"I had interviewed several contractors, and all of them refused to do the project due to the extensive work involved in getting the electrical wiring from the front of my townhome over to the side where the generator was to be located. Ben Rinker Electrical Contracting/BR Electric knew exactly how to accomplish this task. There is no comparison between Ben Rinker and other electrical contractors -- Ben Rinker is head-and-shoulders above them all. If you want the job done right, Ben Rinker/BR Electric is the contractor of choice. Everything is carefully planned out and implemented, and work is done with permits/inspection, etc. The Team of workers are professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and friendly. This company knows what customer service is all about -- they aim to please and want their customers to be happy and satisfied with the quality of their work. Highly Recommend!!!"

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