"We could not be any happier with the service. They were knowledgable and efficient. Answered all our questions and were very courteous. We upgraded our home to a 200 service and rewired most of the home including adding lights and additional outlets. Far outreached our expectations and even came under budget. Thank you for recommending this outstanding professional electrical service. We would highly recommend them at any time."

"I spent 6 months and listened to BS from 4 other electricians to get a simple service upgrade done. This guy had it done in under 2 weeks from estimate to complete. If I need other electric work done I know where I'm coming first next time! Thanks Guys!"

"Troy did an amazing job on several projects for us. He installed a 220 sub panel box and wired in a new hot tub. Additionally, he wired up our basement during a remodel, same as a new construction build. We hired him back on for the project due to the professionalism and fairness he brought with him on his first job with us. I’m a meticulous guy and picky about how my electrical work looks. Troy came in above and beyond of what I was expecting with his order of neatness and cleanliness when laying his lines. Everything had to be perfect for him and I feel he exceeded what my high expectations were already. I would certainly only consider him for whatever our next electrical project is."

"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."

"Well we were going to do a ground mount using re-purposed
metal, but there was not enough of it. So Renewable Engineered Systems designed
a system for the roof of the house. We Worked with Brian Brown who helped us
decide what to use.   The solar panel
system is very neat. Get to watch my power everyday.

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