"We hired them to help troubleshoot some electrical issues around the house. They were able to replace several outlets and resolved the issue quickly. They were also able to give us a quote on a solar generator package to pair with our existing panels. Very knowledgeable staff, great customer service and excellent products and services."

"he was great and got the electricity connected within a reasonable time frame. He and Charlie both were very comunicative. He was going to provide a quote for some future work and provide a receipt for the work he did. So, far I've not received either. I talked to Charlie about it, but so far I've not received either."

"I bought an older house and was wanting to have some electrical work done. So I gave CJ electric a phone call and right out of the gate was very pleased with the customer service and effort put into even just a quote. I was helped with any question I asked, above and beyond. The cost was very affordable and the entire house looked great and worked great when CJ electric finished up. From start to finish they have been great to work with. No mess and no hassle. Highly recommend them."

"I have used the services of CES for several electrical needs Iâ ve had. I have always felt he was fair, honest and professional. One area that means a lot to me is that Charlie takes the time to explain what needs to be done so that even I can understand. One of the services CES has performed for me was to run electricity and tv wiring to my flat screen wall mounted tv so that no visible wires are showing. My wife was very impressed by what a nice job he did. Recently when I installed a mini-split unit in our second home in Cascade, CES did all electrical work that was needed to get the unit up and running. To say that I am a happy customer is an understatement. To find someone these days who has his work ethic, skill and honesty is a very rare thing. I recommend this company whatever electric needs you have."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Boise, 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.
