"Carmen came right away when called, I wanted my electrical service to be upgraded to 200Amps. He was very professional, and the work came out phenomenal. I called him a week later to put in a Tesla charger station. I couldnâ  t be more happy with the outcome. HIGHLY recommended."

"Brandon responded to my call immediately. He set up a time to meet and his co-worker Will showed up promptly as scheduled.He installed a 4 prong 220 outlet. He is very honest because he saved me $100 by using the existing wire when i thought he would need to run new wire. Both Brandon and Will were very professional and took the time to explain what they were doing. I would recommend Phillips Electrical without hesitation."

"Sedar is super friendly, a talented electrician, and trustworthy. He found that many of my wires were disintegrating and had to do a lot of extra work to fix it and didn’t charge any more than he quoted."

"We hired Chris to help prepare our kitchen for an electric range, which required a new high-voltage outlet connected to the electrical panel in the basement. He was responsive, clear, and gave a transparent estimate immediately. On the day of the job, he was punctual and thorough, and completed the task before the estimated timeframe with high quality work and clear explanations. He also fit in time to move an outlet for a dishwasher, which we had not previously know we would need, and kept the final total close to the original estimate including the new project. We would certainly use Chris again for electrician needs at our home, and appreciate his expertise."

"CH Electric were incredible! We had a major issue with our electric panel, and they were able to help us resolve it within just a few hours. They were also super flexible to add various other projects to the list last minute. Very honest, dependable, and hard-working team."
This is during the rough construction phase of the project if you look closely you can see out wiring
This is the best look at the new 200amp Service installed at the property.  We were able to work with National Grid to insure the proper sized drop was installed free of cost, and that the point of attachment could be moved so not to interfere with the siding contractor

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Swampscott, MA

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.
