"This Company is great. Brandon Electric, Inc.(215) 722-2988 They got back to me quick, next day estimate; work completed the very next week. Dom and Lou are the Techs who came out to update our electric wires and boxes. They are very professional, hard working and friendly. They cleaned up after and had respect for our property at all times. They also followed Covid restrictions in place in South Philly. Extremely pleased. we found them on Angie's List."

"John was responsive and quick to set a meeting for an estimate. he honored the Angie's List deal for a panel upgrade plus a slight upcharge for going from a 100 amp to 200 amp panel. He also inspected an outlet I was having issue with. This original work was done on 5/27/2016. Unfortunately, when the cold weather came and I turned on my electric heat, it didn't work. I called John and he quickly made an appointment for one of his electricians to come out and check the heat on 11/14/2016. Adam and another gentlemen came out and assessed the issue and was able to get the heat back on as the heat was hooked up to another area in the attic of the house, Adam was also able to trace the outlet I had issue with, put a blank cover on the outlet and ensured the wiring was tied off and not an issue. They took there time and found out the issue and corrected it quickly. They also didn't charge me for the second visit. Honest and professional. Do not hesitate to contact John and his guys!"

"Electrical in an older home can be complicated. We had several people give outrageous estimates or never show up to do the work. Stapleford electric was prompt in providing an estimate and completed the work with quality. The cost for installing a new outlet and bracing for a large, heavy chandelier was fixed cost and other work was a time and materials rate. Both were reasonable and they knew what they were doing with the old style wiring. We had an additional expense to get plaster repaired separately but that would have been the case no matter who did the electrical work - they referred us to a master plasterer which was great. I have no reservations to recommend or use Stapleford again."

"hired DC Electrics to rewire my 3 storey townhouse, which was built in 1896 and had the old knob and tube wiring. I had lots of estimates from other companies and they all said the scope of damage would require me replacing my plaster walls and ceilings with sheetrock. Daryl is extremely knowledgeable about his craft, he was creative and knew instantly how it could be done without making too many holes in the ceiling or disturbing any of the crown molding. I was able to stay in the house for the duration too. Darylâ s crew were all professional, turned up on time and worked full days before cleaning up. He pulled permits and inspection was a breeze. He also advised me on some creative ways to light my house that I hadn't thought of and now I have lights in my garden. It was an extensive job which Daryl handled phenomenally. High quality work for a good fair price. I recently had to move an electrical panel to reconfigure a new bathroom. Again, DC Electrics to the rescue!"

"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."

"We hired Young's Electrical Service after receiving quotes from several other companies and having them not show up. Young's arrived when promised, meticulously completed the install and cleaned up after the project. We plan to hire them for additional work in the future."

"I used AMR Service Group to install an EV charger which meant upgrading my wiring systems as well. They came to my house for a quote and were amazingly professional. They gave me some advice and told me in front that I may have one or 2 holes on my ceilings. They came back the week after to install everything. They did a great job in less than 3 hours. I had a quick question on the day after (which was a Sunday). I texted them and they called me back on Monday morning to tell me what to do. I can go on and on to talk about how great they are. I would recommend them for any electrical work at your house!!"

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