"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."

"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 needed to replace my fuse box with a circuit breaker panel. Allin was great at listening to me and addressing my concerns for the project. He also explained the process and offered me a few options. I appreciate he and his staff's hard work on replacing the panel - especially on a day when we had a heat wave. (We couldn't turn on the AC since the power had to be off while they worked on the panel.) I also appreciate that they cleaned up after they were done so there were no messes left behind."

"Start to finish the A To Z Electrical Company is the best electrical team we have hired. Millie is such a pleasure to work with. She is efficient, courteous, and friendly. She helps to make things work seamlessly. Bob Iovino understood exactly what needed to be done and did everything in a professional manner. He squeezed me in although he had a very busy schedule. He is courteous, friendly, and in no time he had the job done and it was done right. It truly was a pleasure doing business with him and the company. We recommend them highly."

"We recently hired Lighthouse restoration Group for a massive, multi-phase electrical overhaul of our 1920s home, updating a service panel upgrade to 200 Amps, and prepping the infrastructure for a future solar and EV charger integration. From the initial diagnostic visit, Vlad and his team stood out. They didn't just give a vague estimate; they provided a highly detailed, itemized line-item quote breaking down permitting fees, material costs, and labor.The project presented several unforeseen challenges, including retrofitting wires through double-brick firewall boundaries without destroying our original plaster molding. The team clearly explained the technical code compliance reasons for the adjustments.They coordinated flawlessly with both the city inspectors and our local utility company to manage the power disconnect and reconnect. They left the area clean of debris. I strongly recommend Lighthouse Restoration Group!!"

"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 Lincoln-Park, 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.
