"They have several subcontractors, but the one that was sent for my quote was Josh, and he was awesome! He came out the day after my request, was friendly and informative, and really listened to what I wanted. Worked with me on getting the most important items in my budget first, and his quote very reasonable. Knew that I had an insulation project waiting on his electrical work and did his best to fit me in so it could be completed on time for the insulation contractor. I highly recommend him. He is definitely worth a bonus six star!"

"Found McCormick Electrical highly rated on both HomeAdvisor and Angie's list so contacted them. I needed a major upgrade on wiring/main service to house/ and electric panel for a neglected 1908 rental house I purchased right next to my own home. My initial contact with the McCormick office was friendly, professional, and very informative. I got an appointment in just 2 days at my time of preference. Then I received multiple notifications prior to the service call confirming the date/time and name of technician, Brian, coming to my home, and an email/text with a photo ID of Brian. When he arrived I showed Brian the electrical inspection report/issues from the house purchase, he reviewed that, did his own full inspection, and then laid out multiple service options for me ranging from the most to least expensive. A "no-dicker" final price was clearly listed for each, no matter what other issues, difficulties, time, etc. he might run into for the proposed work. This allowed me to decide whether to have the whole project done at once, or in a series of logical steps based on my urgency and budget. This was not an easy decision, and Brian was very patient as I went back-and-forth with my thoughts and questions. He showed me inside and outside the danger spots, actual rust, water damage, frayed cables, etc. that were at issue. I elected to get the majority of the necessary main work done (install an entirely new exterior 'main service' cable/tower apparatus at the meter to the house, and a new contractor-grade elec. panel.) This was expensive, but I knew from prior experience and other contractors was within reasonable price range so I felt no need to get additional quotes from other companies. Then Brian offered to do all the work right THEN, same day, no delays, no additional calls. He had all the parts he needed in his truck for this major job. This was amazing to me, given the scope of the project. Then Brian worked nonstop until 9pm (with a short lunch break) doing all the work inside and out. In the process, his testing equipment indicated a suspicious unknown current imbalance in the main electrical (neutral) line between our house and the utility pole. He explained to me this could indicate a serious/dangerous problem in the line (e.g. could be shorting out, exposed wires, or poor connection) and we called the Indiana Michigan Power utility outage number at 6pm. (It's their issue, at that location in the line.) IMP came out within several hours and repaired the problem at the utility pole at no cost to me. Point is, I would have had no idea about that exterior utility-line issue, even if I had been capable of doing all the interior electrical work myself. The current imbalance had not been discovered by the professional house inspector I'd paid for, either. Communication with Brian was excellent throughout, he answered my many curious questions, advised me on my own future remodeling/wiring plans for the house"

"I would highly recommend Four Seasons! I recently scheduled duct and furnace cleaning. The technician quickly identified an issue that necessitated purchasing a new furnace. I opted to also upgrade my AC at a bundle rate since it was over 25 years old. The duct cleaner and professional installers were extremely knowledgeable, friendly and worked efficiently to both clean my ducts and install my new furnace and AC expeditiously. I immediately realized a huge difference in my heat and air quality which I am sure will result in savings on my electric bill. I have even scheduled some electrical work through Four Seasons and plan to use them going forward for all my Heating, Cooling, Plumbing and Electric needs."

"He showed up in a timely manner. He did the job quickly. There was a shorted wire that he had to re-run and pull through the existing pipe. So far it's all working great and has not needed to return. So far everything working great."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in La Porte, IN

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.
