"The electricians did a pretty good job, were prompt and careful maneuvering the ladder they needed to bring into the unit. Carrie and Jeremy on the phone were very nice and communicated well. Giving 4 stars because the electricians had to come back twice because they got the wrong parts from their supplier and didn’t appear to know which part they needed. For $250/hr I’d expect an electrician to know the right transformer needed for a light and the right bulbs to use. So the actual job to diagnose and fix the issue with the right parts took an hour or less but with all the back and forth with the supplier it became much longer. I had to call the office after the invoice came through and we worked it out. Just wish the guys got it right the first time so the cost would have truly reflected the work."

"Jamel was a dream to work with from start to finish. He communicated with us clearly from the start and was transparent about pricing. We ultimately hired him for two additional jobs, including a new panel and extensive wiring through plaster walls in our older home, all of which came out wonderful. I would highly recommend his services to anybody in need of an experienced electrician and contractor."

"I hired this company for replacing the electrical panel. The initial start of the project was positive but then, because of not maintaining consistent communication with me, as the customer, with the status as to delays, I was dissatisfied and did write a complaint. There were delays with the the electric service company which Peter was not responsible for and had no control over. However, after writing my complaint, Peter did improve keeping me better informed as to the status of the project and projected completion. The job was completed to my satisfaction and most importantly, passed inspection from the City electrical service provider. He did go out of his way to help me avoid any additional expense which could have been imposed by the City. That is much appreciated. Peter did do an excellent job as reflected by the end result."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in South Richmond Hill, 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.
