At B&N Electric, we pride ourselves on providing quality service that customers can believe in. We can take care of all of your electrical needs. Ask us about our weekly service. We look forward to working with you!

"They did a great job on my panel upgrade, fast, great quality and workmanship. Was responsive to setting up a time to come over for a quote. However it took 9 days and a few texts before I got my quote, and there was times were they were going to come and they didn?t show up. They did come the following week. The quote had some missing information that was discussed on the work being done, but that was taken care of. Good contractors are challenging to find, so I still appreciate this companies work. I recommend getting a few quotes from different contractors. I contacted a few locals from Facebook recommendations and those quotes did not work out. I ended using ANGI for a contractor."

My name is Scott Nelson. My company is called "SCOTT NELSON ELECTRIC"because I want my own name to be on every job we do. I have been in the electrical trade for over 25 years. I went to trade school school through "Associated Builders and Contractors Electrical Apprenticeship Training Program"(A.B.C.)shortly after completing high school.I am noticed by the "National Bureau of Apprenticeship Training"(N.B.A.T.)as a Journeyman Electrician. I worked for 14yrs. with contractors from the north shore,n.w. suburbs,and northern illinois. "QUALITY ELECTRICAL REPAIRS & INSTALLATIONS"is the best way to explain our service. We believe that being "neat & tidy"is one of the best ways of showing how much we respect our customers,and their homes.Our goal is 100% customer satisfaction.

"Nelson Electric is the best electrical contractor I’ve used in my thirty-eight years of owning and updating my homes. It is difficult to find an excellent contractor who is willing to take on a major remodeling project in old construction, and who handles it efficiently, cost-effectively, and with perfection. This time we were remodeling a 110 year-old bathroom. When we got down to the studs, joists, and rafters, the plans were worthless because of all the surprises. Unphased, the crew was able to trace every hidden wire to destination and source, re-route them as needed, install a new, larger, circuit breaker box, pull wire through neatly, clearly identify and label everything, and finish beautifully the lighting, overhead heating, floor heating, and exhaust fixtures, making for a beautiful bath. Thank you, Scott!"

We offer the best quality electrical work, we strive into quality work. Very responsible on our schedule. We offer a clean environment, leave the project cleaned and strive on making the project go smooth as possible and avoid hassles and drama for homeowners.

"In May 2024, we embarked on an ambitious project in southwest Michigan, but ran into a significant setback when our original local contractor failed to show up and abandoned the job for over two months. Fortunately, we were referred to D-Best Electric by another contractor, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we could have made. From the moment Oscar and his talented team took over, we experienced a remarkable turnaround. They not only completed the project within the agreed timeline, but their expertise and attention to detail were truly impressive. The crews were exceptionally knowledgeable, demonstrating a high level of professionalism and skill in every aspect of their work. What truly stood out was how D-Best Electric went above and beyond by addressing numerous additional requests and adjustments without any hesitation. Their commitment to customer satisfaction and excellence made a significant difference in the overall experience. Given our outstanding experience, we will undoubtedly rely on D-Best Electric for all our future projects. I wholeheartedly recommend them for any residential or commercial electrical work—trust me, you won’t be disappointed!"

Electrical wiring or panel upgrades FAQs

The timeframe for relocating an electrical panel varies based on project complexity. Simple relocations might be completed in a single day, while more complex projects could require multiple days. Factors affecting completion time include the distance of the move, accessibility of work areas, and whether any upgrades are being made simultaneously. Remember that obtaining permits may add time to your overall project schedule depending on your local building department's processes.

Yes, moving an electrical panel to an exterior wall is possible and falls within the same cost range of $1,500 to $4,000. This approach may provide better accessibility for utility workers and emergency situations. When considering exterior placement, discuss with your electrician how local climate conditions might affect the installation and what protective measures would be appropriate. Some local building codes may have specific requirements for exterior electrical installations.

Installing a new electrical meter box costs between $200 and $500. However, relocating a meter often involves your utility company and your electrician. The utility company needs to disconnect and reconnect service, and it may have its own procedures and timeframes. Contact your electricity provider early in your planning process to understand their specific requirements for meter relocations.

Upgrading your electrical panel during relocation can be cost-effective if your home has increasing power demands. Enhancing capacity from 100 amps to 200 amps adds $1,200 to $2,000 to the project cost. This upgrade makes sense for homes with multiple high-draw appliances, electric vehicle charging, or extensive electronics. Combining the upgrade with relocation is more economical than completing these as separate projects and provides improved capacity for future electrical needs.
