"Two electricians from Blaze worked in our building for two days. They installed all the required circuits and outlets to power our new electric appliances. They were very responsive to my instructions about how to route the wiring. Pleasant demeanor."

Customers say: True professional

"First let me say that Ali was very respectful of my time and home. He let me know when he was 30 minutes away and let me know early that he would be a little late. I had Ali upgrade my electrical panel. He explained the entire process to me and let me know of future work that would be necessary, which included a need to rewire the entire house. Although he gave me recommendations, I never felt like he was scaring me or forcing me into hiring him to do this current job or future jobs. He was easy to worth with and gave me many payment options. Ali seemed very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Ali and will definitely consider using him again for my future projects."

"I have no problem with the quality of the work performed or the professionalism of the technician. He was very efficient and polite and did the work quickly. I'm very happy with the results of the work. The new light switch works great. My issue is with punctuality and responsiveness. My appointment window was for 12-4 pm, and the technician didn't show up until after 5. I did not receive a phone call, text or email to inform me that he would be late. I called the office to inquire and was told that someone would get back to me. Nobody called back. It would have been nice to know what was going on. I had no idea what was going on until my bell rang at a little after 5 and the technician arrived. I would have appreciated an explanation or an apology, but I received neither. For that reason, I can't give an A rating across the board. Based strictly on the quality of the work, I would hire again, but I was not happy with the other aspects."

"Our old circuit breaker panel was due for replacement/upgrade/ The job was not straightforward. Leon knew exactly what to do. His work is highly skilled; the results meticulous. When in need of an electrical contractor, hire L & H with full confidence. You will be very pleased with the results."

"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."

Was very professional and thorough with his work. I use him for any of my electrical needs from that day forward."

"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.
