Customers say: Quality work

"The overall experience was outstanding. Both the office and the electrician were extremely professional. When the old light was removed, the electrician discovered that the wires to the old light just came out of the wall and were not routed through a junction box, although the mirror had been cut to accept a junction box. He installed a junction box in the wall and the mirror cracked. How they react when this go wrong is how honest and reputable companies distinguish themselves. Streamline Electric came through with A+ plus behavior. Immediately, the electrician apologized, explained what had happened, called his office to report the incident and then cleaned up. The office contacted me that same day, took full responsibility and then arranged for a mirror company to measure for the new mirror. At every stage of the process, Streamline's office was completely on top of things, following up to keep me informed and later coordinating the schedules for the mirror installation team and the electrician. The job was completed perfectly and totally without incident. Not only will I use Streamline Electric again, but other members of my family were so impressed with this company and its service that they will use them as well."

"Work looks good and was done in good time. My only gripe was they didn't tell me the LED's they were using had such a warm color, I prefer the color be 5000 or higher. It's a drop ceiling and they went out and got tiles that match well to the current ceiling and cut the new lights into them quite well."

"Kevin , our electrician was efficient and very pleasant completing our project. We were given an estimate a week ago, completed job promptly, and beat the price from the estimate. I would be glad to refer him for further electrical work. The job was explained to us and we had a complete electrical panel with breakers replaced and each breaker was labeled with function for ease of knowing what appliance / service was associated with each switch. Thank you Jim and Liz"

"Doug is a master electrician and has completed not only a panel upgrade for us but several other electrical projects. He’s knowledgeable, reliable, and easy to work with. What really stands out is that he genuinely cares about the quality and appearance of the finished product—not just getting the job done, but making sure it looks great too. Highly recommend and will continue to call True Line electric for my electrical needs."

"Writer is a true professional and electrical guru. He arrived within the allotted time frame, got right to work and quickly identified the problem. He even welcomed me to watch him while he worked as he explained the intricacies of the electrical outlet (which was a GFCI multi-branched oulet, connected to other garage and bathroom outlets). It was clear he knew what he was doing. I would recommend him for any electrical problem or fresh installation, and plan to hire him in the future for other electrical projects I have around my house."

"We selected David and his team over 4 other electrical firms for his comprehensive bid, service and price. It was a complex job including a new box for a nex kitchen bath laundry living and bedroom. He came up with a great non invasive plan that laid the lines without disrupting current service at a cost that saved thousands. We then expanded the job to include fans and track lighting. He fixed all of the code issues with our old system. He and his team was on time responsive honest and competent. Would recommend I conditionally"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in South Lyon, MI

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.
