"They fixed my breaker and installed LED lighting, fire detectors in 3 bedrooms in a 6 hour period. Very professional and they cleaned up perfectly afterwards. They could have rushed through but approached me to ask if I wanted dimmer switches and what color. Great work, old school quality customer service."

"RP electric has done an excellent job for us on multiple projects. They upgraded an electrical panel in my home, ran wiring and installed outlets and switches for our neighborhood well backup generators, and ran wiring and installed a panel and switch for an outdoor hot tub. Their customer service and commitment to quality is outstanding. They are very knowledgeable, easy to work with, professional and personable, with fair pricing. I highly recommend them for any electrical service!"

"I first asked for a quote back in February of 2024. When I received the quote I decided to wait on this project. Then we lost power for 2 days due to a storm. I then decided it was time and contacted the contractor again. He sent me an updated quote and the project was scheduled. It's now installed and I'm very happy with how it turned out. Hopefully it will be a long time before we need to use the generator because we lose our power. But we are ready when it happens. I will definitely use this company again for any electrical jobs that come up. Andrew and his crew were great."

"I had hired another electrician that missed two appointments. Empire was at my house when they said they would be there. They were very friendly and courteous. They completed the job exactly as I wanted, finished sooner than expected and under previous bids that I had received. I now have an electrical company that I will call for all my electrical needs. I have already recommended them to my friends. Thanks Empire."

"The service I receive each time has been timely and professional. Josh was able to help me with all my lighting needs. He used his expertise to help me decide what kind of lighting is needed in each area of my home. He has done the electrical in two of my homes so far and itâ s been a wonderful experience from start to finish."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Rock Island, 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.
