"Jack and his crew did a great job with the work we needed done which ended up being more complicated than we had anticipated. He charged by the job rather than the hour, which worked out well for us since his crew had to pull half the wires out of the electrical box to figure out what previous electricians had done in our condo. Jack and his crew were honest and efficient and I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again."

"The company representative scheduled a visit to discuss our project and provided a free estimate. During his visit he was very professional and explained the various options available. After 2 days the electricians arrived and completed our project within 2 hours. The electricians were very professional and explained, in detail, each step needed to complete the job. Before leaving, the electricians made sure the work area was cleared of any debris. I will definitely use AtoZ Electrical Svc for any future projects."

"Main Service breaker kept tripping on my parents rental building. True Power called me, coordinated with True Power thru the day via text messaging as I was at work, TP arrived, and fixed the problem by tightening loose bolts.etc leading to the main panel breaker. A previous contractor stated the main power service needed to be increased in the building and that it would cost $10k-$15k to do all this work. True Power resolved the issue in 20 mins and have not had the main breaker trip since. Thanks for the friendly, professional, efficient and competent service."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Lakeview, IL

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.
