"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 from Imperial Electric did an excellent job for us. We had a relatively small issue that he rectified for us very quickly and then did a very thorough inspection of our entire house at our request. He made a number of recommendations to upgrade our old electrical system that were practical, reasonable and in line with current codes."

"Amp Electric & Power were great!! We had a bunch of things that needed to be done including moving the riser for the incoming power line, replacing the old 100amp electric panel with a 200amp panel (line to the house was already 200amp-capable), installing new power outlets and a fan box on our deck, and pulling new wire in rooms to support a dual switch for separate light/fan functionality from the switch. They were very efficient, friendly, listened, provided suggestions, and got the job done right. I will absolutely be using Amp Electric & Power again when I need it!!!"

"Outdoor electrical outlet kept tripping the GFCI frequently but with no apparent pattern. Couldn't tell if it was the items plugged into the GFCI, the GFCI itself, another GFCI on the same line, or something else. The technician was very methodical in his approach and was able to identify the problem as a bad underground line between two of the GFCIs. Not an easy one to solve. The wires were inside metal conduit but somehow water had gotten inside the conduit. Once the cause was determined, he knew exactly what needed to be done. The technician was professional, easy to talk to and did an excellent job. Pricing was very reasonable. I am very pleased with the work and would call them again for future electrical needs."

"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."

"Bart laid some outdoor electrical wiring for our new electric driveway gate. This involved cutting through our driveway concrete, laying new wiring starting from one of our outdoor outlets, and redoing the concrete again overtop. Bart communicated with our fencing company to ensure that the specifications were correct for his work, and the fencing workers had no issues with his completed work. Bart brought a concrete guy to help him and the work was completed in a day. I would definitely work with BA Electric again for future projects."

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