"Called in Current Electric for an emergency call as we had power out in one room, but no sign of a thrown breaker in the panel. Seemed to be some discrepancy with how the emergency call was dispatched; we called Friday and were told we needed to call later to reach the tech on-call. No, we are calling now for that. No call back on Friday evening, but Saturday we received a call from the on-call electrician asking if we still needed service -- yep, so he came out the same day. Once he was on site, he quickly diagnosed the issue (loose wire connecting to neutral bar causing arcing) and fixed it up quickly. No issues with the quality of service that Circuit provided once we had a tech on-site. Cost listed below takes into consideration the fact it was charged as emergency service, so does not truly reflect cost of parts/labor (which would have been lower during a normal priority call)."

"When not sure; he researched and sought expertise to do the job and/ or provided detail reason why work can not be done by qualified electrician. He also suggested reasonable alternatives to existing electrical concerns. He is on my speed dial list for all future work and when someone ask for an qualified Electrician."

Customers say: Quality work

"Tim was highly professional and punctual in fact they showed up an hour early. I wasn’t able to be home while Tim was performing the work. But he kept me in the loop the entire time. He advices a better alternative to solve my electrical outlet needs. Tim was very responsive with addressing all of the questions I asked via text leading up to the install day. Over the last couple of years I’ve had electrical work done by three other electricians two of which were good. Overall the level of service Tim provided was above and beyond."

"As a result of a selling inspection there was various issues with several outlets in my home. Also an issue with the wiring on a ceiling fan. My prior electrician let me down saying they were not available even after years of using them, but CK Electric jumped right in to help me as a new customer. CK Electric was excellent throughout the process. The technician that came out was professional, did a great job, and I could tell took pride in his work. I would highly recommend CK Electric for your electrical needs. Based on my experience they will not let you down."

"Paul was punctual. Physically, he was appropriately dressed and well-groomed. Personality, he was courteous and professional. Aptitude, he had a clear algorithm to tackle the problem, and he articulated clearly at each step. Due to the pandemic of the coronavirus, social distance was respected. Even though it took a bit longer to rectify the issues, Paul was meticulous and methodical with his dedication to the task at hand. I would not hesitate to call North Shore Electric, LLC for any electrical issues in the future. In addition, I would recommend Paul to all my family and friends. Lastly, this review was NOT compensated or solicited by anyone. Whenever I experienced great service at a reasonable price, I want to help spread the good news. Full disclosure, I paid $240 for getting my ceiling fans, lights, and outlets to work again. Extremely fair!"

"I enjoyed the Electrican Yuri K. He explained every step of the type of work that I would need to upgrade my electrical panel and that if needed I could get the work financed it’s quite a bit, but I know some upgrades are definitely needed in a 60-year-old house ABC has always been very polite very fast to respond to whatever my problems have been here at my home. I’ll recommend this company to anyone."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Thiensville, WI

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.
