"Excellent. Electrical work in a 120 year old house in not easy at best, its a real challenge that includes working in the old attic and basement. The fans are beautiful and both working as promised. They cleaned up after the job and worked steady the whole time they were here. Could not be more pleased and will use them again whenever I need electrical work done. Thanks!"

"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."

"Joe did a great job wiring and installing a number of lighting fixtures. There were a few issues with the existing switches but he went above and beyond to get it how I wanted it. Would highly recommend him. Great value as well."

"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.
