"I had a great experience with Solaris Electrical! Semir personally came to my home and did an excellent job. He responded to my posting very quickly and came the next day to install a 240 V (Level 2) outlet for my EV charger in the garage. He also upgraded my existing electrical panel and completed everything quickly, precisely, and with outstanding quality. The work was done neatly and professionally — no mess, no delays, and everything works perfectly. I’m very happy with the result and will definitely use Solaris Electrical again for future electrical projects. Highly recommend this company — Semir is professional, efficient, and reliable!"

"My Ring Video Doorbell was having issues with power even after using the DIY videos they have posted. It burned out 2 transformers. Shevy came by and figured out the problem and fixed it by adding a plug in transformer and ran a new wire and putting in a power outlet as well."

"David is an amazing electrician. He is timely & reliable. I have referred him to numerous family and friends including my boss. All of them have been happy. He works on ethics and does not overcharge for the job like most. He is an electrical wiz & just a blessing to have in your corner when you’re experiencing a tough electrical issue or wanting to add something new to your home. He is a must hire on my list. You will not regret it."

Customers say: True professional

"First let me say that Ali was very respectful of my time and home. He let me know when he was 30 minutes away and let me know early that he would be a little late. I had Ali upgrade my electrical panel. He explained the entire process to me and let me know of future work that would be necessary, which included a need to rewire the entire house. Although he gave me recommendations, I never felt like he was scaring me or forcing me into hiring him to do this current job or future jobs. He was easy to worth with and gave me many payment options. Ali seemed very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Ali and will definitely consider using him again for my future projects."

"My experience with PK and Altman Electric was excellent. From my initial contact with Elizabeth in the main office to the service that was provided by Raphael and Omar, the staff was professional, polite, and punctual. I called on a Tuesday, and Elizabeth scheduled me in for Wednesday! And Raphael and Omar arrived an hour early. Before starting, Raphael reviewed a TO DO LIST with me. A ceiling fan and two outlets, including a GFI and light fixture, were either replaced or serviced. Pricing is competitive. Very pleased and would highly recommend."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Jackson Heights, NY

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.
