"Daniel addressed a not so straightforward switch replacement that I had botched. Not only did have to install it right but also had to diagnose and replace the circuit breaker in the panel. He also had to further diagnose a wire that had been melted and address that as well. He showed great problem solving skills, cleaned up and was extremely professional and friendly. Even though the job took much longer than expected, he still only charged what he had initially stated. Would hire again."

"I just had solar panels installed at our home … a few months ago, Aaron (Legacy) came out and helped us understand how solar could significantly help us with high electric bills (even wipe them out). He is honest and has our best interests in mind for our home and electric needs. Our system is poised to eliminate our electricity bills 😊. Legacy Solar (Towanda IL) are awesome to work with and very friendly no matter who you talk to … they follow up with me and engineered /installed/support a reliable system for our home. Thank you Aaron and all the Staff at Legacy 👍👊!!! I have recommended Legacy to friends and family … RJW"

"Bob did an excellent job fixing my damaged vinyl sidings at reasonable price. He was responsive to my request and flexible with the scheduling. He searched and visited 4 stores to find the vinyls to ensure the matching shade. I am very happy for his work.

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Lexington, 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.
