"We had an excellent experience with Awesome Electrical Services updating our historic home from outdated knob-and-tube wiring to a modern electrical system. Brian was incredibly communicative, taking the time to discuss the project, timeline, and costs while patiently answering all of our questions. Patty was wonderful, making scheduling, paperwork, and communication easy and efficient. Their entire crew was knowledgeable, professional, courteous, and respectful. JR and Nick were exceptional foremen who went above and beyond to keep the project on track and ensure every detail was addressed. We'd also like to thank Mike, Julian, Trey, and Chris for their professionalism and craftsmanship. Rewiring an older home is a major undertaking, but they made the process smooth and stress-free. We highly recommend Awesome Electrical Services, especially for owners of older homes."

"Warnie is such a down-to-earth guy. I had a couple of other top-rated companies come give me estimates, but I immediately knew Goodside was the right way to go. I'm an advocate for DIY, but there are some things that are always best left up to the professionals. I needed an electrician to check our panel because it didn't look safe because the prior homeowners did very poor work. I wasn't moved into the house yet, so Warnie was able to go to my house and FaceTime with me to show me exactly what needed to be done. He took the time to explain why things had to be done specific ways to bring it to code. What I really appreciated is how Warnie took my concerns and found a solution for everything. I had mentioned that we planned on finishing our basement eventually, so he recommended a panel with more than enough slots to accommodate any upgrades we make to the home and for any future homeowners to come. Warnie came to visit in-person to make sure that I understood the entire process and that he could get it started as soon as I was ready. I was informed of each milestone and was always updated. I approved the work order and the permit was approved the next day that they applied for. They coordinated with the electric company and were able to start the job the day after the permit was issued! His TEAM arrived early in the morning and was done within a couple of hours. I'm going to have a re-wire completed afterwards (meaning there will be no indoor power yet), but Warnie made such a thoughtful suggestion and wired the circuit for my alarm system to the panel so my alarm could still function. The work completed is beyond professional. The work area was cleaner than when they started. I never once felt pressured by Goodside, I truly felt like I was talking to a good friend. You'd seriously be making a mistake if you didn't use Goodside."

"My experience with Livewire was perfect. They contacted me quickly after I visited Home Advisor, they showed up for the estimate on time, and they were equally punctual when they performed the service. I would highly recommend Livewire to anyone seeking electrical work in their home."

"They upgraded my service panel from 100 to 200 amps in preparation for other work. They were quick, efficient and reasonably priced. I will use them again for my future electrical needs."

"The entire experience was great from start to finish. The price was reasonable and within what I would expect to pay for the scope of the work. In order to upgrade my service the power company had to be called to disconnect power then CW electric did their work, then the work had to be inspected by a 3rd party, and finally, the power company had to come back and reconnect the power. CW electric coordinated all of this. Michael came out promptly at 8 AM on the install date, had the power company there 10 mins later to shut off power, and promptly went to work. They estimated power would be off for 6 hours. Michael had it back on in 5, got the work inspected, and was out the door at the 6 hour mark. He was professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and even offered advice when I asked about some future renovations I am planning on. I also love the new Leviton electrical service panel which is a nice bright white instead of the usually boring grey. IT has large easy to identify and switch breakers. They are green when on and red when tripped. Also, when I had a question after the install; CW electric returned to fix an issue that turned out not to be a problem after all. I recommend this company and would definitely hire them again and probably will in the future."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Glenshaw, PA

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.
