"Eric Fierro did all I expected and more. He arrived on time and was patient as I was helping someone at a sale. He did his estimate and then performed the work. He was conversive, attentive, and informative all while continuing to work. When finished, other than the new outlets and ground wire one would not have known he was there. When finished the the charge for the service was what he estimated. I could not have gone better. Thanks to Eric and Custom Electric Services."

"I hired him through Angie's list. Was hesitant to use this service, but happy I did! Was easy to schedule an appointment with, called me back and we set up a time and day. Gave me both a show up fee and hourly rate over the phone. Very up front about hourly rate and let me know giving an estimate over the phone cant be done without looking at the project first. He still gave me a round about figure over the phone after listening to me. Had 2 light fixtures installed into an existing switch( I provided the fixtures, he supplied other materials such as romex ) Wiring in the attic was all in conduit he had to cut into to install a junction box. Job was done quickly and I was shocked how low the bill was when the job was completed. Very impressed with how everything turned out. Based on having hired other electrical contractors to do work on our condo association property in the past. I would not hesitate to hire him again for my home or association property based on cost and honesty. I would also not hesitate to use Angie's list. Just really a great experience all around!"

"Ricks Electric did an amazing job getting my power back on I had a fuse box catch fire and had to have a whole new box installed as well as everything outside. He was able to get everything wired in the new box and I have full power now. If anyone needs a dedicated electrician use Ricks electric out of Washington ia"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in West Branch, IA

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.
