"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."

"Amer was fantastic! We hired him for some minor electrical work for our new home and he was on time, professional and very informative. He charged us what we believe to be a reasonable rate to do some re-wiring, grounding and updating of some outlets. He informed us every step of the way what he was doing and gave us some new home owner tips. Should we need electrical services in the future he is the only person we would consider. Look no further and hire Amer!"

"Cris Electric was very responsive and communicates well what he needs to do for a project. He upgraded the electrical panel in my home, it was completed in one day and his prices are reasonable. I would hire Cris again for another project in the future."

"My thermostat panel burned out. I was under warranty, fortunately. The panel was no longer being made so they replaced it with an upgraded thermostat panel at no cost. All I paid for was Labor. I have been using FourSeasons for many years and although they are a bit pricey, they are very professional and always get the job done. They also replaced the Circuit board on my furnace at no cost."

"Joe arrived on time to examine the problem and immediately knew what had happened. He explained his theory (that the line had been cut) very clearly and demonstrated why he thought so. His expertise based in experience in dealing with similar problems were absolutely perfect for the job I needed done. He scheduled the work promptly and showed on time with 2 colleagues since a fair amount of digging was required. They dug up the old line and replaced it with a new line—upgraded by running it through rigid tubing so it couldn’t get cut ever again. I even got another unexpected and welcome upgrade since Joe provided a GFCI outlet on my patio. The team was very thorough and Joe was an excellent project manager. He is my new go-to for all things electric. I am very happy."

"Although at this point the work hasn't started, this project had a lot of obstacles. The owner made multiple visits and we spoke several times to help figure out a way to reach goals without charge. He was very generous with his time and helped to figure the most cost effective way to get started and progress. He listens and goes beyond the call of duty. I have no doubts that he is true to his word and integrity. I am happy to have found such an exceptional and attentive electrical contractor. He's my guy from now on."

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