"Prompt response. Fair price and great communication. A tree knocked out our electricity. HGE hooked us back up but left the wires hanging by a rope. Paul did what was needed to have us properly hooked up. Will definitely use him again."

"RJ was excellent! Very helpful and informative about the condition of the wiring, the options for upgrading, and how we can finance the costs. The company was very responsive and professional. In addition, RJ communicated clearly and helped my mother understand the situation and how she could best address it. Eric"

Customers say: True professional

"Travis and his team do outstanding work! Brent, Nick and Aiden did the majority of the project. I can’t say enough about their professionalism, skills and timeliness. They are extremely hard working individuals who clearly take pride in the work they do for others. They put in a new panel and rewired our entire house built in 1902 -not an easy job- and added multiple ceiling lights, outlets and switches where none existed before. They were very clean, used drop cloths and repaired holes. There was minimal dust, so my mom could live in the house during the work- nothing like what other people described when they had similar work done by other companies. They answered questions and replaced switches quickly when we realized the original color we picked did not look right. They were respectful and timely and the entire process went quicker than we thought possible. Travis and Brent were available by phone/text if we had questions on days not working. Mom and I highly recommend hiring!"

"I couldn’t be happier with the service I received. The original scope of work was to replace an old electrical panel and install new lighting in the basement of our family cabin, and the electrician exceeded my expectations in every way. In addition to completing the contracted work, they did an excellent job troubleshooting and resolving several unexpected wiring issues. The project was especially challenging because all of the materials had to be carried up more than sixty stairs and across uneven terrain, but they handled the difficult conditions with exceptional professionalism, skill, and a positive attitude. Communication throughout the project was outstanding. The electrician kept me informed of any challenges and discussed potential changes before moving forward, so there were never any surprises. Their professionalism, honesty, and attention to detail gave me complete confidence that the job was being done right. I was extremely pleased with the quality of the work."

"Call this electrician to fix a blown circuit. Recommendation was to replace an outdated and weak panel. New panel and better circuit breakers were installed as-well-as labeling all breakers (not done on the old panel!). The work was done quickly and with zero problems since. I would call this guy again for any future work needed."

"If you are looking for an electrician, look no more. It may take a few phone calls, but these guys are the best! I recently contacted Paciorek Electric about a large amount on electrical work/repairs not done to code by a previous homeowner which have created safety issues in my house. Tim Paciorek was clear about what to expect in terms of cost and service. Their personnel showed up on time, were respectful, went over everything I had on my list and clearly communicate everything they were doing and/or needed o be done in the house. They spent 2 days at my house and I am planning to have them do some more work. I am completely satisfied with their service. I cannot imagine a more efficient and confident team of electricians."

"Luis did a great job upgrading our smoke and fire detection system. He was knowledgeable and professional. He kept his work area neat and removed all trash at the end of the job. I feel his price was reasonable and would hire him again."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Chester, MA

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.
