"Pat and his assistant were professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and extremely easy to work with. I would hire them again in a second and his fees were extremely reasonable for the work performed. We had an issue with lights that would dim, go out, or not turn on when other lighting and electricity was used in another room within our house. Pat worked with us to troubleshoot the issue and correct it. Then when I suggested preventative electrical maintenance to make sure the problem doesn’t arise again, rather than over sell me which I would have down hade he recommended, Pat instead suggested a more conservative reasonable approach and did not try to over sell me at all. Pat is a true professional and would highly recommend and use them again."

"Artie and Greg came to our house multiple times for wiring related to a kitchen renovation. They wired our new kitchen island for an outlet and microwave. They also installed new high-hats and pendants in the kitchen. They were professional, competent, and efficient. They did great work and I would highly recommend them."

"We hired Conte to install wiring and overhead light/fan fixtures for 3 bedrooms, and to install wiring and lighting for a large attic. We first got an appraisal, and the office staff had already tentatively scheduled a work date, which worked out well. I was at work during the process, but the crew of 2 electricians were able to let themselves in and perform the work. I came later to check it out and they did a terrific job. Frankly, if I didn't know I hired them, I would have never known they were there. Perfect work, everything cleaned up, and now we can see in the attic. They installed an illuminated switch in the hallway below attic so that we can turn on the lights from below and see (via the illuminated switch) if the lights are on or off. Definitely would hire them again."

"TriCat is very professional, clean, and prompt. Angelo is great and knows exactly what needs to be done. Their prices are also fair and comparable to other electricians in my area. The job was done on time. This is very important when trying to keep the renovations on schedule. I would definitely recommend them to a family or friend, and use them again myself."

"We had to update our panel box from 100a service to 200a service. Frankly, the biggest pain in the neck was coordinating with the utility company, but Greg even took care of that. Greg worked throughout the day with installation of not only the panel box, but the new equipment needed on our roof for the electrical lines to attach to from the street. The panel box looks fantastic, the space was left clean and the pricing was more than fair."

"This was my first project of this sort so I didn’t know what I didn’t know. Amped Up took their time to explain what needed to be done and my options for getting it done. I had several estimates but based on the information I received and transparency about options and cost associated with those options, Amped Up was the way to go. Very pleased with the work. Quick, efficient, and clean. I will definitely hire again."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Cold Spring, NY

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.
