"Excellent. Joe and his team of electricians were very professional. They replaced/upgraded my service entry cable to 200 amps and replaced the corroded breaker panel box in the basement as well. They coordinated the shutdown with National Grid and the electrical inspection as well and were really on top of everything throughout the process."

"Photon Electric did a superb job on my barn and house. The 1840s barn had old lighting that was shorting - and Marcus fixed that right away. He added outlets and lighting to two large areas of the barn then came to the house to sort out our mixed up panel. He was very attentive - he left the barn swallow nests intact because I had mentioned my husband loved them. He cleaned up everything, worked quickly, and was very patient with the electrical panel in the house. He added a light fixture and gave me a lesson on single pole 3 way dimmers. He was a pleasure to deal with. He was also the first to get us a quote through Angi and we got the work done super fast. We are so happy that he sorted us out. Recommend this proficient professional highly!"

"The entire team at OHara was *great.* Kelly was on top of all the office coordination and very easy to communicate with. Mike was very efficient and stayed late to make sure the job was done. They were willing to work with me and were familiar with the newer (and less popular) technology I was asked to be installed. Not only fantastic service all around, but their quote came in significantly less than a competitor. I will *definitely* be calling OHara for any future electric work and would not hesitate to recommend them."

"Due to shoddy electrical work in our home since we've been here, a set of 3-way to 4-way to 3-way wall switches were intended to power the light in our front entry hallway. I am not an electrician or electrical engineer, but I understand the concept of this switch arrangement and have successfully replaced a similar switch arrangement elsewhere in our home without any difficulty. We knew that our issue required an expert electrician to diagnose and resolve it. On this date, Steve from Palmer Electric paid a visit to our home to try to solve the problem. After two hours of head scratching and trying different approaches, Steve finally figured out the problem and fixed our issue. We are extremely grateful for Steve's expertise and patience while in our home. I doubt that an inexperienced electrician could have figured this out. We highly recommend Steve and Palmer Electric for home electrical diagnosing and repair."

"I needed to have a support beam put in my livi g room. They took great care to make sure I was satisfied with everything they did. Their workers knew exactly what they were doing. While they were here a pre-existing issue with my house came up. They took a look quickly diagnosed an electrical issue as being as bad as I thought. I worked with them to schedule and fix the issue the next day."

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