"Aris was very easy to work with. He installed 3 new ceiling fans, an out of reach chandelier, and a new outlet and made sure everything was cleaned up before leaving each day. I'll definitely hire him next time I need electrical work done."

"We recently worked with LSVG Electrics to install our Philips Hue smart recessed lights into our family room. To start, the electricians from LSVG were fantastic. They arrived promptly and began by walking through the plan, answering any and all questions along the way. Since we had no existing ceiling lights they had to run all new wiring, map out the placement perfectly, and handle ceiling cuts. They did all this flawlessly - so well done we did not even need to patch or repaint the ceiling. The fixtures sit completely flush, and the Philips Hue system provides incredible brightness as well as amazing color customization. LSVG made sure all wiring was up to code, provided a warranty and verified the lights were all communicating properly with each other as well as the Hue app before leaving. They cleaned up as much as they could of any slight mess they created during installation. The whole process was very seamless and stress-free! We look forward to workin with them again."

"Outdoor electrical outlet kept tripping the GFCI frequently but with no apparent pattern. Couldn't tell if it was the items plugged into the GFCI, the GFCI itself, another GFCI on the same line, or something else. The technician was very methodical in his approach and was able to identify the problem as a bad underground line between two of the GFCIs. Not an easy one to solve. The wires were inside metal conduit but somehow water had gotten inside the conduit. Once the cause was determined, he knew exactly what needed to be done. The technician was professional, easy to talk to and did an excellent job. Pricing was very reasonable. I am very pleased with the work and would call them again for future electrical needs."

"Start to finish the A To Z Electrical Company is the best electrical team we have hired. Millie is such a pleasure to work with. She is efficient, courteous, and friendly. She helps to make things work seamlessly. Bob Iovino understood exactly what needed to be done and did everything in a professional manner. He squeezed me in although he had a very busy schedule. He is courteous, friendly, and in no time he had the job done and it was done right. It truly was a pleasure doing business with him and the company. We recommend them highly."

"Ralph and his son were great! Ralph gave me some suggestions that would work when one of the fixtures I purchased wouldn't work in the space. He was personable, efficient, reasonable and quickly responds if I had any questions. He left the workspace spotless. I highly recommend R Savvy for any electrical needs!"

"Mr. Electric was quick to help me with my panel upgrade and EV charger installation. They did the panel quickly and was able to accommodate a later install for the EV charger when the parts did not arrive in time. The work was very clean and professional."

"**Review for SS&E Electricians** This is the third time I've used SS&E Electricians, and once again, they've done an outstanding job. I live in an older home with a complicated electrical history — multiple previous owners and a fair share of DIY work that hasn't always been up to code. SS&E has been my go-to for untangling these issues, and they truly deliver exceptional service each time. This time, SS&E tackled a complete re-wiring of my kitchen, which involved adding breakers to the panel and re-pulling lines for my kitchen lights, basement, and even my furnace, as they were all improperly linked together. Their knowledge and attention to detail were impressive, identifying and fixing issues that had probably been in place for decades. The team was thorough, respectful of my home, and clearly skilled in handling older wiring with all its unique challenges. I can't recommend SS&E highly enough. They've made my home safer and my electrical system far more reliable. Their work is top-notch, and they’re the only electricians I trust for my home. Thank you, SS&E, for bringing my home up to modern standards and for your professionalism every step of the way!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Addison, IL

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.
