"I recently had Best Dressed Electric replace my doorbell chime and fix some lighting issues in my home, and I’m extremely satisfied with the service. They were prompt, courteous, and efficiently resolved both issues. The doorbell chime works perfectly now, and the lighting is brighter than ever. I highly recommend them for their excellent workmanship and professionalism. Thank you for your excellent work!"

"The technicians were knowledgeable and were able to troubleshoot and repair the issue in a short amount of time. The company also offered same day service. The only issue I experienced was that scheduling was a bit difficult. Either due to availability of techs or mix-ups with appointment times, it took a few tries to find a day where they were able to perform the service. The price was much more reasonable than expected for diagnosis and maintenance and they rolled the diagnosis price into the total cost. They were even able to return after the work was finished to repair another minor issue. Overall I would hire DK Electrical Solutions again and recommend them to friends and family in the future."

"I called this electrician independently from homeadvisor for a problem I was having with a switch. Juan came the next day and repaired it. I then hired him to do some other electrical work I had. He and workers arrived on time and finished in a couple of hours. The cost was the same as the estimate. Everything was cleaned. The only problem was the vanity light, whose box had to be moved. The repair to the drywall was not done well and I had to redo that myself. It was not placed in the spot I wanted due to some miscommunication. Juan promptly came back and moved the box again and repaired the drywall. I would hire him again for other projects."

"I've had Spotlight to my home on two occasions, once to replace knob and tube wiring and later to install several light fixtures. Joe provided services both times. He is punctual, very friendly and obviously knows what he is doing. Spotlihjt is my preferred electrical service provider. Dave L."

"I’ve used ILL Electrical to replace my lights in my home to recessed lighting and upgrade my electrical box’s voltage. The price was great and the workmen’s professionally done. As a new and first time home owner who knows little to nothing, it was quite informative and easy to work with this young man. I dreaded this experience but he helped make it positives Thank you!"

"Received $11000 project quote for a solar panel installation with 0% finance. The quote was attractive, and I decided to go with this company. Applied for 0% financing card and got approved for it. However, after receiving permits, the company changed the contract to 6% financing option. The company insisted that the contract was originally 6%. After much discussion, it provided me with a very ambiguous and small fine prints as part of the contract. The installation was done cheap. The guys used cheap plastic pipe to get the electrical work done and also made a hole in the roof to run the electrical line through. All of these works were done without discussing it with the owner. After receiving the payments, no help or guidance for setting up SREC. You get what you pay for. I regret that I chose this vendor for solar panel project."

"Mike was fantastic! The price for installation of recessed lighting was very fair. Mike took the time to go over what I wanted, gave me his feed back and was very professional. I was absolutely thrilled when the installation was complete. I would recommend A Shore Thing Electric to everyone I know. I would tell anyone looking to hire an electrician to call Mike first!!!!"

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