"Troy communicates well. He gave me several options on how to complete the work I needed done. The work was properly completed as discussed. Troy and his assistant cleaned up after themselves. I will hire Troy to do additional electrical work as needed. Thanks"

"Jason was very professional and polite, offered a fair price, quickly returned phone calls and completed the whole project within a week. He was able to find a solution to run a line from the garage electrical panel to the second floor bathroom on the other side of the house without a need to run a cable outside the house - all other electricians proposed a solution which would expose part of the cable in PVC pipe outside. This solution involves exterior walls penetration and aesthetically would not be very attractive. He also installed a new ceiling fixture which required rewiring of the existing wall outlet and wired and installed new recessed lights in the kitchen. Definitely will use Kenney Electrical again for other electrical projects."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Danbury, CT

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.
