"Excellent service. Technician arrived promptly and was finished with the work within an hour. Clean up was done after the job and the technician even took my old light fixture with him for disposal. Would definitely contact again for electrical work if needed in future."

"Steve and his crew are thorough, managed to do everything I asked and then some. They helped me begin finding and replacing several old wiring systems that were rigged together. house has been stuck with. I was given exceptional customer service when I wasn't exactly sure what was going to be needed next. While the bid was a bit high, I see it as money well spent. I have a solid 5 year guarantee on the work that constitutes the core of my electric service in a 103 year old house."

"We started with a misunderstanding: I requested a *full* electrical inspection - meaning *all* outlets throughout the house. Given the very quick response, and given I had gone through Angie's List to request service, I realized after our discussion that Eric probably didn't get what I was actually asking for. On the appointment day, Pete called to say he was on his way for our "panel inspection". After clarifying what I was looking for, Pete said he would get with Eric and work something out. When Pete arrived, he said that Eric would let him inspect 5 outlets and the panel. Pete inspected 2 outlets, found issues, and repaired them both. He then checked the panel, and charged me $150 for the extent of his work. I am okay with that, since he did repairs, not just inspections. Pete suggested that I just get repairs, as needed, rather than a full house inspection, as we have a *lot* of outlets! I felt that Pete was very professional and thorough. I will consider his suggestion, and when I need repairs, I will definitely call Anytime Electric to perform them!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in East Alton, IL

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.
