"John Horak responded immediately to my posting and drove 30 miles to do my job the same day. He was professional in every way; he listened and attended to a number of small electrical issues; mainly outlets not working, which required new GFI's. He also re-set the air flow on my cadet heaters for safety. I was pleased that he finished in under 90 minutes, and that my issues were solved without any major work, parts, or re-wiring. Given this, I was a bit taken aback by the charge of $750. I haven't needed to hire an electrician for a number of years, so I am not sure if this charge is reasonable, but it did seem high. Because the job was so small, I did not request an estimate before work started. I guess that would be a good idea, and I will do so in the future. Otherwise, John was polite, respectful, and answered all of my questions. The work was great except no cover plate was put on my bathroom outlet, a small oversight. I would recommend Horak Electric, Inc and I will probably use Horak in the future, after securing a quote:)"

"Our house is nearing the 20-year mark and needed some upgrades. Advanced Home Services helped identify a restricted drain pipe and plumbing vent problem. All crews demonstrated expertise, craftsmanship, and cleanliness. We had the drain pipes hydro-jetted and had them install a water softener and filtration systems. Hard water had taken a toll and now we have 3 new Moen shower controls and a new kitchen faucet. The crews were very conscientious about applying the sealant to the escutcheons to prevent leaks and double-checked all pressure fittings to ensure no leakage. We are very pleased with the outcome! They all went the extra mile to explain all options and kept us in the loop as the work progressed. Many thanks!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Blackfoot, ID

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.
