"I needed an overhead wire providing electricity to my detached garage moved. Tom showed up an hour after I called and the work was done less than an hour later. Can’t beat the speed and a very reasonable price."

"I got them from Angie's. They gave me some tips or hints. Then I took advantage of their replacement of our entire electric service in 2015. I had them here twice. Once was for the inspection, once was to replace the in coming electrical service. I think that was like $50 or $60. It wasn't an awful lot. The first time and last time, I give them A across the board. A for everything, the promptness, the professionalism and even putting up with my silly questions. It was done professionally. It was done when they said they'd do it. The first time, they gave me an estimate on price of doing the full house. I think it was two years later when I called them back. I said, 'You gave me an estimate two years ago. How much has it changed?' He told me it hadn't. The price stayed the same for two years. I just felt good. They were here when they said they'd be here. They were here a long time. They were here whole day. They had to coordinate it with national grid too. They solved any problem we thought we had with our service so it was wonderful."

"Ken went to work quickly, replacing the meter box and stub cable, making the small modifications in the panel.  He re- fastened the loose wires,including the telephone and CATV wires and drop lines, making for a neat arrangement on the siding, and saving me from having to contact the phone company to have them come and make repairs.  While he was completing his work he contacted the power company to come and restore power to the house thereby minimizing my outage.  He also made arrangements  for the inspection required when such cables are replaced.

Ken was very professional, advising me of the work that was required, and what was suggested, making sure that I understood what follow-up was necessary with the inspection.  It was a pleasure dealing with KWD, who made every effort to minimize my service outage.

"I had an Absolutely Fantastic Experience!! My husband & I were so lucky to have gotten Jason Scharf to come out to our home, he was very insightful, helpful, courteous and very professional. Jason explained step-by-step what he was doing along the way & what would work best within our home with 4 different price ranges that would work for us. Jason was very informative. He mentioned and advised me on some items that would require attention on a monthly basis which I was grateful for. Upon completion, he reviewed the bill and explained any questions that I had. I was very pleased. Overall, Jason’s work was outstanding. I would recommend Jason from Astar to anyone I know that is in need of a central air system in their home. He was one of the kindest, funny and coolest Design Specialists by far. Thanks again Jason you're the Best! We can't wait for everything to be completed."

"Dave Spaulding, owner of Medic Electric, is extremely knowledgeable with any type of electrical problem a client could be experiencing and knows how to rectify the situation. He goes beyond to get the job done correctly. I hired Dave to replace a dining room chandelier replacing it with a lighted ceiling fan w/ remote. This is only a 2yr newly constructed home. Suddenly, the circuit breaker to the room refused to hold in place. On that very same day, Dave rapidly returns only to find that the contractor's electrician did not do the wiring in this area according to the code regulations. He pulled up his sleeves and fixed it without additional charge and he already DID HIS JOB THE CORRECT WAY...needless to say, I'll soon be discussing this scenario with the builder. In today's society and specifically in a work environment, one would be hard-pressed to find a professional, dignified worker with this type of tenacity accompanied with honesty. Would I recommend Mr. Spaulding....yes with the highest commendations."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Schoharie, NY

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.
