"Ted and Robert arrived, got right t to it and within a few hours we had 2 ceiling fans installed, one which had no existing light so it was a more involved project. They were professional and stuck to their original quote! To say we are impressed is an understatement. We strongly recommend using Connole Electric."

"The job was to replace an old electric service panel. Matt answered any questions that I had. The work was done quickly and neatly. Communication was good. Should the need arise, I would hire him again. One picture of old panel, one picture of semi finished new panel, one picture of new breakers."

"On August 4, 2020 our property was hit by tropical Storm, Isaias, knocking down trees and power lines. A large nut tree fell across the power lines from the telephone pole on our property to the house pulling the lines down to the ground. When our power line was pulled down to the ground, it bent the electric service mast on our roof to an almost 90 degree angle. We called Home Advisor who immediately connected us to Ted Connole of Connoleâ s Electric. Ted responded by saying that he would come out that afternoon and assess the damage. When Ted and his crew arrived, he told us that Eversource needed to disconnect the wires from the house and said that the tree had to be removed from the power lines. Since we were unable to contact Eversource due to massive outages in the state, we called Ted back and explained our predicament. Ted also attempted to contact them. Ted returned to our home with his crew and removed the wires from the house as well as removing and replacing the damaged electrical service mast from the roof, thereby; making it ready for Eversource to reconnect the power lines. From the very beginning, Ted treated us more like family than a customer in need. Ted and his crew were knowledgeable, efficient, and honest. Throughout this ordeal, Ted kept in constant contact inquiring about our safety and well-being. He also followed up with Eversourceâ s progress. He went above and beyond the norm. It is with this in mind, that I can whole-heartedly recommend Connoleâ s Electric Co."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Norfolk, CT

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.
