"Contacted Current Electric on the recommendation of a friend who had utilized their service and was pleased with the end result. Did not check prices with other companies, so not sure how reasonable the rate was. The circuit and 2 outlets installed in the soffet on the back of home was $589 for comparison. Technician came out on a holiday to provide estimate. Was quick and thorough. Received phone call to schedule service date within ~30 minutes. Technician arrived on time the day of install and performed work very quickly. Entire experience was quick, professional, and friendly. Price matched provided estimate."

"Chris Fackler is the best when it came to our project. He was very pleasant and professional to talk to. He is very knowledgeable and experienced in his line of work. He was fast and assessed the situation well to try to understand exactly what was the best situation for our home. He cleaned up whatever mess was made and very reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend him to friends and family and will use him again in the future if I need more electrical work or even advice."

"Heart is absolutely amazing! Look no further, as Heart is who you should choose to work with! They are very professional, punctual, and do everything right the first time. We have a couple of different areas Heart helped with, and so this review focuses on the HVAC work we needed, beginning with replacing our rooftop package unit. Every single person is phenomenal to work with, and very knowledgeable; starting from Mike setting up the appointment, Roberto coming out for the diagnostic, and then the multiple teams with Cody, Blake, Steven, Collin, and Cory working to get our unit replaced! I know it was much more involved than initially thought, and these guys were here doing all that they could to get our heat up and running again! They offered us heaters to keep us comfortable, and communicating and explaining what was going on every step of the way! We had an issue with the filter, and so Steven, Collin, and later Cody, came back a different day to create larger return vents for us to be able to replace air filters inside our home. They helped us so much, and removed shelving that was in the way too! We also needed our electrical panel upgraded, and so Cory will be helping us with that (thank you Cassandra for getting that reschedule). Heart also was able to have all of what we needed financed under one bill, which was a huge help! I cannot imagine going through the HVAC and electrical replacement with anyone else; these guys made it easy on me and kept my stress level down. My only regret is not having found them sooner back when we needed our water heater replaced. We will definitely keep Heart for any future issues we have, and keep with the membership program to have areas checked out regularly. Thank you to everyone at Heart--you all are truly amazing and we appreciate you so much!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Watkins, CO

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.
