"We purchased an older home and the living room was without a ceiling fan. I also noticed some other electrical issues that weren't right so ultimately I hired Dwayne to remedy a number of issues. I took Dwayne around the property and we discussed what needed to be done. Project included a ceiling fan in the living room, an exhaust fan in the bathroom, reducing the load on circuit breakers to name a few. I also wanted an electrical panel in the garage for a 220 hookup. Dwayne discussed it all and made recommendations. Later that day he provided an estimate. I thought it seemed reasonable but had nothing to compare it to. Ultimately I feel I got my money's worth. Dwayne is a big guy and he had to go up in the attic to run wiring for the fans. My attic has blown in insulation and a very low roof line. He had very little room to maneuver and had to lay on his belly with his nose inches above the insulation, but he got to work done in record time. Everything went smoothly until the garage. Nothing about the garage wiring was correct. In the end Dwayne hat to run new wiring under concrete to get power to the garage which was fraught with complications and took a day and a half longer than anticipated. My bill remained the same as his estimated which is why I decided a got my money's worth. The only extra was a ice cold beer which he highly deserved. I would not hesitate to recommend Dwayne Olney to anyone wanting any type of electical done."

"AHS is ok. They cover repairs of most everything under the roof of your house. The companies that contract with them are not always the best. You call AHS with the issue, they send a fax to the repair company and give you the contact info. If they don't contact you within 24 hours, you call them. Sometimes they answer, sometimes they don't. When they arrive (usually three days or so later), they service the item. if it has issues within the 90 days, you call AHS again, they are sent out with no charge. If the serviceman decides the unit is unrepairable, AHS will allow you to choose a replacement from their listing (usually not as good as what you have) they will install and remove your old item, or give you wholesale amount to buy and install your own. Prices vary on what you want covered and what you want the copay to be, plus where you live. For me it is 49.99 per month with a 75.00 time of service order. You can have more than one item serviced at the same time under the same fee. If you have a SEAR product the repair guys are great. Not that wild about the other ones they send out. But it is a big savings compared to calling someone on your own. The cost of service is only the 75.00 copay."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Urbana, IA

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.
