"A technician from Thomas Edison Electric was available to come to our home on the same day of my request for project quotes. He was able to problem solve the issue and prepared a quote for upgrading the electric vehicle charger. We have not yet decided to do the upgrade but much appreciated the consultation and quote."

"Professional estimate with a quick turn around when the work was agreed to. In home work was quick and clean. Pricing was fair and accurate. The technicians were on time, skilled, and professional. We are very pleased with the service, and we are already enjoying the new equipment. The next time that electrical service is required, I will definitely call Forrest Healey first."

"This company was responsive from our first phone contact. Their electrician, Joey, came out to give us an estimate. By the care he took determining exactly how to go about this job, we felt he knew his craft. Joey came out and worked all day, even updating wiring that we were unaware was sketchy plus others that we suspected to be poorly done by a contractor. It turned out that we needed another circuit. Joey went out to get it and came back to finish the job. Joey, not only proved very competent, but he was personable and professional. I highly recommend this company. Be sure to ask for Joey. We intend to do the same should we need electrical work done in the future."

"In the garage in our house, there was a wire leading from the outlet for our garage door opener up into the ceiling, and we did not know what it was for. Apparently, the previous owner had done it and the electrical box was open with wire running out of it. Mr. Herrera came in traced where the wire went, put a new box in to clean up the mess. He traced the wire, reran it to the panel with a separate breaker. His work was clean and neat. He treated me like a professional should, and I highly recommend him."

"We had them twice. It was per hour and I think we had them for about two or two and a half hours. Their work was excellent. The only thing that surprised me was, they had a fee for a first time use. And they said the fee would be waived if we used them within 30 days again. It really wasn’t that they quoted say $85 a hour, it was really $85 plus $25 or something like that, in addition. I thought that was not really very accurate. When they say it is such and such an hour, but by the way if you have never used us, we are going attach this other cost on to it. The gentleman was very polite and competent.  He didn't dawdle around, he seemed to get right to his job. There is nothing that I could say was negative about him. There was something that he couldn’t do and I am trying to think what it was, and he said he wasn’t comfortable with doing it, so he didn’t do it. It was something electrical. It was a fairly short time from when we called to when we got service, may be 3 or 4 days. We were satisfied with everything he did."

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