"Call this electrician! He s worth your call, don t wait for him to call you! He was fair, honest and went above and beyond our expectations. We got two other quotes, one being from another company (Service detectives) who charged us $89 for a QUOTE and then quoted us $19k for everything we wanted done. For the things we needed done (not the whole house but a new meter outside, wiring to the inside, new panel and several outlets rewired) Holtzclaw Electric did for 3 times less than S.D. Just call Brandon. You won t regret it."

"I thought the work was done well I definitely dont regret using them to get the work done however I did have an issue when it came to communication. I SPECIFICALLY asked him if I needed to be at my house the next day as I was staying in the hotel and I didnt have my own vehicle and he said NO. Well, fast forward to like 8:30/9 the next morning he calls me telling me that I need to be at the house THAT DAY. So I had to pack up everything and somehow find transportation to the house within a few hours or else I had no idea when I would be able to get electricity because he told me that he couldnt come back to the house for another week because he had other jobs. And my frustration didnt just come from that he was also saying that I had to give him the rest of his payment not even 24 hours after he completed the first part of the job and it had to be either a cash check or money order, well I dont have checks so let me just tell you my aggravation for my point of view I DONT HAVE A CAR how do you expect me to get cash or money order after not only having to pack up everything I had in the hotel and having to find a ride, he expected me to also somehow get a money order. He demanded the money but would not accept an electronic payment until I basically told them that he is asking for me to do way too much when I specifically asked him if I had to be at the house. Finally, he took my payment through cash app and was happy to see how quickly he got his money!... In my opinion, electronic payments are more convenient for both parties and should have been an option from the get-go. I hope this experienced changed his business practices or at least made electronic payments an option for people."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Herrin, IL

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.
