"Ray and his crew thoroughly explained and reassured me about everything pertaining to the work they were doing for my electrical panel upgrade. Ray also took the time to talk to me and make suggestions on what types of doorbell or bathroom fan to consider buying. There were supply chain shortages during the pandemic of a part that I needed for my electrical panel upgrade. Ray made sure to keep in touch and provide regular status updates of my job. In addition, they cleaned up thoroughly afterwards and their prices were also very competitive. I will be calling Celano Electric for my future electrical needs!"

"After doing some research, I had a preliminary view of what needed to be done and the cost of the material for the work. Then, I contacted 5 electricians to get written estimates for the work. Four of the electricians quoted a price that was more expensive than Glenn. One electrician suggested replacing my current 200 AMP, 30-circuit electrical panel that was maxed out at 38 circuits, with a 40-circuit panel thereby only gaining 2 additional slots. Another electrician suggested instead installing a 100 AMP, 20-circuit sub-panel, which was the correct recommendation, per my research. Glenn also suggested this approach, so I immediately knew that I was dealing with a straight shooter. While price was an important part of the decision making process for selecting an electrician, price was not the only reason I decided to go with Glenn. Of course, he had outstanding reviews on Angle’s list (A ratings only), but of all of the electricians, he was the MOST thorough and MOST detailed at exploring what needed to be done and he explained everything step by step ... he also asked a lot of questions and analyzed my current electrical setup before making a recommendation. He provided a very comprehensive recommendation with 3 different options for me to choose from that provided an efficient sub- panel set up that was also cost efficient, but all 3 recommendations solved my problem. I decided to go with a 100 AMP 20 circuit sub-panel that will provide me with plenty room to expand in the future. Glenn completed all work in 2 days and I was extremely pleased with the job he did. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable regarding his trade, he is also very professional, quite personable; a very nice person. It was a pleasure to work with him and as I told him after the job was completed, he will be "my electrician guy" going forward. I "highly" recommend Glenn ... simply put, he is OUTSTANDING!!"

"Bill H from Gambino Electric showed up promptly on time for the job. There were some edge ceiling tiles that needed to be removed to reach the power line and Bill did very clean work with the removal and disposal. Bill showed cross sections of the older range power line and the new line installed, describing the differences in insulation and safety features of the newer line. Bill went above and beyond by detecting the wrong cord on the new range, and replaced this with the proper range gauge power cord. Bill also helped us to correctly position and level the new range appliance. I would recommend Bill and Gambino Electric for any similar household wiring job where safety and quality of work are a priority."

"Highly recommend Phil’s Electric. Phil was prompt, knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. He replaced a main panel, installed a ground rod, and replaced under counter lighting. Finding a professional you can trust is hard, but I found it in Phil’s Electric. Call Phil’s Electric - you will be glad you did!"

"Our electrical panel started arcing so we shut it off and had Frank come out and look at it. Initially thought it was from overloading the breaker box but come to find out there were several things done wrong that were fire hazards by previous owners and electricians. I liked Frank because he came quick and was consistent. A lot of people will normally try and upsell you and we initially thought we needed to upgrade to 200 amps based off of having all electrical appliances. Frank came in, showed us what was wrong, told us what we could do, what we couldn’t do, and assured us we did not need 200amps. He was also very reasonable with pricing. Definitely recommend and will be using Hammers Home Improvement for future projects."

"John, the owner quoted me the best price and did not try to upsell me on additional work like another contractor from Angie’s list. They showed up on time on the scheduled date and completed the work in a timely manner with no surprises or additional costs. I would use them again."

"Brandon electric was an awesome company to work with! Great customer service and a professional team. They helped us wire for and install two overhead lights in our bedrooms. They also installed a new outlet where we needed one, and helped by recommending the best placement for this new outlet. Thankful for this team, their guidance and their hard work! Would definitely hire again!"

"I hired Lights On Electric to run an underground line from the electric panel in my home to my new storage shed, 80 feet within the home and 100 feet buried conduit to the electric panel in the shed. This required a rental trencher and some difficult hand digging. The work was done in one day by Hank and Chris. They are able technicians and they did an excellent job. Hank and Chris are a pleasure to work with. I'm very happy with the results."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Ambler, PA

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.
