"Came to my house the same day and completed the job. Mike the electrician was a nice guy and did a good job. $200 the first hour and $100 each additional hour. Changed existing ceiling fan, switches and outlets. I already had the parts, took 3+ hours, cost almost $500 with tax. Not sure if this is standard. I called them after another electrician who was supposed to come that day canceled."

Customers say: True professional

"First let me say that Ali was very respectful of my time and home. He let me know when he was 30 minutes away and let me know early that he would be a little late. I had Ali upgrade my electrical panel. He explained the entire process to me and let me know of future work that would be necessary, which included a need to rewire the entire house. Although he gave me recommendations, I never felt like he was scaring me or forcing me into hiring him to do this current job or future jobs. He was easy to worth with and gave me many payment options. Ali seemed very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Ali and will definitely consider using him again for my future projects."

"All I can say is that Luis and Eric are amazing! They installed my JuiceBox 40 amp electric car charger in an hour and half! Super professional, very clean work, and I appreciated that they wore boot covers so my house wouldnâ t get dirty. Since they ran the wire through my basement they had to remove my ceiling panels, after the install they cleaned the floors and installed the ceiling panels back like it never happened! All in all amazing company, super fair price compared to other companies, and their communication with us was beyond amazing. Dominic came by yesterday for an estimate and it was installed in less than 24 hours! I cannot say anymore amazing things about this company and will be a repeat customer for my other projects. 5/5 STARS! â­ ï¸ â­ ï¸ â­ ï¸ â­ ï¸ â­ ï¸ Summary: 1. Very Fair price compared to competitors 2. Highly skilled and professional work 3. Free Estimate 4. Will not leave you in the dark and will communicate with you throughout the process and any questions you may have. 5. Accepts Credit Cards"

"Brian did a great job installing my new wired doorbell. He was prompt, neat, and very professional. He presented me with a well-prepared written estimate (and by the way, I thought $750 to install a doorbell which I picked up from Lowes for only $30 was pretty steep, but I really wanted to get the job done ASAP). After the job was done he provided me with a professional digital receipt and then gave me some feedback on potential future electrical work at my house. His partner is also very nice (a little scruffy and rough around the edges, but a nice guy!). I am happy with my new doorbell. Thanks, Brian!!"

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