"The Electrician was very good, didn't install the replacement fan as he indicated that the ceiling in my guest bath would need to come down (a portion of it anyway) and he didn't think the new fan would make a difference in the noise. Said that bathrooms on the 1st level/main level of multi story homes are often noisy due to poor installation and some other issues.
He did fix a plug - and review the electrical panel.

"This is an exceptional company all around. I believe that hiring someone to do work in your home is an already challenging task, but hiring someone for electrical work which can become complex and critical to complete correctly is even more difficult. St. John Electric impressed me on every front. They were very communicative throughout the process, providing information to me throughout the day, no matter how many questions I asked. They were thorough in explaining exactly what was going to happen and making sure that I was not only aware, but that I was satisfied before and after the work started. We originally hired St. John Electric to help us install a transfer switch in our home for a portable generator. They did a phenomenal job in making sure we understood how to use it, how to operate the new system and made sure everything worked perfectly before they left. Once we realized how amazing they were, we quickly scheduled more work with them. They have not only made our home better in terms of fixing long-standing problems and finally giving us the capability to use things the right way, but they've made our home and family safer. They discovered wiring problems we weren't aware of and never would have noticed. Other contractors and electricians have glossed over these items time and time again, but St. John Electric pointed the problems out, told us our options and then ensured that they were fixed properly. Being happy with their performance is an understatement...simply put, this company is amazing and I am so thankful to have found them to start work with. I would recommend them for any type of work involving electrical you can think of...they know what they are doing, they will do a terrific job and they will blow you away with the results. Thank you so much for making our lives better and our family safer."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Rochester, MI

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.
