"It went really well. Shawn arrived right on time and solved several electric problems quickly and efficiently. He explained that our electric panel is outdated and may need replacing if we sell the house. He was able to reset one of my breakers which was tripped, and I had not been able to reset it myself. That solved a wall of outlets and an outdoor light now works!"

"What started out as a request to fix my own mistakes upgrading outlets turned into a much needed remediation of a long delayed problem area. Our original 1975 electrical panal (see before pic) was having a meltdown which the pros at Swift Electrical Repair were able to quickly identify, make the necessary request for permitting, did a total replacement, including the old corroding grounding setup, mapping of all of the outlets in the house and scheduling an inspection of the work by the city. All we did was help answer some of the team's questions for where we needed help. Exceeding my expectations at each stage of the project, we are looking forward to partnering more with the team at Swift to help modernize our downtown Cape Coral home to bring it up to modern code standards. This is the new standard electrical work in SWFL. Great job. (Before and After pictures shown)."

"The first thing that comes to mind when I think about Mr. Sparky is intelligence. My house is old and the wiring is set up eccentrically. Fixing some of the wiring was like trying to solve a rubik’s cube with your arms in the air for an hour. Mike O’Neil of Mr. Sparky was polite and explained the necessity of replacing the electric panel and grounding. Justine and Joshua of Mr. Sparky were unbelievably hard working and pleasant. All good."

"Fantastic the technician was courteous and explained what needed to be done to get the power back on for my garage bathroom and outdoor plugs Several solutions were offered and it made a lot of sense to rework the plugs so the bathroom plugs wouldn’t be affected by the garage or outside plugs They installed some new gifs and now and don’t have to worry about if my bathroom plugs will work if it rained recently I will definitely call them again uf I have another electrical problem"

"It a long story but to make it a little shorter they came out 4 times for a problem that was not their fault. Xavier our teck from Mr. Sparkey wanted our job to be perfect. He went as far as anyone could expect and fixed the problem. I am sure they did not make money on our job. I hope this review will let everyone know that we are really happy to have found them and we would recommend Mr. Sparkey for all your electrical needs."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Lake Placid, FL

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.
