"I called this electrician independently from homeadvisor for a problem I was having with a switch. Juan came the next day and repaired it. I then hired him to do some other electrical work I had. He and workers arrived on time and finished in a couple of hours. The cost was the same as the estimate. Everything was cleaned. The only problem was the vanity light, whose box had to be moved. The repair to the drywall was not done well and I had to redo that myself. It was not placed in the spot I wanted due to some miscommunication. Juan promptly came back and moved the box again and repaired the drywall. I would hire him again for other projects."

"Kope Electric just finished installing a Generac generator at my house and their work was top notch. They actually got me in their schedule 1 week early and finished as timely as they said they would. I highly recommend them to anyone interested in a generator."

"The electrician was very polite and professional. Didn't take any short cuts and was very knowledgeable. He got the work done in a timely matter and didn't drag out the job.

Customers say: True professional

"Howie was professional, prompt, friendly, and does good work. We initially hired him to install some light fixtures in our unfinished basement, and expanded the job to include GFCI outlets in our kitchen and bathrooms (where they were lacking) and extending several outlets flush with paneling and tile. Some of the existing electrical work was quite difficult to work with, but Howie maintained his good humor and did an outstanding job."

"The panel in the basement needed a ton of work and my electric meter needed to be moved outside. These guys spared no time being that I have a 17 month old in the house. They were diligently working to get my power back up and running right. I would recommend them to anyone who needs any type of electrical work done. These guys are the ones to call. Beyond professional."

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