"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."

"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!"

"Carmen and his team did a great job on helping me upgrade my panel as well as change my meter box. I also had an old wooden mast that they changed out and replaced with a much nicer modern fixture which was great. My house was old and I actually bought it many years ago as a forclosure renovation. So some of the previous work was old and not done correctly. Carmen, Shawn and his team were great to work with. I was worried that no one would take the job because the previous owner had not done a great job. Carmen and his team dived in and made all of the main wiring to the house beautiful and secure and safe. I would use them again for any electrical work big or small. In addition I would add his team comes very well prepared. They have every tool imaginable for the job and are ready to go. I am so happy I choose them. A local neighbor recommended him to me. I looked at their breaker panel and liked how neatly it was done. Thats why I choose Carmen."

"I hired Mike to rewire and replace the outlets in my home as well as install brand new lighting, outlets and switches in the finished attic. His workmanship is nothing short of exceptional. It's plain to see that Mike is a professional who cares about his work, and more importantly his clients. His pricing is also very competitive. No need to worry about mile-long contracts and being charged hourly on top of exorbitant fees etc. If you are looking for any kind of electrical work to be done in your home, I highly recommend you give Mike a call or text. I guarantee your experience will be as good as mine was!"

"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,"

"Ryan did a great job in my upgrade from a 100 to 200amp panel! Great communication, very responsive, on time, minimal destruction (which was impressive given all the wires he had to put behind my drywall) and kept things clean. Before giving me a quote he took time to walk me through the entire job and explain how it would have to work. I really appreciate this extra step to help the customer understand the complexity and design and ultimately the costs. Throughout the project he gave me clear progress updates. He even helped with a problem I was having with an appliance which was unrelated (we now know) to my electrical work. He went above and beyond!"

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.
