"Called Justin the owner at about 10 or 10:30 on Friday Jan 13 and his brother installed a replacement electric baseboard heating unit by 10:30 on Saturday January 14 for only a nominal extra charge for Saturday. Devon his brother could not have been nicer and more professional and insured that the rest of the wiring for the entire house was fine including the extensive wiring for baseboard heat throughout the house. I intend to have them come replace te rest of the units that need replacing"

"I had a microwave high voltage transformer fail and parts were not longer available. The microwave was on a range hood fan circuit which also powered a lighting circuit. Instead of the 250 watt fan it replaced under a previous owner, the microwave pulled 1700-1900 watts The circuit also had lighting loads and a bathroom fan. The circuit load caused excessive voltage drop during every use (bathroom fan slowed down). Depending upon what was turned on the circuit breaker tripped, usually during family gatherings, about 5 times per year. The microwave was covered by my home repair warranty and a new microwave circuit from the panelboard had to be paid for separately. Keeler Electric had a good price for the new microwave circuit (I got about 5 bids) and I found out that Keeler could also do the installation of the microwave under the home warranty. Since the new microwave circuit needed to have a new circuit breaker installed, I took the opportunity to have some modifications to the panelboard done - relocation of a GFCI receptacle and extension of a plug-in transformer power cord that drove my cable television splitter box . Finally, the existing microwave receptacle was hidden IN THE WALL behind the cabinet above the microwave. The new circuit has the receptacle in the back wall of the cabinet for easy replacement of the microwave when needed in the distant future. The craftsman worked most of the day and completed all the work in a very professional manner -- all in one trip. If I had to use different contractors for the different work components multiple trips would have been needed. I am a retired Air Force facility engineering officer and I have done design and construction management in 4 countries outside the United States after I left military service. I monitored all work performed and I would definitely ask Keeler Electric for a quote on any future electrical work I may need."

"The contractor was excellent. We signed the contract on September 11, 2015 and the system was fully operational on November 20, 2015.  My house is all electric,( heat pump, well pump, the works ).  Over the winter our highest bill was $ 220.00. Over the summer most bills were about $9.00. One month, AEP actually owed us $15.00.  Given the size of our house (1400 sq. ft.) and our usage, we expect to reach break even in 4.5 years.  Given that the panels are good for 25 years, I'll realize a profit for 20.5 years. This means panels are actually going to be earning money for me? Getting solar panels is a no brainer.


I whole heartedly recommend RES."

"We started the process in June, didn't get our permission to operate until October. The installation process was pretty smooth, except for taking longer on the actual installation days than we were expecting. The solar panels went up in September, but it took until late October for the electric company to give permission to operate. The system seems to be working well, but haven't see a bit yet to find out how much we're saving Other than the work taking longer on the actual install days, the communication was excellent. We got regular check-ins and updates regarding the whole process"

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