Considering our problem began without any warning and was unlike anything I've ever encountered in my 42 years of home ownership, I needed someone who could  "hunt down" the source of my electrical problems.  This could have been a time consuming project and cost me MUCH more than what I was charged.  Turns out Mr Dozier has over forty years experience and he used it all to systemically trace down my problem  Considering the myriad of symptoms occurring, he had to sort thru them before he could determine what to check. After going thru my home's interior, he arrived at the house's outside connection - the meter box, where one of my circuit breakers was failing.  He then determined that further problems were on the Alabama Power side of the system and shortcut the interaction with Alabama Power for me by what I consider to be hours of frustrating telephone time.  He waited until the linesman from Alabama Power arrived and handled the explanation of the problem, saving me additional frustration and time. I'm not an electrician and could have never solved this problem myself.  We couldn't cook, use many of the rooms which had no electricity and in the summer heat of Mobile, we had no A/C!  If he wasn't honest, he could have taken much more time than he did to "solve" my problem and pad his billing.  He also could have left me to contact Alabama Power and leave me to deal with Alabama Power's bureaucracy. He did neither; he did his job fairly and honestly.  I cannot ask for more.  I recommend Phoenix Electrical Service and woould use them again without reservation.    L. Booker

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Silverhill, 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.
