"The Electrician and his apprentice arrived on time at 7:30 AM. They assessed the job and got straight to work. Despite the complexity, they were done within 4 hours. This compared to a competitor who couldn’t quote or start the work the same day. The electrician and his apprentice were pleasant, friendly and professional. They patched everything up as good as new and the outlet and new light switch looked great. I would hire them again and probably will when I upgrade the wiring throughout my condo. Great company!"

"GREAT! Joe was easy to work with, very skilled and knowledgeable, and very reasonable. The work he did was top notch (fast, he cleaned up, wore a mask, etc) and he even spotted some extra work that needed to be done for safety reasons (fixing a wire outside the house). We've hired him before and absolutely will again for anything electrical."

"Recently, I had a three unit heating and hot water upgrade. During the install, it was determined that the electrical wiring was out of code and some of the wiring had been done incorrectly. Carmen and his team came to the rescue. Carmen knew exactly what needed to be done and went to work immediately to fix the issues. He and his team were polite, knowledgeable and professional. He explained what needed to be done and answered all my questions. Who could ask for anything more? I feel good and safe about the work that was done. The honesty and earnestness that was shown and given has earned my trust. I will call on Carmen and his company for any future electrical services. Thanks guys!"

"Joe O'Connell did extensive rewiring to replace knob/tube wiring in our 150 year old house. The project involved running new wires through walls and ceilings into over six rooms, along with upgrades to electrical panels. Joe and his assistant were very courteous and respectful - they were careful to cover the hardwood floors and use drop cloths to control the dust, and vacuumed up at the end of each day. Joe did great work, everything to code, no cut corners, and brought to my attention some concerns outside the scope of the project that we also had him address. He is a good communicator and returns phone calls promptly. I completely trust him and the work he does, and recommend him highly."

"José has great communication, he came by within an hour on a Sunday! He was super knowledgeable, friendly and very reasonably priced. He fixed our electrical issue for the time being, also explained what needs to be done and upgraded to not have any more issues. He quoted us a great price. So glad to have met an honest and fair electrician."

"Sedar was extremely professional, he made great suggestions on where to best install the EV charger for minimum wiring. Did a very clean job in a very short time. He also replaced a regular outlet and adjusted floodlights at no charge. Will definitely hire him for future electric work and highly recommend him,"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Reading, MA

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.
