"Greg and Craig showed up on time, listened intently to us explaining issue. The problem was immediately discovered. They Greg was honest than we have some Magor electrical issues and today's job would not be a permanent if they explained in detail what needed to be done and answered all questions to our satisfaction."

"Schedule was great - electrician came and checked what we wanted done - advised us on choice of light and showed back up on time and finished the job quickly and cleaned up everything. Could not have been more happy with everything. Would definitely call them again."

"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! ⚡👍"

"Everything went very well.  I made my initial call to Mr. Dozier based on previous excellent reports on Angie' List, but I happened to reach him at a time when his helper had left for a shipyard job and he was poised to interview potential employees.  He described that he also does background checks so that he could feel confident when taking a new employee to a customer's home.  He offered to refer me to a competitor since it would take a few days for him to complete the hiring process, but I explained that there was no emergency and that I was willing to wait for quality work, as I had had a bad experience with a different electrician.  Hold me that he would give me a good price because I was wiling to be patient.  He gave me 10% off the hourly cost and charged me just his cost for need items like new boxes.

"Third time wasn't a charm, unfortunately,
Immediately after Mr. Harvey left I turned on the overhead light, plugged in the vacuum and 'pop' goes the breaker for the master bedroom. And it kept happening.
So I left a voice mail message the next morning.
And afternoon.
And late afternoon.
And then an email through Angie's List.
No response for three days and unable to use anything electric in the master bedroom (computer, telephone, stereo, lights).
So I called South Baldwin Electrical and they were out within two hours.
Made a few adjustments in the three-pole wiring and everything is fine.

Still have the crooked closet light installation with the 2" gap between the base and the glass panes but I'll deal with that later.

All this could have been avoided if Mr. Harvey had responded to any of the messages.

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