"They were prompt & professional and scheduled me in for a 2 day job at my convenience. Quality of work is excellent. They were able to install a ceiling fan and recessed lighting in a room with no basement or attic with no additional drywall holes needed to run the wires."

"We recently purchased a house and needed to change main electric panel.from expired old type pushmatic to a modern 200amp electric panel. Decided to get a quote for that but ended up having few quoted in which most of them were overpriced (according to 2026 data) and also seemed it was their first day at work based of the knowledge they had. However Eason Electric got our attention. We decided to hire Shawn, not just because of a good price but his knowledge and no hesistation to do the job right. Every question we had he had the right answer for. As soon as he got here to do his job he got into it right away, and also provided power generator in case you dont have any and need to run fridge or something else while hpuse is out of power. His job was done within less than a day and he left area neat clean and with a new installed electric panel. If it was an option for 10 stars we would give him q0 stars for all he had done."

"Travis did an excellent job. Replaced 2 breakers in the panel box and ran another line to the attic for my new heat pump. Pleasantlly surprised with the estimate and had the work done right on the spot. Got extra business cards from Travis to give to my friends."

"I generally really dislike leaving feedback. I find myself honest to a fault because I believe it's a responsibility to leave honest, accurate feedback for potential other customers. Then I go through this process of "am I being too nit-picky", "am I being overly sensitive", etc, and finally I don't leave the review because if it isn't good, will it hurt the business, or just as bad, reviews that say "they were great" isn't helpful at all....and so I buckle under the pressure of my own assessment. I say all that here to tell you I have ZERO issues writing this review right now. I reached out to Mr. Electric because a project that was supposed to start in August was bumped up on the schedule, and as always, I procrastinated getting someone to come out and move an electrical box and some conduit. I reached out to Mr. Electric on a Thursday, and the following Monday was promised someone (Travis M from Mr Electric) would come out and give us a quote on the work. Travis showed up right on time, and only was he super-flexible with whatever work I asked for (added in 2 outside electrical boxes besides the electrical box reconfiguration and move), they gave me a more than reasonable quote for the work and told me they could get the work done right then and there. My wife and I agreed, and the final result was phenomenal. Travis M and also Andrew from Mr. E jumped right in, and did a superb, professional job in a matter of a couple of hours. I would be remiss if I didn't say that not only was their work professional, their attitude and conduct was professional beyond reproach. To be fully honest, they looked and acted the part of professional electricians from a professional company. These 2 gentlemen represented Mr. Electric in a fully excellent way, and they will be my go-to for future projects. Perfect 10 out of a possible 5 stars!"

"Mike was professional, courteous, knowledgeable throughout the entire process. He was especially patient as he described how I had incorrectly attempted to wire these two switches. He completed the job very quickly. I give him my highest recommendation and will hire him for another electrical project shortly."

"Did expert job running 6-gauge wire from breaker box to garage and installing 240-volt outlet there, which will be used for charging electric car. He explained why parts were so expensive, the wire in this case, and I was easily able to verify that online…wire prices are crazy, just like all other building supplies post-pandemic. While doing the wire run, he was even able to simplify the work from what he had initially expected while creating an estimate. And he cleaned up after his work!"

"Excellent. Electrical work in a 120 year old house in not easy at best, its a real challenge that includes working in the old attic and basement. The fans are beautiful and both working as promised. They cleaned up after the job and worked steady the whole time they were here. Could not be more pleased and will use them again whenever I need electrical work done. Thanks!"

"A slightly complicated installation of two 3 way switches controlling an outlet was accomplished easily in a few hours between the attached garage and the basement. Cleanup was perfect. The price for this job was very reasonable. I highly recommend Summers Mobile Tech and when I need him I will call again."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Lancaster, PA

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.
