"Tom is excellent. I had him install three ceiling fans in my vacation home two years ago and the work was perfect. He pays attention to detail and the house is spotless when he leaves. This time I upgraded the electrical work in this home. Tom added outlets, repaired ballasts, replaced outdoor outlet covers and added GFI outlets as needed. I also requested outlets into the living room floor and this was done perfectly. Tom noted what electrical work was necessary and completed everything. As usual, the house was spotless."

"He made room in my electrical panel by installing double circuit-breakers to accommodate my home. Based on the work and how they presented themselves, I would recommend them. Very clean and professional, and I would hire them again in a heartbeat. Their price was reasonable, the work was great, and it was an overall pleasant experience."

"Mike and his team are awesome! They upgraded my electric service to 200 amps, installed a new light fixture in my dining room, installed high hats in my kitchen, and replaced a number of other fixtures and outlets around my home. The work was completed in a single day and everything looks great! I've recommended Shamrock to my parents, and will definitely use them for future electrical work."

"This was a multi project visit: upgrading and running a stove line, upgrading my service to 200amp and replacing the outdoor sub panel for the pool filter. Cole was great! Responsive, visited and provided a detailed estimate of each job and showed up quickly to resolve. Would highly recommend"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Lake Grove, 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.
