"Brian and his crew where great to work with. He explained what they would do to correct the problems I had with my electric and the work was done in a timely manner. They even ran into a glitch installing a light switch in my basement but they went above and beyond to make it work. He also found some wiring problems and corrected those. They also clean up after the work is done. They were pleasant and even fun to deal with. I found their pricing to be very reasonable. I will definitely use them again."

"Fantastic experience with this company. Travis was punctual and very understanding of the situation and provided a prompt timeline that addressed all issues quickly. On work day, Nick and Lucas came and were incredibly knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make sure everything was done as needed and tackled the problem separately for two different panel installs. The scope of the issue became larger than expected on the onset with my electrical meter and panels needing to be upgraded, but they handled everything perfectly. I would definitely recommend this company and will definitely use them again in the future if possible."

"The entire experience was great from start to finish. The price was reasonable and within what I would expect to pay for the scope of the work. In order to upgrade my service the power company had to be called to disconnect power then CW electric did their work, then the work had to be inspected by a 3rd party, and finally, the power company had to come back and reconnect the power. CW electric coordinated all of this. Michael came out promptly at 8 AM on the install date, had the power company there 10 mins later to shut off power, and promptly went to work. They estimated power would be off for 6 hours. Michael had it back on in 5, got the work inspected, and was out the door at the 6 hour mark. He was professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and even offered advice when I asked about some future renovations I am planning on. I also love the new Leviton electrical service panel which is a nice bright white instead of the usually boring grey. IT has large easy to identify and switch breakers. They are green when on and red when tripped. Also, when I had a question after the install; CW electric returned to fix an issue that turned out not to be a problem after all. I recommend this company and would definitely hire them again and probably will in the future."

"Cody showed up on time and installed 3 GFI outlets and came up with a better solution for a light switch somebody previously installed near the shower. He installed a GFI circuit breaker in the panel which included that light switch. The next morning on a Saturday, the outlet for the washer/dryer in basement was not working. I emailed Cody. He called me back that day and scheduled for the following Monday at the end of the day to check it out. He traced out the wiring to the panel and the wiring was loose for that outlet. He tightened the wiring and that was it. What really impressed me was that he said "No Charge" because he was the last one who opened that panel when he installed the circuit breaker which may have caused that loose outlet wiring. Honest, dependable, efficient and reasonable. Highly recommended."

"Very personable, listened to what I was able to relay about my project, gave me realistic options and recommended one solution and stated the reasons why - worked to replace my panel until it was complete and added a generator connection that I had been wanting. Top notch work and service - will hire again for future projects!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Mars, PA

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.
