"The team at Current Electric was very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. Work was performed well. Communication and punctuality were top notch. My only minor complaint is they are on the pricier side of electrical contractors. But with most work you get what you pay for."

Customers say: Quality work

"Tim was highly professional and punctual in fact they showed up an hour early. I wasn’t able to be home while Tim was performing the work. But he kept me in the loop the entire time. He advices a better alternative to solve my electrical outlet needs. Tim was very responsive with addressing all of the questions I asked via text leading up to the install day. Over the last couple of years I’ve had electrical work done by three other electricians two of which were good. Overall the level of service Tim provided was above and beyond."

"I hired them for some electrical work at my home and was impressed right away with how straightforward and honest they were. The pricing was very fair compared to other quotes I received, and they took the time to explain exactly what I was paying for so there were no surprises. The technician arrived on time, worked efficiently, and clearly knew what he was doing. Everything was completed to a high standard, and you can tell they focus on doing quality work rather than cutting corners. It’s not easy to find someone who balances good pricing with solid workmanship, but they nailed both. Overall, great value for the money. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone looking for dependable service at a fair price, and I wouldn’t hesitate to call them again."

"I couldn't be happier. From Mike the estimator, who first tried to locate the problem wiring but the wiring was about 60 to 70 years old. We knew it needed to be replaced. Mike was there about 2 to 3 hours and didn't charge us for that time. Our electricians, Kris and Adam were wonderful. Since I would have all ceiling boxes installed I was told I could have one in every room if I wanted. I had ceiling fans put up in the kitchen, dining room, living room and my daughters bedroom. All rooms but the other bedroom as no one stays in that room and I already had the light fixture. She got motion sensor closets that not only go on when the closet is opened, they are quite bright for her to see her clothes, which was a big problem for her in the past. The back hallway has always been an issue changing lightbulbs as it is a really high ceiling and very hard to change bulbs. They put in recessed lighting with LED lightbulbs that they say will last 50 years. They also put one of these recessed lighting in the kitchen in leu of the tulip light fixture that she had. They even fixed the outside lighting so when our dog goes out at night we can actually put a light on for him. (He is a black lab, very hard to see in the dark.) The whole job was completed in 4 days and they cleaned up great. I am very impressed and will definitely use them again."

"Pleasant person, he seemed knowledgeable, but a price outrageous, for a small thing like get the electric to the laundry room, where the electric panel is right door.... $800, for our family budget is too much, especially we have so much work to do yet.... we found a licensed electrician for the same job asking $300, BIG DIFFERENCE !"

"When I first contacted Watry Homes I had it already in my head they would be out of my price range but thought it could not hurt to get an estimate just the same.  Boy, was I wrong!  Of all the estimates I had gotten, they were the only one that was able to accommodate what I needed or wanted and the price I could afford.
The crew was very polite and did the job in a very timely fashion.  They actually finished the project with the exception of a few little details while I was out of town. I'm in the military and had to work the weekend they did the job.   Before I left I had joked that when I got back I wouldn't recognize the house & probably drive right past it...lol!  Of course I didn't but honestly when I first saw it, it was like I had a new home.  It was exactly the color I wanted and it looked wonderful!!    Even though I was still in uniform and tired from working, I must have walked around the house over & over for at least an hour before I finally took my suitcase in the house.  I just couldn't believe it was my house!
The following weekend they came back & finished the final few little things I needed done (put a light fixture up, the house numbers, finished the area for my flag pole and little things like that)  They were very accommodating!
So far it has passed two tests, one it looks great!!! Two, it made it through a very bad storm with flying colors.  The only remaining test will be on whether I see a difference on the gas/electric bill, which I am confident I will.
I have wanted to have this done for so long but didn't think I'd ever be able to afford it. I am so glad that even though I thought Watry Homes would be out of my price range, I still contacted them. Turned out to be one of the best things I could ever do!!!
Should I ever have a project down the road they can handle, I would not hestiate to call them.. THANKS Watry Homes!! I love my house again!!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in West Bend, WI

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.
