"Dealing with Elcon Electric was truly a pleasure. First, the scheduling department had John come to our home at a time that was convenient to us. He arrived as promised and clearly ran through the estimate, permitting process and FPL's involvement. He went on to mention that it would likely be necessary to cutout a portion of the drywall that we would be responsible for replacing. Fortunately, the additional cutout was not required. Over the course of the next several weeks, the scheduling and permitting department kept us informed of the estimated installation date. Once confirmed, Roman, the electrician, arrived as scheduled, performed the installation flawlessly and left our home in perfect condition with a brand new electrical panel. Would definitely hire again and recommend to our friends and relatives."

"I am very pleased with work done. My lightings look great throughout and area where installed are well lit now. I liked that they suggested installing shower lighting combined with fan switched and it was a great idea because now I won't forget turning on fan when showering. Everytime tgey would start a new area they would suggest sonehing better ecen if it took them longer to do the job. They really exceed my expectations. I'm new to the area and really wanted professional work done in my house and I'm glad I chose them. I really recommend them and would hire them again when needed."

"Daniel Johnson, Owner of Johnson Electrical, Inc. is a one-of-a-kind, down home extremely proficient and knowledgeable Master Electrician of over 20 years. My Husband and I cannot say enough good things about him! His overall knowledge of everything electrical and A/C from A to Z plus the latest and greatest when it comes to Smart Home technologies (right here in Highlands County, mind you!) speed and efficiency plus just a overall positive disposition have to place him in the top 10 percentile! We couldnâ t be happier with all the renovations and upgrades he performed in our home! This guy knows what heâ s doing and his prices are surprisingly affordable; not to mention he probably gets twice the amount of projects completed in half the time Iâ ve seen â the other guysâ take! That makes a substantial difference monetarily when youâ re doing home reno on a budget! Our renovation project has been an ongoing project and Daniel has been sooo patient with us (me especially) as we slowly and carefully make our selections and decisions on what weâ d like to do next, and his responses and answers to our questions are almost immediate. As of yet, he has installed our new exterior lighting, the new flush mounts in our kitchen and foyer, transitioned all of our light switches and living room fan switch to smart home technology, powered by Alexa (two of which are dimmer lights) and controllable via a set timer, using our smart phones or voice command via the Echo Show, installed a portable generator receptacle in our breaker box (a necessity during hurricane season in Fl if the large, permanent propane generators powered by an underground propane tank) or are not in your budget). He even went above and beyond and came in for a last-minute weekend call to re-size our cabinetry for the installation of our new dishwasher! We are loving all our smart home updates and new lighting so far and will most definitely choose him again when weâ re ready for our new bar lighting install and dining area lighting! 5+ stars!"

"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."

"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)."

"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.
