"Rodgers Electrical did a wonderful job for me. Many jobs in one. Very courteous, professional, and friendly. It was enjoyable for Mr. Rodgers and his son-in-law to be in my home. All of my issues were resolved and was not as costly as I thought it was going to be. I would absolutely recommend them to everyone and will ask them for help if any electrical issues arise in my future!!"

"Connor was great! He made an actual appointment (no 4 hour window necessary) and showed up right on time. He replaced a dimmer switch, modified a light fixture and fixed an outdoor outlet that had stopped working. He was professional and courteous and there were no surprises with the invoice as it matched his estimate exactly. I would definitely use again."

"The plumber arrived and spent 6 hours trouble shooting water heater problem on newly constructed home. He was good and identified problems and took action to correct, but could not fix water heater issue. He discovered there was not enough power, so he could not charge for his efforts as he did not fix it. He offered a $16 and some change monthly service plan to help with costs and I agreed, but he genuinely tried his best including replacing two heating elements. His company brought two electricians who were here for 1 hour and charged over $300 to report there was a break in the wire and did not repair. Next day the builder of the house brought his electrician for 30 minutes, made repairs finding 3 wires leading from breaker box, but only 2 leading to water heater. He diagnosed a junction box somewhere was embeded that the 3rd wire went to. The two remaining wires had been accidently crossed and were wired wrong to the water heater. He corrected that and was done in 30 minutes."

"Ron, the owner, was on time and very professional. He took me through the steps of how he determined what the electrical problem was in my remodeled kitchen. He didn't try to sell me on any electrical upgrades, which I admit needs to be done. The house is 63 years old and still uses a fuse box. But this didn't throw Ron who has 40 years experience. He was able to fix the problem, and the price was reasonable. I would recommend this business for anyone who needs an electrician!"

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

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.
