"Electrical in an older home can be complicated. We had several people give outrageous estimates or never show up to do the work. Stapleford electric was prompt in providing an estimate and completed the work with quality. The cost for installing a new outlet and bracing for a large, heavy chandelier was fixed cost and other work was a time and materials rate. Both were reasonable and they knew what they were doing with the old style wiring. We had an additional expense to get plaster repaired separately but that would have been the case no matter who did the electrical work - they referred us to a master plasterer which was great. I have no reservations to recommend or use Stapleford again."

"I hired Brett and had never used him before. I based my decision on his prior feedback on Angi. My oldest daughter purchased a 100 year townhouse in Wilmington. The home inspector found numerous issues with the electrical including a recalled circuit breaker panel and numerous miswired outlets and switches. It was a large task. Brett gave me a reasonable offer and I hired him. When you first meet him, you know you are in good hands. He is very nice and well spoken. His work was impeccable. He showed up on time, both days and cleaned up after all work. The work was of very high quality and he went the extra mile doing several things that he did not need to do. In this basement, there was excessive unused wiring in the ceiling which he removed. If you need electrical work, he is your man. and his feedback shows it!"

"Scott and his crew were punctual, efficient, and did excellent work. We had our main panel upgraded from 100 to 200 amps. They also installed a Level 2 Charger for our EVs. Communication with Scott was easy and he kept me in the loop for the entire project. I recommended Scott to several of my neighbors and they hired him for their projects as well. A great company and a great guy to work with. Thanks, Scott."

"Had two EV charging stations installed at my home in Middletown and I’m very happy with the work. Everything came out super clean and professional. He explained the entire process clearly and walked me through everything step by step. I got a few prices before hiring him and he was also the most affordable. Great work, great communication and fair pricing. I would definitely recommend Elite Electric Solutions. Definitely getting him back in for some recessed lighting and routing some wires for my audio and camera system. Jorge is definitely my electric from now on!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Middletown, DE

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.
