"We hired Price Light Electric to investigate why a few of our outlets had stopped working. Our house is wired in a strange way from when it was built, but Paul's guys were able to track down the issue. They were very nice and punctual. They took their time finding the problem and coming up with the solution. Much to our surprise, since it was a small job, they were able to complete the work that day. I was able to text Paul to schedule which was very convenient, and he got back to me very quickly! We had an incredible experience with Price Light Electric, and would absolutely recommend them to anyone who is in need of an electrician."

"Brian and his son gave me a heads up call and showed up on time. The switch replacement took less than 15 minutes and only cost $105 ($80 arrival + $25 switch). Brian is a very nice, polite guy...I will call them first the next time that I have any electrical issues. Found them on the internet and got lucky!"

"They upgraded my service panel from 100 to 200 amps in preparation for other work. They were quick, efficient and reasonably priced. I will use them again for my future electrical needs."

"Love working with Dan, Chris, and Shawn. Have hired these guys numerous times to upgrade my main panel, install a new panel in my garage, and to install a whole slew of other lights and receptacles. I believe their pricing is fair and more importantly, their customer service and punctuality have been impeccable. I plan on using CW for all my electrical needs going forward and couldn't be happier with them."

"C.S. Electric was absolutely amazing on every level. Kind, courteous and knowledgeable. Not only did they complete the job in a timely fashion, but they diagnosed a significant issue that we had with old wiring that could have been a major problem. My first call when it comes to any electrical needs (both residential and commercial) is CS!!!"

"Very personable, listened to what I was able to relay about my project, gave me realistic options and recommended one solution and stated the reasons why - worked to replace my panel until it was complete and added a generator connection that I had been wanting. Top notch work and service - will hire again for future projects!"

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