"Before listing my home for sale, I hired Cusatis to replace several outlets and upgrade my fuse box in preparation to sell my home. I couldn’t be more impressed with the work. Dave was professional, on time, and clearly knowledgeable about what needed to be done to bring everything up to code. The whole process was smooth from start to finish. He explained everything in a way I could understand, worked efficiently, and left the work areas clean and tidy. I felt confident that the electrical system in my home was safe and ready for inspection. Highly recommend Cusatis Electric to anyone needing reliable, high-quality electrical work!"

"Mike and Trevor, of Freedom Electrical, upgraded my home electrical service from 100 Amp to 200 Amp service. Mike provided a cost proposal based on a site visit. He was professional, competent, and learned what my needs were. When I accepted the proposal and initiated work, Freedom Electrical provided me updates on when they would be to my home and that was based on when the electric company would be available to shut down the house electricity. They arrived in the early morning on the scheduled date and worked until the project was completed, about 8 hours. I visited each of them every couple of hours to see the progress, and ask questions. They both were happy to answer my questions. Everything went without a hitch and the new panel had wires run to circuit breakers that looked so organized it reminded me of the lines on a computer chip circuit board! They were able to run a bran new 240 volt 40 Amp circuit with 6 gauge wire from the new panel through my basement wall to the outside of my house and terminate the circuit at an 'emergency shutoff' box. The incoming service line and the new circuit had putty packed around the cables where they entered the house (to prevent insects / rodents from entering through the holes). Before the left the site, I was informed that an inspector would be coming by. Once the inspector arrived and noticed the 'Freedom Electrical' sticker on my new panel, he said something like 'oh yah, these guys make my job real easy - they do the best work I have ever seen'. I highly recommend Freedom Electrical for anything requiring a professional electrician."

"Excellent. Electrical work in a 120 year old house in not easy at best, its a real challenge that includes working in the old attic and basement. The fans are beautiful and both working as promised. They cleaned up after the job and worked steady the whole time they were here. Could not be more pleased and will use them again whenever I need electrical work done. Thanks!"

"We really like working with Ian. He was able to work with us on what we needed. Just wanted to replace a 50-year old electric panel that was not safe for our new house and bump up to a 200-amp service. Not we needed 200-amps, but it is nice for any expansion or future projects we may have. HIs team was quick and took care of everything. Even contacted the township for permitting. And the township even came by a week later to upgrade the service line to the house to accommodate the 200-amp service. Feel like we are in a much safer house now! Appreciate IEC and will call them for any additional or service needs! (old panel on left - new on right!)"

"We had an outstanding experience working with the team at Grounded Electric Co. From the very start, Dalton and Trevor were professional and thorough, providing us with a detailed estimate for the sale and installation of a Generac home generator. The level of attention to detail was evident, as they even had a team member present during the factory delivery of the generator on Friday. Then, when it was time for installation on Monday, the entire crew (Trevor, Dylan, TJ and Dalton) showed up on schedule and executed the installation flawlessly. Every step of the process was seamless, and it’s clear that customer satisfaction is their top priority."

"Justin has an EPIC heart! Great guy!! And his attention to detail is perfect!!! Iâ m an auto technician and my forte is electrical. I came inside and saw my new panel and how all the wires where laid out and ran in new panel and I immediately knew Justin is gonna be the ONLY guy to do electrical work in my home!!!! I seriously canâ t say enough about him!! Lastly I will say that I reached out to him to get a second bid because the company Mr. Sparky tried to sell me a new panel install for 8,600$ and said I could pay 80$ a month. I was disgusted with mr. Sparksâ s price. Justin quoted me a quarter of that price!!! and added a surge protector!! Justin is out to help us and cares about his work and helping us hard working people. Alright I think I Raved enough about Justinâ ¦. Lol. Just make sure you use him for your electrical home needsð ªð"

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