"The company representative scheduled a visit to discuss our project and provided a free estimate. During his visit he was very professional and explained the various options available. After 2 days the electricians arrived and completed our project within 2 hours. The electricians were very professional and explained, in detail, each step needed to complete the job. Before leaving, the electricians made sure the work area was cleared of any debris. I will definitely use AtoZ Electrical Svc for any future projects."

"Daniel addressed a not so straightforward switch replacement that I had botched. Not only did have to install it right but also had to diagnose and replace the circuit breaker in the panel. He also had to further diagnose a wire that had been melted and address that as well. He showed great problem solving skills, cleaned up and was extremely professional and friendly. Even though the job took much longer than expected, he still only charged what he had initially stated. Would hire again."

"Amer was fantastic! We hired him for some minor electrical work for our new home and he was on time, professional and very informative. He charged us what we believe to be a reasonable rate to do some re-wiring, grounding and updating of some outlets. He informed us every step of the way what he was doing and gave us some new home owner tips. Should we need electrical services in the future he is the only person we would consider. Look no further and hire Amer!"

"Customer service was exceptionable and a pleasant experience. We had tree damage that cut our ComEd power (3PM). After ComEd cut tree limbs we were told the Weather Head had to be replaced before power was restored. We searched Angi & contacted MD (4AM) they texted within minutes and asked when they could call at our convenience or we could call them. We called @ 9AM and MD said Claude could come that afternoon. I said OK and explained what needed to be done. I was then told to hold and MD came back and said someone could be there in 35-40 minutes and I said great. They came out (10AM) checked line and said Meter Housing had to also be replaced. They had to go to a supplier to get housing and fixed both including reattaching AT&T line. Since there was excess electrical wire when the original Weather Head was installed MD was able to save us the cost of new wiring. They were done be 11AM and ComEd was done at 3PM that day. Thank You and your HOLMES attitude MAKE IT RIGHT the 1st time."

"The technicians that I had come to my rental homes were fantastic. Each visit I learned something new from the technicians. They're very polite and sociable. They not only checked the AC out, but they took the panels off and sprayed the coils with a hose to remove the buildup of debris. The technician also found a Capacitor that was not within working margins and replaced it as a part of my warranty."

"Joe arrived on time to examine the problem and immediately knew what had happened. He explained his theory (that the line had been cut) very clearly and demonstrated why he thought so. His expertise based in experience in dealing with similar problems were absolutely perfect for the job I needed done. He scheduled the work promptly and showed on time with 2 colleagues since a fair amount of digging was required. They dug up the old line and replaced it with a new line—upgraded by running it through rigid tubing so it couldn’t get cut ever again. I even got another unexpected and welcome upgrade since Joe provided a GFCI outlet on my patio. The team was very thorough and Joe was an excellent project manager. He is my new go-to for all things electric. I am very happy."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Riverdale, IL

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.
