"Daniel addressed a not so straightforward switch replacement that I had botched. Not only did have to install it right but also had to diagnose and replace the circuit breaker in the panel. He also had to further diagnose a wire that had been melted and address that as well. He showed great problem solving skills, cleaned up and was extremely professional and friendly. Even though the job took much longer than expected, he still only charged what he had initially stated. Would hire again."

"The two electricians showed up on time and were very professional. They ended up installing a 100A circuit and the job was neat and well done. They cleaned everything up after themselves. I am very happy with the result."

"I'm glad we hired A and Z. Barry Goldstein gave us a call and come to our residence to look at the work needed. Barry is a great and sincere person and we enjoy the small talk but got to business. We were in need of GFCI electric switches in the kitchen, bathroom, and other areas. Plus, we need new electrical outlets in our closets in both bedrooms and have the pulley taken out, and ad a fixture on the outside of the closet. We also had a hazard with the powerline where the clamps that are attached to the outside wall of the house were hanging out. Plus the kitchen exhaust fan and the ceiling fan needed to be installed and they did. The crew explained what is expected in the process and the price. They placed it back to her tight in order for us to get COMED to fix the wiring. They came and fixed the job and did it cleanly and professionally. The crew was great to talk to and we felt they value customer service no matter what the job. We like their overall work and are responsive. I recommend A to Z for anyone looking for small to big jobs. Great job they did."

"I would highly recommend Four Seasons! I recently scheduled duct and furnace cleaning. The technician quickly identified an issue that necessitated purchasing a new furnace. I opted to also upgrade my AC at a bundle rate since it was over 25 years old. The duct cleaner and professional installers were extremely knowledgeable, friendly and worked efficiently to both clean my ducts and install my new furnace and AC expeditiously. I immediately realized a huge difference in my heat and air quality which I am sure will result in savings on my electric bill. I have even scheduled some electrical work through Four Seasons and plan to use them going forward for all my Heating, Cooling, Plumbing and Electric needs."

"Joe arrived on time to examine the problem and immediately knew what had happened. He explained his theory (that the line had been cut) very clearly and demonstrated why he thought so. His expertise based in experience in dealing with similar problems were absolutely perfect for the job I needed done. He scheduled the work promptly and showed on time with 2 colleagues since a fair amount of digging was required. They dug up the old line and replaced it with a new line—upgraded by running it through rigid tubing so it couldn’t get cut ever again. I even got another unexpected and welcome upgrade since Joe provided a GFCI outlet on my patio. The team was very thorough and Joe was an excellent project manager. He is my new go-to for all things electric. I am very happy."

"I reached out to Master Systems Electric to help with a small project. I actually came across them on Angi List and immediately they responded to me. After receiving a phone call I sent them some photos and they were able to get to me the next business day. They were very respectful and also respectful of the property. They listen to my concern and went over a few things with me that could contribute to the problem I was having. What I like is they didnt try to upset me on anything or try to make me pay for an arm and a leg for something that wasnt needed. They made it simple and talked to through the whole process. I would use them in the near future for sure. They were able to help me out and also give me some things to consider."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Chicago Heights, IL

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.
