"We recently purchased a house and needed to change main electric panel.from expired old type pushmatic to a modern 200amp electric panel. Decided to get a quote for that but ended up having few quoted in which most of them were overpriced (according to 2026 data) and also seemed it was their first day at work based of the knowledge they had. However Eason Electric got our attention. We decided to hire Shawn, not just because of a good price but his knowledge and no hesistation to do the job right. Every question we had he had the right answer for. As soon as he got here to do his job he got into it right away, and also provided power generator in case you dont have any and need to run fridge or something else while hpuse is out of power. His job was done within less than a day and he left area neat clean and with a new installed electric panel. If it was an option for 10 stars we would give him q0 stars for all he had done."

"I generally really dislike leaving feedback. I find myself honest to a fault because I believe it's a responsibility to leave honest, accurate feedback for potential other customers. Then I go through this process of "am I being too nit-picky", "am I being overly sensitive", etc, and finally I don't leave the review because if it isn't good, will it hurt the business, or just as bad, reviews that say "they were great" isn't helpful at all....and so I buckle under the pressure of my own assessment. I say all that here to tell you I have ZERO issues writing this review right now. I reached out to Mr. Electric because a project that was supposed to start in August was bumped up on the schedule, and as always, I procrastinated getting someone to come out and move an electrical box and some conduit. I reached out to Mr. Electric on a Thursday, and the following Monday was promised someone (Travis M from Mr Electric) would come out and give us a quote on the work. Travis showed up right on time, and only was he super-flexible with whatever work I asked for (added in 2 outside electrical boxes besides the electrical box reconfiguration and move), they gave me a more than reasonable quote for the work and told me they could get the work done right then and there. My wife and I agreed, and the final result was phenomenal. Travis M and also Andrew from Mr. E jumped right in, and did a superb, professional job in a matter of a couple of hours. I would be remiss if I didn't say that not only was their work professional, their attitude and conduct was professional beyond reproach. To be fully honest, they looked and acted the part of professional electricians from a professional company. These 2 gentlemen represented Mr. Electric in a fully excellent way, and they will be my go-to for future projects. Perfect 10 out of a possible 5 stars!"

"Brendan is an excellent electrician. He switched out our panel box and was able to do it efficiently so that we were not without power for very long. He was upfront about the cost of his work and truly looks out for his customers. I would highly recommend him and Good Life Electric!"

"Samuel was responsive, punctual and provided great service. My project involved installing a dishwasher and garbage disposal from scratch which meant removing an exisiting cabinet, installing new electric and plumbing lines along with a switch for the disposal. Samuel got all of the work done in 3 hours and the finished product looks great."

"Very responsive and came the same day to look at our electric panels. We felt we received an honest assessment that we can trust. It turned out that we didn't need immediate repairs, but we will definitely use them in the future."

"Having suddenly lost power to several outlets & a ceiling fixture in 2 adjacent rooms (same circuit), I contacted HomeAdvisor for an electrician. Jason was available last minute on a Friday afternoon & responded within minutes of receiving our query. He quickly determined the problem was with a single outlet feeding those 2 rooms which, had it not been caught, could have escalated to an electrical fire (the wires were already burnt)! After making the repairs, he presented his invoice. What a surprise - his charges were MUCH less than expected! Jason is very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. We would highly recommend him to others as he is now on our go-to list for electrical repair or new electrical installations. Thank you, Jason (and HomeAdvisor), for being there when we needed you!!!"

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