"Came to my house the same day and completed the job. Mike the electrician was a nice guy and did a good job. $200 the first hour and $100 each additional hour. Changed existing ceiling fan, switches and outlets. I already had the parts, took 3+ hours, cost almost $500 with tax. Not sure if this is standard. I called them after another electrician who was supposed to come that day canceled."

"No Shorts Electric Inc. did such an amazing job. They were quick and efficient. The crew which comprised of Luis, Stanley, Brendan and owner Dominick showed up on time, worked hard, cleaned up and completed the upgrade of the electrical panel, installation of dedicated lines to our gazebo and installation of multiple light fixtures quickly and as scheduled. We contacted Dominick and he walked us through the whole process and kept us in the loop every step of the way. When he came to the house for the estimate, he noticed the ground for the hose was disconnected and fixed it on the spot. WOW!!! During the morning of the project, the team were attentive and courteous. When they entered the house, they put on disposable shoe coverings. That was remarkable. It showed us that they respected the home as it was their own. It is the simple and small touches that makes one person & company rise above the rest. We were very impressed. We appreciate the job that was done at our house. They were professional and reliable. No Shorts Electric, Inc. was reasonable for the quality of work. Dominick was an good communicator and he gave excellent design advice. Luis, Stanley and Brendan are very kind and have amazing work ethics. Call them!!! Their knowledge of the trade is excellent. We could not have been happier with the results. Dominick's dad, who started the business and the owner, came by during the project to inspect and advise. It is a family owned business that are the cornerstones of our economy and our community. No Shorts Electric, Inc. shows the importance of a good value system, a vision for the future and the involvement of a good family work ethic. I wish No Shorts Electric Inc. a good future and will definitely recommend them to anyone."

"Matt did two jobs for me, an outdoor lighting job and an inside job where I needed an extra switch installed on a bathroom fixture. Both times he arrived when he said he would and went right to work. Both jobs took less time than I thought they would and best of all Matt's prices are very reasonable. I am so glad I have found Matt Greco Electrical. He is reliable and reasonable and you can rest assured Matt will take care of any electrical issue you have."

"He is a very meticulous electrician and did a beautiful installation od a neon art work by a contemporary artist. It was a difficult job which accomplished very well. I am hiring him again for work on my panel that has water damage. I strongly recommend him. Also answers the phone always and has reasonable prices."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Merrick, NY

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.
