"Freedom Electric is a great company to work with! Everyone was helpful and made things go more smoothly than I thought they would. I needed the work done within a certain timeframe, and they were able to coordinate with the electric company to make sure it got done on time. The electrician was very helpful explaining everything that needed to be done and why it was needed. He even went above and beyond what was specified to make the outside wires more secure. That's the sign of an excellent company!"

"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!"

"From the start of the project of the response, time of less than 15 minutes of receiving a phone call, The tech, Steve Unger, was here within a few hours and was able to get my AC unit temporarily running to get me through the week until we could schedule a replacement. Steve was amazing.! then I was greeted with a visit with Manny who sold me on the value of HL Bowman partnering unit with Home Depot made by Honeywell. It was much more cost-effective and seems to be doing a tremendous job at cooling my very tough A-frame situation at my condo. Chris and Jake were the install personnel that worked very efficiently and had the unit up and running within five hours. They also were very personable and took tremendous care of my needs. Lastly, I had a follow up the day after it was installed with Jesse who did a fabulous job inspecting and making sure the unit was running efficiently and properly as well as his knowledge of showing me proper thermostat settings. Thank you HL Bowman!!"

"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 was amazing. He explained everything in great details. Provided various options and recommendations. He rearranged his schedule to accommodate us due to danger potential in our electrical panel. He cares about his clients and it shows in his work. He was priced very reasonable & he saved us thousands of dollars. Another project is in the works & we are already planning additional projects to hire him for. We can't say enough positive feedback about him & the excellent service we received. Highly recommend! Thanks Justin. We can sleep much better now knowing we are safe from a major fire hazard. Looking forward to working with you again."

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.
