"Upgraded to a 200 Amp service and added a lockout switch for a generator. He did an excellent job with the work. Biggest problem was working with the town and he was always communicating the status of the problems and able to work them out. Very good customer service."

"Philip has excellent customer service. He was quick and efficient in installing the ecobee 4 for us. He even took the time to recommend a viable alternative to the other thermostats we would need without adding additional wiring. We will definitely be hiring him again for future electrical work. Thanks Philip!"

"My garage electricity was out. I called him to get an estimate. He gave me a couple of troubleshooting suggestions for free. I followed them and they worked. Now, how can you not hire him if you had work to be performed or better yet, I thought of some things to be done around the house just to hire him for his honesty. People like him are rare to come by these days."

"I have used Supreme Electric for a variety of electrical services for over 2 years â replacing outlets to support new wall A/C units, replacing a damaged outlet, replacing a light fixture, upgrading my circuit panel and most recently installing a bathroom ventilation fan another electrician said could not be done. I was also provided assistance finding a carpenter to vent the fan out of my attic and I am considering future installation of a generator. Michael is always pleasant, professional and respectful and the quality of work is excellent. He explains exactly what is needed, prices are reasonable, he communicates clearly and promptly as work is being planned and he is always on time for scheduled work. I highly recommend Supreme Electric. It is always a pleasure to work with Michael and I personally will only be using Supreme Electric for any future electrical work I need to have done. Thank you Michael!!"

"Very professional and timely. He was really good at identifying any problems and suggesting fixes for them. Also very patient with all my questions and explaining the process. He installed a bathroom vent fan, a recessed light in the bathroom, and lights over my bathroom vanity. He also ran wires from the panel box to one of my bedrooms and installed more outlets as the room only had one. Helped me get an outlet for a garbage disposal and microwave over my stove. All done within a couple days as we completed other work."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Simsbury, CT

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.
