"The fire department recommended that we call an electrician when we experienced an odd burning smell in the house. I called Mr. Electric of Douglasville and talked to Lamont who was polite, professional, and patiently provided details on the inspection process. He was upfront with the pricing and scheduled an appointment for us the same day. When his senior technician could not come out, he came instead. The inspection did not find an electrical issues but because Lamont was extremely thorough, he noticed that there was a stronger than normal smell of gas in the attic and recommended we call a heating/air company to check it out. We did, and we found out that there was a small gas leak (!) coming from the pipe that leads to the furnace! If Lamont had not been so conscientious, we may not have known until it was too late. Not to mention, the fire department had just inspected the attic a few hours before but they did not notice or speak of any smell of gas. SO, THANK YOU LAMONT!"

Customers say: Super punctual

"Three light fixtures installed to existing wiring, less than an hour to survey work, perform task, and do paperwork...$387...Really surprised my elderly parents and me...Just found out through this experience, they have taken over the electrical for Ragsdale Heating and Air, liked it better when Ragsdale did their own electrical...So buyer beware when dealing with this company."

"Mr. Davis called me immediately after I requested a quote on Home Advisor. We made an appointment to troubleshoot and repair an electrical outlet and circuit breaker. He arrived on time and was very professional. He quickly located and repaired an electrical problem (that was also a safety issue). My wife and I are completely satisfied with his outstanding service and work. I am happy to give Mr. Davis my highest recommendation and will consult him for any future electrical work I need."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Waco, GA

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.
