"Warnie is such a down-to-earth guy. I had a couple of other top-rated companies come give me estimates, but I immediately knew Goodside was the right way to go. I'm an advocate for DIY, but there are some things that are always best left up to the professionals. I needed an electrician to check our panel because it didn't look safe because the prior homeowners did very poor work. I wasn't moved into the house yet, so Warnie was able to go to my house and FaceTime with me to show me exactly what needed to be done. He took the time to explain why things had to be done specific ways to bring it to code. What I really appreciated is how Warnie took my concerns and found a solution for everything. I had mentioned that we planned on finishing our basement eventually, so he recommended a panel with more than enough slots to accommodate any upgrades we make to the home and for any future homeowners to come. Warnie came to visit in-person to make sure that I understood the entire process and that he could get it started as soon as I was ready. I was informed of each milestone and was always updated. I approved the work order and the permit was approved the next day that they applied for. They coordinated with the electric company and were able to start the job the day after the permit was issued! His TEAM arrived early in the morning and was done within a couple of hours. I'm going to have a re-wire completed afterwards (meaning there will be no indoor power yet), but Warnie made such a thoughtful suggestion and wired the circuit for my alarm system to the panel so my alarm could still function. The work completed is beyond professional. The work area was cleaner than when they started. I never once felt pressured by Goodside, I truly felt like I was talking to a good friend. You'd seriously be making a mistake if you didn't use Goodside."

"Jon had been the one to come out last time when my light was making scary crackling noises. He returned again to do the light install/replacement. He was great about answering my questions. Jon was very kind about not laughing at me when I freaked out about a cache of dead stinkbugs, and he took the extra step of getting his shopvac to suck up all the bodies. The lamps are a little complicated, and Jon made sure I knew all the steps I would need to take to change a lightbulb. CW Electrical Services has been my go-to company since I moved into my house in 2011. They have wonderful customer service, short (or non-existent) wait times for appointments, and every technician I have met has been both top-notch with their knowledge and skill as well as personable and professional."

"I had a great experience with this electrical company! They replaced my electrical panel and did an excellent job from start to finish. The team was professional, knowledgeable, and very respectful of my home. They explained everything clearly, answered all of my questions, and made sure the job was done safely and correctly. The work was completed efficiently, everything was cleaned up afterward, and the new panel looks great. It’s clear they take pride in their work and genuinely care about their customers. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing electrical work and will definitely use them again in the future!"

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