"Excellent service. Technician arrived promptly and was finished with the work within an hour. Clean up was done after the job and the technician even took my old light fixture with him for disposal. Would definitely contact again for electrical work if needed in future."

"Mike with Professional Electric Solutions responded to my on-line inquiry quickly. He came out to our home to get a visual on our electrical request the day after I talked with him. Mike appreciated our urgency in getting the updates we needed. He revised his schedule to accommodate our needs and made upgrades even exceeding what we had hoped for. He installed an outlet for our 30 amp RV and an upgrade to electrical service at our koi pond. Meanwhile I am still waiting for a return call from an electrician used in the past. Mike and his assistant were professional, courteous and efficient. I have found an electrician for all of our future needs."

"We started with a misunderstanding: I requested a *full* electrical inspection - meaning *all* outlets throughout the house. Given the very quick response, and given I had gone through Angie's List to request service, I realized after our discussion that Eric probably didn't get what I was actually asking for. On the appointment day, Pete called to say he was on his way for our "panel inspection". After clarifying what I was looking for, Pete said he would get with Eric and work something out. When Pete arrived, he said that Eric would let him inspect 5 outlets and the panel. Pete inspected 2 outlets, found issues, and repaired them both. He then checked the panel, and charged me $150 for the extent of his work. I am okay with that, since he did repairs, not just inspections. Pete suggested that I just get repairs, as needed, rather than a full house inspection, as we have a *lot* of outlets! I felt that Pete was very professional and thorough. I will consider his suggestion, and when I need repairs, I will definitely call Anytime Electric to perform them!"

"RM Electrical did all of the electrical work for our family's recent project of finishing a portion of our basement to create a studio apartment complete with overhead dimmable lighting controlled by multiple switches, the electrical for a full kitchen, and all of the necessary wall outlets throughout. At the same time, RM Electrical also expanded the lighting fixtures and power outlets in the unfinished portion of our basement. RM Electrical completed all of the required electrical work quickly and professionally. RM Electrical also provided valuable guidance to us when we planned how we wanted to light different spaces in the new basement living area. At one point in the project, when we found that the programming for the dimmable light switches was causing a problem, RM Electrical was quick to troubleshoot the situation and find the right solution. It was easy to work with RM Electrical on our project. I do not hesitate to recommend RM Electrical for providing the necessary electrical work for any home improvement project."

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