"Ahmad is a talented electrician with a keen eye for safety and electrical code. He identified and fixed many “good enough” wiring from past contractors, took the time to explain the challenges, and gave me options to resolve it. I am satisfied with his work and would hire him again."

"The contractor was excellent. We signed the contract on September 11, 2015 and the system was fully operational on November 20, 2015.  My house is all electric,( heat pump, well pump, the works ).  Over the winter our highest bill was $ 220.00. Over the summer most bills were about $9.00. One month, AEP actually owed us $15.00.  Given the size of our house (1400 sq. ft.) and our usage, we expect to reach break even in 4.5 years.  Given that the panels are good for 25 years, I'll realize a profit for 20.5 years. This means panels are actually going to be earning money for me? Getting solar panels is a no brainer.


I whole heartedly recommend RES."

"The pros at Intrinsic Electrical have been my go to electricians for years. They’ve upgraded my electrical panel, installed light fixtures, replaced receptacles (outlets), installed switches, and, most recently, completed all the electrical work needed for my bathroom remodel. Not only do I recommend them, I recommend not wasting your time considering anyone else."

".The original deal was for 6 lights at $649.  We added some extra work for an additional $1700.  The designer worked with us and made recommendations to help us get what we wanted.  Communication was good and the work was done as scheduled.  I wasn't as impressed with the quality of the work.  They are spots where the wire is exposed and not completely buried.  The wiring to the lights that were mounted on the fence were secured with a wire tie.  I expected something a little cleaner and neater than that.  The lights themselves do the job they were designed to do and we are pleased with that.  I guess overall I am a little disappointed with the quality of work vs. the cost."

"It was 2 brothers who showed up and they were so nice.  They were quick but did a great job! They even painted more than I expected - I would definitely hire them for more painting and other home improvement jobs!

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Walkerton, VA

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.
