"Scott came out to trouble shoot our electrical problem when we could not get 4 other electrical companies to call us back. They quickly discovered the problem and made repairs. They were knowledgeable, professional and personable. Definitely recommend them and will definitely use them again when needed."

"We usually do not write reviews, but you come across a company that provides such excellent service you want to let others know. Blazer Electric is quite simply the best. Our home was built in the early forties and had the original electrical wiring. After friends had an electrical fire we became eager to have our home rewired. We found Blazer Electric on Angie's list and were impressed with their ratings there and on BBB.org. We feel very fortunate to have found this family business. Jack, the owner, monitored the mob and his work team could not have been more courteous and professional. They accommodated our schedule and even came on Saturdays to expedite the work to rewire all 3 floors. Their fee was very reasonable and were flexible as we needed new fixtures installed. We highly recommend this company. We are delighted with the job and cost."

"Vince Marino did a great job for us. We had an electrical circuit problem and called another electrician before calling Vince. Two guys came out, did some tinkering at the electrical panel and overcharged us. Vince, on the other hand, immediately started going through the house checking out circuits until he discovered the problem and charged us less. That's why we went with him for our new electrical panel. He was professional, competent, knowledgeable, friendly, on time, and completed all of the work as expected. I would recommend him to anyone needing small or large electrical work in their home."

"We found a day or so later it wasn't working - we called the hot tub guys and insisted that they come out and show us what was wrong. They stated again it was wired wrong the ground wasn't hooked up and the neutral wires weren't connected. At this point we had it - the hot tub guys said it was the electrician the electrician said it was the hot tub. We called for a second opinion Select Electric - they came out and looked at everything - they rewired the hot tub to the specifications and connected the ground wire to the hot tub and connected the white neutral wires. He stated that the 20 amp circuit breaker needs to be replaced. We then paid Select Electrical $135.00 for their second opinion we asked if he could do it and he stated yes but it would be expensive. He said call the other electrician - Custom Power Electric to replace the circuit breaker. Customer Power Electric texted me and said they were coming out to see what he can do - I asked if he was going to replace the breaker as suggested he said if need be it's very expensive - I said the other electrician said that he could take it back to where he bought it and they will replace it. He said he would replace it if need be. I then said that I want it replaced. He then texted me that it was replaced and working. We used the hot tub on Tuesday and it was great. I went to check it yesterday and it's not working again the 20 amp circuit breaker had been tripped again. I didn't call Custom Power Electric yesterday to let him know. We've had this hot tub since 9/22 and only used it once and now can't use it. My husband and I both work and frankly don't have the time to keep dealing with this. My husband looked at the breaker and it looked like the original one - the scratches were in the same place. I would like to be reimbursed for what it would cost another electrician to replace the 20 amp circuit breaker and then have the electrician from Select Electric to come out and do the work."

Everything was done professionally and on time. Highly recommend them if you want great service without overpaying!"

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