"I ran into trouble when trying to rewire existing electrical in my son’s 1950's built, detached garage. I called Adam at Go Electric to come help me fix things. He responded quickly! Also, he was very knowledgeable in diagnosing and explaining the problems with the existing wiring which he had to trace and correct in the house. The cost was reasonable and the work was outstanding – highly recommended!!"

"We purchased a St. Paul home built in 1900 knowing that we would have to replace the knob and tube wiring. Nordeast Electric performed a very thorough and fair estimate right after closing that was easy to understand. KC and John were very knowledgeable, efficient, courteous and easy going. They came up with solutions to every problem and respected the integrity of our home. They kept holes to a minimum while replacing the knob and tube in our plaster walls and they always cleaned up after themselves. We had no surprise costs or upcharges, just fair, honest work. Overall, they were great people and they did a great job! We couldn't be happier with the experience and in the words of KC, youâ  ll think Nordeast is Cool! Sweet! Awesome!"

"I asked for quotes on a small job from five different companies and Randy's was the only one to call me back. We just needed a little work done to update a couple of lines and get them up to code and functional again. The techs also took the time to explain to me what current code is in the industry, which was most welcome. They also noted I had a surge supresor on one panel, but not a sub panel, so we added that in. As an IT guy with a lot of electronics around the house, keeping the numerous devices safe from a power surge is important to me. What the other installers fail to realize is a small job today may lead to bigger jobs down the line. My wife and I plan to rebuild our garage in the next year or two and install a level II charger for an electric vehicle as well as bring the house up to code as we finish remodeling it. The companies that didn't call me back won't even be asked to bid and the work will instead go to Randy's Electric."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Hopkins, MN

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.
