He does an exceptional job and provides recommendations if he finds something that doesn’t meet current codes or he feels may be a hazard. We value his knowledge.

"Itâ s easy to write a Five Star review for Estey Electric. They were professional and efficient and also had the lowest bid. They replaced my 45 year old main power panel, did unexpected trouble shooting in the house, plus they hooked up my standby generator. I thought it would be a difficult job, but the experience and competence of Shawn, Dave and the crew made it go quickly and smoothly. They are certainly capable and knowledgeable electricians, and I would have settled for that, but it was obvious that their goal is to leave every job with a satisfied customer. I was so pleased with what they did for me; I told Dave, you are my electrician for the rest of my life. In my opinion, you canâ t go wrong choosing Estey Electric.

"I was under the gun, my home insurance was going to be cancelled if I didn't get the main electrical panel replaced. I thought to myself how the heck do I go about this, it turned out easy for me, because Sierra Smith Electric called, and Zeke handled everything. He understood my predicament and made time for my job and coordinated all aspects of it. He's work was professional and his price was very reasonable. Thanks again Zeke."

"I want to recommend JPH Electric to anyone needing a electrical professional. Sparky is easy to talk with and will explain what is happening so you understand. Very hard working. He worked his a** off replacing our 50 year old Zinsco main panel and sub panel that was sparking/arcing/charing. Good pricing. Price charged/paid was price quoted. And Lulu thanks you for the dog treats."

"The overall experience was good. Even though our roof is quirky and we have parts that are shaded, they were able to angle panels in different areas to get the maximum sun exposure. There was one glitch...the system wasn't working when we first turned it on upon approval from the electric company but once I contacted them they were quick to come out. The problem was a switch that hadn't pushed on properly and was an easy fix. We felt like they worked very hard to get the system in for us quickly and were polite and professional throughout the experience."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Washington, CA

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.
