"The job was to replace an old electric service panel. Matt answered any questions that I had. The work was done quickly and neatly. Communication was good. Should the need arise, I would hire him again. One picture of old panel, one picture of semi finished new panel, one picture of new breakers."

"Upgrade by James G. (JZG Electric) James G. from JZG Electric did an outstanding job on our main panel upgrade. From the very beginning, he was prompt, professional, and incredibly thorough. He took the time to walk through the existing setup, explain the required changes in plain language, and outline exactly what to expect during the upgrade. On installation day, James worked efficiently and with clear attention to detail. His workmanship is clean, organized, and clearly reflects a deep understanding of electrical systems/code and safety standards. He coordinated the utility shut-off smoothly, kept the workspace neat, and ensured everything was brought up to code without any surprises. After the upgrade, he double-checked all circuits, labeled everything clearly, and made sure we understood the new panel layout. The difference in reliability and safety is immediately noticeable. Overall, James delivered exceptional service from start to finish. Highly recommend JZG Electric!"

"The office personnel were great, polite and friendly. Nick, the electrician, showed up on time, prepared and ready to work. He quickly installed a new ceiling light and alarm pad for us. He was polite, friendly and professional and he answered all our questions. We're very happy with the new fixture and working alarm pad. Will definitely call them again with any electrical needs."

"Estimator came 1hr late due to other calls lasting longer than expected, no issue for me. The electrician was delayed because he went to the wrong address, but that's not unusual for my address (google gets it wrong). The electrician had no issues removing the wire. Worked quickly and well. Removed the wire as needed."

"I needed some general electrical work done around my house. Chris DeBarros showed up on time and completed the work as agreed.  I also had a serious situation in which the outside electrical box had become unsecured to the side of the house, and the PVC pipe which contained the electrical wires had become severed from the top of the box .Chris explained exactly what had to be done and completed the job within 2 hours.  I found Chris be very professional and would absolutely call him again.  I highly recommend The Ground Up Company to other members!

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in East-canaan, 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.
