"Andy Morris was very professional and personable. When he realized our electrical situation, he offered to come out on the holiday to fix our problems. He arrived on the time he specified, and immediately got to work to solve all our electrical problems and charged a reasonable price for his work. He was efficient , neat and also made some helpful suggestions. We highly recommend Andy Morris. Cheryl & Rich C., Summerton, SC"

"Reliable work. Fair price. Great guy. Nick is my go to electrician for any job big or small at my house. Have used Nick 10+ times over the past 7 years. He works hard and kept every commitment, even if that meant staying late or working weekends. When you find someone like Nick you stop looking, I can’t recommend him enough."

"Raleigh of Jett Electrical Services and his crew is the best contractor I have ever hired and it was a pleasure to work with them. They were prompt, responsible and they kept working all hours until the job got done correctly. Nobody else was able to do it but they did and after six months of problems we’re finally stress-free. We would gladly recommend Jett Electrical Services to anyone who asks."

"Mr. Hollis arrived when he said he would. It was a late afternoon call. I asked for a quote to make the repair. Mr. Hollis gave a fair quote for the work to be done and stuck to his quote after he finished. There were no surprise charges. When he arrived, he started working on the toilet. He kept his area clean while he worked. There was not a lot of tools or trash scattered around. His work was professional. He also had a professional attitude and answered all questions. I have been very satisfied with his work and will call him again if I have other problems."

"I can't begin to express my gratitude to Paul Zimmer and Detail Solar. I had a disaster created by a windstorm which caused my solar inverter to detach from the house and flip upside down. The conduit, cutoff boxes and wiring were all hanging precariously. Each day that went by caused more stress as all that heavy equipment pulled further and further away from the house. I called the company that installed the solar, only 18 months ago, only to find out that they had gone out of business and disappeared. Also, no one close to my address was interested in servicing my need. Fortunately, one day I happened to look on Angie's List and found a company with a Greenville address that did solar repair. I didn't even complete the application because I didn't think that someone from Greenville would come all the way to Myrtle Beach to fix my problem. To my surprise, Paul called me the same day and SHOWED UP THE VERY NEXT DAY to start the process of removing all the damaged equipment and wiring from the house. He made the house safe from any further damage and hauled off the debris to the local dump. Two weeks later, he and his crew showed up to totally upgrade my system, fix the siding and get my panels producing power again. I have since referred him to others that have solar problems and will continue to support him and his team any way I can. The bottom line is I didn't know that honest, thorough and quality people like him were still around. Do yourself a favor and hire Detail Solar for anything solar and you will absolutely be amazed."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Sumter, SC

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.
