"Had GLP perform a panel upgrade as well as install a level 2 EV charger in the garage. Carlos was extremely responsive and accessible. Very helpfully walked us through every step of the process from estimate to completion, always explaining the work he was doing and answering our many questions. Then, the work itself was high quality. Also very friendly in person. Highly recommend."

"They are professional, prompt, friendly with great rates. I had an outlet with the grounding prong stuck in it. I spoke with Jack and even though they were booked until the following week he said he would call his guys and find someone to do a side job. He got back with me the same day. He found someone that would come out the next day. I believe the gentleman’s name was Arthur if I’m wrong I sincerely apologize because he remembered my name. Arthur informed me issue was a simple job that I could do myself and save money also he would walk me through it. Now that’s honesty. I was apprehensive of doing myself so the electrician was at my home in 20 minutes. My cat greeted him at the door and never left his side which is unusual behavior for her. He played with the cat, not only did he resolve my issue he replaced the outlet which wasn’t necessary and was done in 20 minutes or less. I am an older adult so when I need work done price gouging is a concern however the final cost was beyond reasonable. I feel as though I robbed him. I highly recommend Blazer Electric Company!"

"We found a day or so later it wasn't working - we called the hot tub guys and insisted that they come out and show us what was wrong. They stated again it was wired wrong the ground wasn't hooked up and the neutral wires weren't connected. At this point we had it - the hot tub guys said it was the electrician the electrician said it was the hot tub. We called for a second opinion Select Electric - they came out and looked at everything - they rewired the hot tub to the specifications and connected the ground wire to the hot tub and connected the white neutral wires. He stated that the 20 amp circuit breaker needs to be replaced. We then paid Select Electrical $135.00 for their second opinion we asked if he could do it and he stated yes but it would be expensive. He said call the other electrician - Custom Power Electric to replace the circuit breaker. Customer Power Electric texted me and said they were coming out to see what he can do - I asked if he was going to replace the breaker as suggested he said if need be it's very expensive - I said the other electrician said that he could take it back to where he bought it and they will replace it. He said he would replace it if need be. I then said that I want it replaced. He then texted me that it was replaced and working. We used the hot tub on Tuesday and it was great. I went to check it yesterday and it's not working again the 20 amp circuit breaker had been tripped again. I didn't call Custom Power Electric yesterday to let him know. We've had this hot tub since 9/22 and only used it once and now can't use it. My husband and I both work and frankly don't have the time to keep dealing with this. My husband looked at the breaker and it looked like the original one - the scratches were in the same place. I would like to be reimbursed for what it would cost another electrician to replace the 20 amp circuit breaker and then have the electrician from Select Electric to come out and do the work."

"We recently hired Lighthouse restoration Group for a massive, multi-phase electrical overhaul of our 1920s home, updating a service panel upgrade to 200 Amps, and prepping the infrastructure for a future solar and EV charger integration. From the initial diagnostic visit, Vlad and his team stood out. They didn't just give a vague estimate; they provided a highly detailed, itemized line-item quote breaking down permitting fees, material costs, and labor.The project presented several unforeseen challenges, including retrofitting wires through double-brick firewall boundaries without destroying our original plaster molding. The team clearly explained the technical code compliance reasons for the adjustments.They coordinated flawlessly with both the city inspectors and our local utility company to manage the power disconnect and reconnect. They left the area clean of debris. I strongly recommend Lighthouse Restoration Group!!"

"recently hired Bright Room Electric for some electrical work in my home, and I couldn?t be more impressed. From the first phone call to the final walkthrough, their professionalism and attention to detail stood out. The electricians arrived on time, explained the work clearly, and completed everything efficiently and safely. They were respectful of my home, cleaned up after themselves, and made sure I was completely satisfied with the results. It?s rare to find a company that combines skill, reliability, and great customer service?but Bright Room Electric delivered on all fronts. I?ll definitely be calling them again for any future electrical needs and highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch service."

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