"I had contacted (5) other electrical contractors for est. of our work. Two showed up for est but never provided an est. One provided a very high est., without coming to look, as if they didn't even want to do a small project. The other (2) never got back to us. Jeff came over for an est. and started right in on the project. He continued to schedule visits until all the work was done. Like his business name, he was very affordable, was quick and we are not held up any longer for electrical work. I recommend Jeff for your electrical needs small or large."

"Mike was great from the beginning. It took me months to find a contractor that kept to their word on getting me quotes and keeping to the work spec. We had a sub panel added to our garage as well as some lights and a 3 way switch from the house setup through them. Everything was laid out well, done with pride in their work and with no fuss about additions added by the electrical inspector for code. Everything was handled and I didn't need to ask twice for anything. Mike presented options of how it would be setup and we chose the best path forward. Communication was A+ and I never had to chase him for anything. The work was neat and done very professionally and I couldn't be happier. Electrical inspector also had no issues with their work and signed off immediately. I will be using them in the future for other projects I have coming and I'm recommending them to my mom for work she needs done as well. 100% pleased with everything from first contact to job wrap up."

"While they did a great job job with the installation there was no instruction on the runn of the generator such as how to operate the em shut off switch. As far as as I know they didn?t test to see if the generator work properly if the power was off. Also we were told by the per who gave us the estimate that if we went with Cote Electric that we would receive 6 sealed hardwired combo smoke wired smoke and co2 detectors which we?ve heard nothing about and it been almost 3 weeks since installation"

"Evan returned my call promptly, we made an appointment, and he kept it. The problem was solar panels and a connection that was broken. Evan found it quickly, corrected the problem within an hour and cleared off the solar panels which had gotten gritty over time. We recommend him!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Cape Elizabeth, ME

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.
