"GREAT! Joe was easy to work with, very skilled and knowledgeable, and very reasonable. The work he did was top notch (fast, he cleaned up, wore a mask, etc) and he even spotted some extra work that needed to be done for safety reasons (fixing a wire outside the house). We've hired him before and absolutely will again for anything electrical."

"Recently, I had a three unit heating and hot water upgrade. During the install, it was determined that the electrical wiring was out of code and some of the wiring had been done incorrectly. Carmen and his team came to the rescue. Carmen knew exactly what needed to be done and went to work immediately to fix the issues. He and his team were polite, knowledgeable and professional. He explained what needed to be done and answered all my questions. Who could ask for anything more? I feel good and safe about the work that was done. The honesty and earnestness that was shown and given has earned my trust. I will call on Carmen and his company for any future electrical services. Thanks guys!"

"I called Integrity Electrical after several outlets in the house failed, including the one for the refrigerator. Joe responded immediately, figured out the problem, and did a great job of explaining the work that needed to be done. Joe and Alex upgraded the house to 200 amp service, which involved replacing the electrical panel, upgrading outlets, and replacing a meter box that had water damage. I would not hesitate to call them again."

"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."

"Sedar was extremely professional, he made great suggestions on where to best install the EV charger for minimum wiring. Did a very clean job in a very short time. He also replaced a regular outlet and adjusted floodlights at no charge. Will definitely hire him for future electric work and highly recommend him,"

"I met ElectriChris, Inc (Chris David) through an online referral service in March, 2018. From 2018 through 2024, Chris has done nine separate electrical projects for me. I am definitely a satisfied customer. Chris does neat, professional work. He knows the code and his work meets the code. All of the projects that Chris has done for me were done while we occupied the house. He cleans the work site at the end of each day, and the disruption to our house was kept to a minimum."

"John and crew upgraded the house to 200amps, bringing everything to code and cleaning up prior panel on top of installing new panel. Hookup of EV charger in garage was exactly to my request. They showed their experience with EV by suggesting and helping us attain rebates to help with costs. We are very satisfied with our EV charger installation."

"Michael replaced all the dimmers throughout my home and workspace… and he replaced a kitchen fan with lights for me… and fixed an antique lamp that had great sentimental value for me. He was on time and priced each job fairly. I am grateful for his work every time I dim a light and run the fan to cool my home during the warm er months of the year. I am planning on having Michael replace my outdoor walkway lights this spring."

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