"I recently had Best Dressed Electric replace my doorbell chime and fix some lighting issues in my home, and I’m extremely satisfied with the service. They were prompt, courteous, and efficiently resolved both issues. The doorbell chime works perfectly now, and the lighting is brighter than ever. I highly recommend them for their excellent workmanship and professionalism. Thank you for your excellent work!"

"We purchased the home a month before all of our electrical issues started. Come to find out that water was following the main wire into the panel, and moisture was building behind the breakers. We found the problem when a circuit became overloaded, and the breaker didn't trip, causing the wire to overheat and almost cause a serious fire inside the wall void and drop ceiling. We started calling all the local services, and that's when we found Alex and the crew of Princeton Electrical Makeover (PEM). Even during the great pandemic (COVID-19) of 2020, PEM was responsive, professional, reasonable, and safe when coming into our home. Alex, the owner of PEM, took our call and immediately made us feel at ease. He asked us the right questions to start diagnosing the issues and even agreed to come out and look at it himself (now that's a great owner/operator). When Alex arrived, the same day we called, he wore a mask, gloves, and even shoe covers to keep the home clean and germ-free. When he realized the severity of the situation and our need for immediate service, he agreed to do the work immediately and called in some backup. Before we knew it, the house was back and running in one day. He and his crew found multiple burnt wires and a circuit that wasn't operating as intended. My family and I appreciated the great work that done so much that we invited PEM in to do some upgrades and installation a week later. Great prices, great service, great people make for an excellent experience. THANK YOU Princeton Electrical Makeover for being caring, honest, and reliable!!!"

"We needed to put a cable outlet on a wall in our music room where we were relocating a computer, desk, router and speakers, and Mike Stapleford did the job in about an hour or so. He has years of experience and was a nice guy.

"Michael was prompt, honest and professional. I would highly tecommend him for all your electrical needs. He took his time making sure that all fixtures are working properly, and when one old wiring didn’t, he went to Home Depot just to find something to make it work. He’s not like other contractors who sugarcoat something just coz they think they’re the expert. Michael was very patient in explaining it to me in layman’s terms. He’s very dependable and very knowledgeable in his craft. Hire him in your next project and you’ll find out that everything that I said here is true. I know I will hire him again soon. Thanks Michael as you are a gem. You are a great asset to your field and I wish you the best of luck!"

"In what could have been a tragic situation, Mr Jacoby came in and the wires were still smoldering in my walls. His professional stance gave me peace and he fixed the problem. My house is older, but I am confident that we are safe. As a very hands on ‘community worker’, I reach many and would not hesitate to to recommend Mr Jacoby (JNJ) to them all. Rev Dr Hilda Covington"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Riverton, NJ

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.
