"Project was upgrading service from 100 to 200 amps, installing new panel, new meter, grounding, and a new drop from the street. I gathered a number of quotes, and by far felt the most comfortable with Mr. Hyman. Plus the price for the job was in line with my expectations. The work was completed quickly and professionally. I'd definitely recommended using them."

"not just professional efficient! Unbelievably fair priced literally less than half of what a major competitor on this site quoted using my own parts and my own wire! Just because there are any energy list doesn’t mean some people won’t try and rip you off and fools will pay it. Mr. NAGY is a professional and very ethical. I’d recommend hiring him again and again!"

"I found John Max Electric on Angi and couldn’t be happier with their service. They arrived promptly with a team of three skilled professionals who tackled each of the five electrical issues with precision and efficiency. What really stood out to me was their honesty—there was no price haggling, no upselling, and no push to sign up for a membership. I often feel anxious about hiring companies for repairs because of past experiences with unfair pricing or high-pressure tactics, but John Max Electric was a breath of fresh air. They were professional, fair, and top-notch in every way. If you’re looking for reliable and trustworthy electricians, I highly recommend John Max Electric. They’ve earned my trust and my business for any future electrical!"

"I hired Vital Electric to assess and fix multiple electrical issues in my new home. Lidwing quickly resolved a reversed polarity outlet, corrected a double-fed garage circuit, and addressed a panel safety concern—all within a two-hour window. Professional, efficient, and knowledgeable. Highly recommend."

"Saul and Three Brothers services did a fantastic job upgrading our electrical panel. Saul explained everything throughout, agreed to do the work on a Saturday to accommodate our schedule, and was just generally very customer service oriented. We couldnâ t have asked for anything more. Highly recommend for electrical needs."

"Kevin Williams was sent to repair problems created by another electrician hired by Kitchen Saver during an expansive kitchen re-face and cabinet installation. Among other things, he re-located an unsightly transformer that had been previously secured to the inside of the first shelf of a main kitchen cabinet to a lower cabinet out of sight. Voila! Then, he re-routed unsightly wiring previously clamped to the far corner of a glass display cabinet so that it was out of sight. These were difficult puzzles to solve, as the new cabinets had already been installed and there was no longer easy access. Kevin was friendly, professional, and experienced! Great job!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Silver Spring, MD

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.
