"Josh from Upgrade Services was extremely professional, knowledgeable and friendly. He was the right person for the job! I would highly recommend them for your electrical work. I had to reschedule my service date and they were very accommodating rescheduling my services. If I need any future service, I would not hesitate to contact Upgrade Services."

"Although we reported the issue on or about the first of August, the earliest that Choices could have a technician respond was April 10. Considering that the average temperature in the part of our house where the HVAC was not working was in the mid-eighties, we felt that the response time was excessive. Because of the extended response, we were forced to have the unit temporarily repaired for the house to be livable. Your technician was very professional and explained exactly what he was doing each step of the process. Because of the extreme age of the HVAC unit, 25 years old, and the fact that virtually every part had been replaced, we expect that your technician reported that the unit should be replaced. The specifics of the issues are the following: 1. The unit is 25 years old. 2. The condensation coil is rusted and leaking. In fact, your technician had to add a pound of R-22 freon to the unit one week after the unit had been fully charged 7 days earlier. 3. Your technician had to vaccum out the rusted condensation pan even though 7 days earlier the pan had also been vaccumed out. Your response to what your technician and the one we had to hire to make our home livable advised about replacing the unit, will have a direct effect on how we view Choices Home Warranty as a reliable source of home protection. We have a second claim dealing with electrical issues pending and your technician is coming August 15. We will advise how that goes."

Mr. John Sherlock arrived at the time and date specified to give us an estimate.  He returned the following day with his assistant and performed the job in one day.  He installed 26 copper lightning rods on the flat roof of our 7,000 square foot home.  These rods were connected with 500 feet of heavy duty copper cable and were grounded at three points with ground rods going down through the drainpipes into the ground. All parts of the system were securely attached to the roof.  He did a neat job and cleaned up all excess materials.  We were very pleased with the job him did.  Since installation of the lightning rod system we have had no trouble with lightning striking the house or causing power outages or surges.

"On all of the replacements or repairs there was a time period of 1 -3 weeks for the repairman. They were all professional . You have to read the contract , I missed the electric part and had to pay for it myself so read your warranty ."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Chippewa Lake, MI

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.
