"After getting a few estimates, I chose to go with Hughes Electrical with my above ground pool electric panel. William did fantastic work, he was very precise and thorough. He installed the panel, pool pump wiring and the pool frame bonding. I also received an extra convenience outlet by the control panel for anything else I needed plugged in! The inspection passed smoothly will no issues. I highly recommend this company, amazing job!"

As a residential electrician you never know what you’re going to get into, that is why I love giving my customers a free estimate to help prepare them for the upgrade, repair, or new installation they’ve been thinking about. From panel upgrades just a simple dimmer switch installation, I bring a quality of work and up-to-code knowledge to help you improve your home.

"Very high priced. They installed 2 electric outlets and didn't run the wire inside the wall. I expected the wire to be run inside the wall...I thought it was unprofessional"

"The professionalism, attention to detailâ s, and making sure everything is done to exactly what was asked for was spot on. He ran all new wiring, installed outlets, new recessed lighting, and dimmers for our newly finish basement. I cannot sing praises for going out of way to ensure our expectations were met and then some. The work was of quality. Most importantly the pricing was vey reasonable. I recommend Mountaintop Electric all the way."

"Tony was AMAZING!  He arrived on time, and worked non-stop until the work was complete.  He kept everything neat and clean, Probably cleaner than when he got there when he left.  He even made sure my garbage disposal didn't need to be replaced and my dishwasher didn't leak.  He was professional and friendly.  Welcomed me to my new home and wished me good luck in my home when he left.  When it came time for a bill, he called the office to make sure I got the correct amount (a discount on Angies List was provided). 
It's good to know there are business professionals that believe in GREAT SERVICE and hire GREAT EMPLOYEES THAT FEEL THE SAME WAY!
I have dealt with plumbers a lot over many years as a renter, and never had I ever had such a wonderful experience.  I would highly recommend HL Bowman to any of my friends or family, actually they would be the only plumbers I would recommend to anyone.  I will never have another plumber as long as I own any home. 
Bryan also came to give me a quote on a conversion to gas and a all new/all house HVAC system.  He was extremely thorough and took lots of time to make sure he got exact information.  I look forward to getting his estimate as I am sure they will be competitive with the other companies I have contacted in the area.

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