"Steve comes highly recommended! He got back to me very quickly after I initiated a search for an electrician, and he arrived just two hours later! Steve is both friendly and professional and did a great job of installing a Nest thermostat and also showing me how my fuse box worked to get lights back on in my BR (which had gone off). He gave me an estimate before he came, and there were no additional charges or surprises. When I had a question later about the thermostat operation, he was helpful and took my call even though it was "after hours." Steve will be my go-to guy if I have another electrical issue!"

"Brandon responded to my call immediately. He set up a time to meet and his co-worker Will showed up promptly as scheduled.He installed a 4 prong 220 outlet. He is very honest because he saved me $100 by using the existing wire when i thought he would need to run new wire. Both Brandon and Will were very professional and took the time to explain what they were doing. I would recommend Phillips Electrical without hesitation."

"Jonathan was very patient, provided excellent service and did an exceptional job with our electrical upgrades and our entire home rewire (as it initially had Knob and Tube wiring). I'll be using him again and have referred him to other friends for their electrical needs."

"We hired Chris to help prepare our kitchen for an electric range, which required a new high-voltage outlet connected to the electrical panel in the basement. He was responsive, clear, and gave a transparent estimate immediately. On the day of the job, he was punctual and thorough, and completed the task before the estimated timeframe with high quality work and clear explanations. He also fit in time to move an outlet for a dishwasher, which we had not previously know we would need, and kept the final total close to the original estimate including the new project. We would certainly use Chris again for electrician needs at our home, and appreciate his expertise."

Customers say: True professional

"There aren't enough stars for CH Electric! Chris Hinchey is a consummate professional. Educated, licensed and insured Chris was punctual, reliable, kind, beyond knowledgeable and affordable. Chris will be my go to pro for any and all electrical issues. His quality customer service and abilities as an electrician set him apart from the others. We could not be happier with the work he did for us. We are so happy to have found him. You'll be doing yourself a disservice if you do not hire him. Amazing experience!"
This is during the rough construction phase of the project if you look closely you can see out wiring
This is the best look at the new 200amp Service installed at the property.  We were able to work with National Grid to insure the proper sized drop was installed free of cost, and that the point of attachment could be moved so not to interfere with the siding contractor

These are some of the exterior lights that were installed.  You can also see the weather head on the new service which was upgraded from 100amps to 200amps

Small jobs welcome

"JD Electric did Fantastic work when putting in electrical wiring and more inside my brand new porch. Jason, the owner, came on time, communicated immediately when needed, had answers for every problem that came up and handled other workers on my project professionally. Jason was timely in meeting the Winchester Electrical Inspectors requirements. I would recommend Jason to any of my neighbors and family members. I will have him back when I need more work. He is smart, and a real gentleman, and has a good way with people!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Marblehead, MA

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.
