"After getting a few estimates, I chose to go with Hughes Electrical with my above ground pool electric panel. William did fantastic work, he was very precise and thorough. He installed the panel, pool pump wiring and the pool frame bonding. I also received an extra convenience outlet by the control panel for anything else I needed plugged in! The inspection passed smoothly will no issues. I highly recommend this company, amazing job!"

"Mike from Apollo electric did all of the electrical work for an addition to my first home. Mike is on the job each day and is a pleasure to work with. He is knowledgeable in all phases of electrical work, as well as in general construction. This was a huge help during the construction of my home addition, as he offered excellent suggestions to move the project along in an efficient manner. Mike’s work passed Montville Township inspections with flying colors. Mike has recently installed electrical upgrades to our pool, HVAC system, and lighting in our new home. All work has proceeded smoothly. I would recommend this company to anyone."

"I highly recommend First Class Electric. I called this morning and by 10 am Joey the technician was calling me confirming he was on his way. The operator who made the appointment was very friendly and helpful. The technician Joey was very knowledgeable and friendly. He is an asset to your company! He understood what needed to be done and explained his plan. He made sure I was satisfied and answered every question. I will definitely use this company again but I want Joey to be the technician. Thank You!!!"

"Lennie and his team is super professional and easy to work with. They offer quality service at affordable rate. You can’t go wrong with him if you need any electric work. I had flooring done for my renovation and he is able to make an urgent visit to help me install a stove line before installing my floors. Most of the time I communicate with Cathay and she is superb! I’m definitely hire Lennie again for my remaining home renovation. Lesson learned don’t trust your general contractor covering free electric service, you get what you pay for. Period"

"If you're looking around for an electrician, just stop here and give Dave a call. I had a fairly involved project that involved a service upgrade, generator, load shedders, plus new heat pump wiring, and Dave did a phenomenal job. He worked nonstop through extremely cold weather and ensured that everything was done properly and to code. Reliable, good communication, and excellent work. I would absolutely use him again!"

"Scott did a great job in upgrading my service panel (100 to 200 amps) in a day as promised. He does quality work at a reasonable price. Even the town inspector says he does good work which means he does it right the first time."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Essex Fells, NJ

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.
