"John was very accommodating and understood exactly what we needed. He was prompt, courteous, and kept me informed throughout the process, as the work was done for my mother while I wasn't there. My mom was very pleased with her ceiling fan light fixture installation and the price was very reasonable. I would definitely call him again for any other job I need done. Thanks again John!"

"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."

"Mike from No shorts electric was very prompt. He carefully inspected the entire electric panel and said that the source of the odor was something other than electrical. He was very methodical and courteous. He did not charge anything, even for a service call or for his time/travel. That was so pleasantly surprising. WIll gladly use him again and highly recommend him to others."

"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."

"I initially hired Fielack to upgrade our electrical panel and troubleshoot some issues we were having around our home. That was in Jan of this year. They did such a great job that we have had them back to do various other jobs since then. I have no hesitation in calling them again to do any and all electrical work that we need done in the future. They were very courteous, they came on time, and they explained everything they were doing. They are real deal professionals."

"We are closing out an open permit on a home that is for sale. We needed a GFCI outlet as well as a ceiling light fixture for a bathroom. 24-Hour Electric reached out to us, gave us a price over the phone and came to the residence the same day. When Arslan arrived, we found there was no power running into the GFCI. He quickly addressed and corrected. the problem. Prices were reasonable would definitely recommend."

"Brian did a great job installing my new wired doorbell. He was prompt, neat, and very professional. He presented me with a well-prepared written estimate (and by the way, I thought $750 to install a doorbell which I picked up from Lowes for only $30 was pretty steep, but I really wanted to get the job done ASAP). After the job was done he provided me with a professional digital receipt and then gave me some feedback on potential future electrical work at my house. His partner is also very nice (a little scruffy and rough around the edges, but a nice guy!). I am happy with my new doorbell. Thanks, Brian!!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Old Westbury, 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.
