"Guys showed up on time and quickly diagnosed and fixed problem. While here we discussed she and load on house panel and had them install a whole-house surge protector. I had a post house get toasted by a lightning strike so seemed prudent given electronics in house."

"I recently moved into a new home with some electrical issues, and I had been searching for an electrician for several weeks.  I interviewed dozens of electricians and could not find anyone that felt right for me and that I could trust.  I had several issues in the home, the first of which I wanted to tackle was the panel and service.
I saw an Angie's list deal and contacted Jeremy.  He responded right away.  He came out the same day to look at the panel and had his team out that same week to complete the work.  He was the most responsive and most thorough of the 10+ electricians I received quotes from or talked to.  He is not only an excellent electrician but is also a superior communicator and highly responsive.
All of the other electricians I spoke with were anywhere from 4+ to 8+ weeks out with work and frequently did not bother getting back with me on quotes or questions.  Jeremy was no more than 2 weeks out and always responded when I had a question or concern.
As for the work done, I was very impressed with the quality of work that Jeremy and his team did.  I will be using Undefined Heights for all of my future electrical needs, and I suggest you do the same.  Jeremy and his team get an A+ in my book.  Thanks Jeremy!

"I recently received a job offer that required me to move across the country, so I needed to get my house ready to sell in a very short period of time and needed a panel upgrade. Breeze Electric worked with me to get the job done quickly, efficiently, and in a manner that my wallet certainly appreciated, especially since I was getting ready to move 5 states away. I truly appreciate how easy the process was."

"This company is very good. My water heater was beginning to leak and I knew it was time for a replacement and upgrade. Ecoplumbers was able to schedule the day after my initial contact. Ryan offered a quote, explained what he planned to do and installed a new heater within 3 hours. Communication between scheduling services, the service technician (Ryan) and myself was excellent. I am very happy that I used this company"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Johnstown, OH

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.
