"Ken was great throughout the whole process of installing a bathroom exhaust fan. I hired him because he was very pleasant and professional on the phone, and he understood what I needed done. He worked with the schedule and short time I needed a bathroom fan installed because I had a state inspection coming up. He would answer the phone when I needed to ask him a queation, or he would call back when I left a message. It turned out the wiring from the old fan was not to code, so he figured out a way to rewire the bathroom fan without breaking open the walls. This was important to me because it was a rental unit, and I did not know what to expect. It was a great experience working with Ken, and I would recommend him for any electrical work!"

"We had an issue in our house, with some of our electricity being off and some remaining on. we were told, on the phone, that it could be one of a few things. Don and Pat came the next day, promptly at the time we were told. They checked out the system and told us that it was a line issue. Don told us that PSE&G should take the amount of his bill off our electrical bill. His bill was reasonable, even if we weren't able to have it deducted. We would hire DLP again."

"Mike and his crew were awesome and super friendly. They showed up promptly and stayed on schedule. There work was neat and clean. Very hard working crew. They replaced my electric panel, installed 16 high hats, 3 outlets and 6 smart switches in areas that never had lights so they had to run wiring through existing ceilings. They were very professional and offered recommendations which we went with. I would/will hire them again anytime I need electric work. I highly recommend to anyone!!"

"Miguel was the first one to contact me from provided Angi list. Issac the electrician he sent was professional and friendly. The only issue with my project was scheduling. It started almost 2 hours later than scheduled, and I couldn't get any update during that window."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Hackensack, 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.
