"I am pleased to highly recommend Cole Electric for your electrical work. This week, I suddenly found myself without power in the garage and the apartment above the garage. This not only meant that I could not use my cars, but also that the heat pump, water heater, and two refrigerators in the garage and apartment did not work in what were the 3 coldest days and nights in Hampton Roads this year. I called upon the team at Cole Electric who promptly returned my call, and set up an appointment at a mutually agreeable time. The day of the appointment, Andy called to better understand the problem, so that the technician, Dylan, had the right parts on his truck when he arrived. Dylan was absolutely top notch. He performed a diagnostic of the two junction boxes in the house and garage, tightened all the wires and replaced some circuit breakers that clearly were the wrong type. The process took less than two hours and he explained everything he was doing. He left after double checking that everything worked in the garage and apartment. The next day, Andy texted to make sure everything worked. This was exceptional service and follow up. I am sure to use them again for all my electrical needs. They were prompt, efficient and reasonably priced. I have nothing but praise for their work."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Smithfield, VA

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.
