"Hired Shane for some small electrical issues I was having, installing lights, switches, and information on further electrical jobs I am needing. Shane himself came out and completed the job(s) quickly, on time, and within budget, no hidden fees or extra add ons which other companies give you an ESTIMATE, but when you get the invoice things change, NOT with SHANES ELECTRIC, what you see is what you get. Very happy with all worked performed, and will re-hire for other installations.."

"Glenn upgraded our kitchen (new counter tops, backsplash, painted cabinets, and changed the plumbing for the washing machine relocation) as well as a few other miscellaneous items that needed upgrading. He was very professional and efficient. Always kept in touch and let us know what he was doing for the day, and how long it would take to finish. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a handyman!"

"My home is more than 30 years old and we it flooded in 2016. My electrical box was in bad shape. Some of the pins were burnt, the breaker was fried and couldn't be replaced. Now I have an all new load center and breaker and pretty much an entire new electrical system for my home. The pro was very concerned about my problem and genuinely cared about fixing it for me. I have not been sleeping well because I was worried about the potential to have an electrical fire due to my faulty wiring and electrical system. The pro came out yesterday morning and stayed until 7:00 pm to fix my problem. I slept well last night knowing that I was safe from the potential to have a fire."

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

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.
