"My experience with First Choice Electrical was an outstanding one. Jeff quickly responded to my request for an electrician to take on this job to replace an electrical panel. He provided a comprehensive price quote after getting all the necessary information from me including pictures. The price for the panel replacement was very reasonable. Jeff did a thorough and very professional job replacing it He explained what was being done and patiently answered all my questions. I was very impressed with the excellent work he did and the obviously very high professional standards he holds. As confirmation of the high caliber of work done the city inspector gave it his complete approval. The whole process including getting the necessary permits was very smooth and efficient. I’m very happy I went with 1st Choice Electrical to do this job and I can enthusiastically recommend them to anyone needing to have the highest quality of electrical work done at an affordable price."

"I highly recommend and encourage you to contract with this company for any of your electrical needs! I am having a new kitchen installed into a space that has no previous hookups, circuits, or sufficient lighting. They got everything done in just a matter of a few hours, but, most importantly, did not sacrifice quality work for being fast. They are friendly, accommodating, professional, high quality, determined to make you happy, and honest in their pricing. They will be the only company I use for any future electric needs!"

"This is the second time I hired SeaTown Electric to replace lighting fixtures in my home. They came right out assessed my need and came a week later prepared to install the fixture I needed in my bathroom. Colby did a neat and careful installation and when he was inspecting my electrical panel, I let it be known that I was also in the market for a new furnace for my manufactured home. SeaTown then send Cody out to assess my rusting old furnace, and asked if I wanted him to look for one that would fit the small space where my old furnace was sitting, I told him yes, and he called that day with an estimate for the new furnace and its installation. Great guys at SeaTown and Kaitlyn, too who helped me figure out the electrical jargon. Don't understand? Call and talk to Kaitlyn. She'll clear things up for you."

"From estimate, to selection of The Juice Company, to scheduling, they made the entire process painless. Had 2 15 amp "peanut" breakers installed to replace an existing breaker and establish a new circuit, and 2 new outlets installed. We also had low voltage network cable roughed in so I could terminate it later, and everything was done not only properly, but quickly. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing electrical work done in the South Sound region."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Tacoma, WA

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.
