"Very happy with Joseph and his assistant's electrical work. I used the 2hr deal (or 1 hr for two guys). After scheduling through texting, Joseph showed up on time and took a quick look at the scope of the work and whether it could be done in an hour. He said, "we can make it happen" and off they went. They worked quickly and efficiently and it was definitely a two person job as they had to thread wire around some wall studs. They finished in about an hour, cleaned-up, gave me a bit of advice, and drove off. Very professional. Everything went as smoothly as I could have hoped. I highly recommend Nasr Electric."

"Excellent. William G Hyman himself called in the morning and once he had diagnosed the likely cause over the phone, shifted schedules to get two of his electricians to the house that afternoon. They diagnosed the situation and upgraded the kitchen electrical outlets efficiently and at a reasonable price point. Highly recommend!"

"I hired Vital Electric to assess and fix multiple electrical issues in my new home. Lidwing quickly resolved a reversed polarity outlet, corrected a double-fed garage circuit, and addressed a panel safety concern—all within a two-hour window. Professional, efficient, and knowledgeable. Highly recommend."

"It was very easy to work with Joe to finalize a quote and get the job scheduled. Once onsite, Carlos and his colleague knew exactly what to do and how to run the new electric circuit across the house from the electrical panel to the garage. The installed the EV charger we had purchased separately exactly how we wanted it. Everything worked perfectly. They even went the extra mile to come back and patch the garage drywall where they had made a few holes to run the cable even though it was not included in the job initially. Overall very happy with both the price we paid and the quality of the work. Will hire again for any electrical work we'll need."

"Saul and Three Brothers services did a fantastic job upgrading our electrical panel. Saul explained everything throughout, agreed to do the work on a Saturday to accommodate our schedule, and was just generally very customer service oriented. We couldnâ t have asked for anything more. Highly recommend for electrical needs."

"On June 10, I had a company to install security equipment in my home. In doing so, the installer drilled through a wire and I did not have electricity in several outlets due to the damage. Since the company did not have an electrician on staff and was unable to refer me to anyone, I turned to Angie’s List for help in finding someone to correct the problem. I called Hands on Electric on June 11 and spoke to the owner, Kevin Williams. I explained my problem to Mr. Williams and he gave me a window of time in which he would be able to come out. Not only was he able to come out the same day that I called, but Mr. Williams was able to come much earlier than expected. Once he arrived he was able to trouble shoot and diagnose the problem. Mr. Williams was very, very friendly, professional and honest. He was able to answer my husband’s questions and explained what he was doing as he made the repairs. My husband was very happy about that and we were both impressed by the years of experience Mr. Williams had for his age. I have been looking for an electrician for a while now and have decided that I will be using Hands on Electric for all of my future projects. I was very pleased with the work that was done by Mr. Williams and will recommend him to my friends and family when they need of electrical services."

"I had a wonderful experience with Electrical Connections. My project ended up being much larger than I anticipated it would be and they were excellent at explaining everything and helping me understand what needed to be done. Customer service was top notch and clearly a priority for everyone I talked to from the scheduler to the owner of the company. Brian was excellent and stayed until the job was done even though it made an extra long day for him. Highly recommended!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Kensington, MD

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.
