"Klaus moved our wired electric panel and re-wired the entire kitchen. He added amazing lighting including recessed lighting, under counter lighting and toe kick lighting. He installed relocated electrical receptacles for the dishwasher, garbage disposal and water pump. Did beautiful finish work. Very good at communicating and saying yes when I asked for more. Pricing very reasonable. Very dependable and amicable. Highly recommended."

"I hired Brett, the owner of Bright Electrical Solutions, to address an issue with a breaker that kept tripping. He replaced the breaker and also replaced one of the outlets with a GFCI reset outlet. Brett was professional from beginning to end. He was punctual and took the time to clearly explain to my husband and me what he replaced and why. Because of the excellent service we received, I would definitely recommend him to my family and friends if they ever need an electrician. We now have an electrician we trust, and I will be seeing him again in two to three weeks to replace our ceiling fans.. Andrea E."

"I am one very Satisfied customer! Chris and Debra of Galloway Electrical arrived early, took a quick look at what needed to be done, provided a very reasonable price that I accepted and grabbed their tools and went to work. They were very thorough, kept us informed of the progress, explained everything and even provided recommendations for future upgrades. Chris and Debra were very professional, courteous, respectful of our property and a pleasure to talk to. My wife and I were very happy with the final product and will definitely hire Galloway Electrical for any future electrical needs! A big "Thank You" to both Chris and Debra!!!"

"I called J A Electric and a man came out the next day. He worked quickly and solved my problem in less than an hour. Two electrical outlets weren’t working. He diagnosed the problem and changed out the bad switch in no time at all."

"Supreme Electric was great. They showed up on time, worked quickly and swapped out the cheap plastic electric boxes and installed the ceiling fans we provided all while cleaning up and leaving no trace. I've had bad experiences before, but this was far different. We are very happy that such a small job was done promptly and done well. That can be hard to find these days. We will definitely hire again as we still need a few things done."

"Jorge, Jorge Jr. and their crew are a VERY professional outfit. After taking several estimates from the top-rated Angie's listed contractors in my area, I decided to go with George's Painting based not only on price(his estimate was about the median of all) but based on the very friendly, responsive and knowledgeable Jorge. He came onsite to do the estimate, and made me feel very confident in his crew's ability to do the job.
He impressed me with his knowledge of the process of cleaning and staining fences and decks.  Every question I had for him, he patiently answered. His group also did some minor carpentry work--replacing damaged fence boards and 4x4 deck posts-- Both performed to perfection. Jorge also stood out by mentioning that he preferred to use premium products so the job would last.
His crew was onsite promptly when promised (8:30 meant 8:30, not sometime around 10) Each crew member was courteous and professional. They worked quickly and did an excellent job.
Any time I had to contact Jorge (as we were working on the final scope of work, etc..) he responded in a VERY timely manner.
The end product is the BEST looking back yard in my town-home area.
Thanks to all the guys at George's Painting Inc! We will be calling again when it's time to do more painting.

"This review is particularly for Darius who was punctual, professional and good at his work. We are getting ready to rent our place out so we had a list of random items that needed completing that we didn't have the time, expertise or desire to do prior to moving out. We purchased the Handyman for the Day and I gave him my list of things to do and he got right to it and did an excellent job. Several jobs that would have taken me and my husband at least half a day he did in only a few hours and he even fixed and exterior trim issue that I figured we'd need to pay a siding company to do. We will be using Myriad for all of our handyman needs in the future if Darius' work quality is anything like the rest of their workers."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Chesapeake City, MD

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.
