I would to say he has done two jobs for me and both jobs were done very well and they were done above my expectations. In the future i will be hiring him again to do electrical works for me.

"Mr. Reed was extremely friendly when I called to inquire about services. He also was very accommodating with scheduling and able to come out the next morning. He communicated well and thoroughly. He fixed one of the problems with ease, and while the source of another issue was not able to be identified, I was most impressed with his tenacity, time he spent both looking for the source of the problem and talking to me, as well as the effort he put forth trouble-shooting the matter. I look forward to receiving his quote to rewire the outdoor lines in question and highly recommend him, based on his professionalism, friendliness, honesty, and straight-forward communication."

"Jacob has done various electrical jobs around my home from bringing power to the far point of my patio to replacing faulty outlets to adding circuits to installing expensive designer lighting and ceiling fans. The work is always excellent and his prices are fair. I give his name to people frequently and without reservation and they always give me glowing feedback. I would not hesitate to hire him any time I need electrical work done around my home."

"It went very well. The electricians did their work with lightening speed and accuracy. One laid down on the floor and changed an electrical outlet under the computer desk without having 2 move the desk. Things were done in a flash with unbelievable speed. They both kept as busy as bees. They were kind and considerate and communicated well with us during the time spent here. One went up into the attic and checked the wiring at my request. He found four places where wiring needed to be rectified, and he did it. They charged only 4 parts used and going up into attic using the $299 for an Electrician for a day for labor cost. We were relieved 2 get the work done in such a timely fashion and completely amazed at the speed of work. My wife couldn't believe the speed with which the kitchen light switch was changed. I couldn't believe the speed with which an outdoor outlet was installed from scratch. All I can say is "Wow!""

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Ward, AR

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.
