"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!"

"We recently bought a new house that needed a panel upgrade and some old fixtures/switches/outlets replaced. When we first scheduled a walk through with Miguel he took his time to point out the different electric issues and what should be replaced. He was very thorough and fairly priced, so we decided to go with him for the electric work. Miguel and his guys were always on time and provided great service. The work was finished on schedule as he promised. He was also very easy to contact and responded quickly when I had questions. Miguel and his guys also coordinated the inspection with the town. I would definitely recommend Miguel and MDL electric to anyone who needs electric work done.

"These guys were fantastic. They were here two days after I asked to get a quote for someone to walk through the space and tell me what they can do. They did a full video assessment so they didn’t miss anything on their quote. The quote was more than fair compared to others I had received they showed up on time. They did great work. They were very efficient and clean. The job was perfect when they were done and they finished everything in one day which included rewiring my entire basement and installing new lights and new electrical sockets the customer service was fantastic. They told me when they were gonna come and they showed up then and they told me how much it would be and that’s what it would cost. Can’t ask for anything more than that. Highly recommend these electricians."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Franklin Lakes, 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.
