"Amazing. He was here several times, always arrived on time with all materials. Before every job the pricing was discussed and I paid exactly what was agreed upon with no surprises. The electrician was kind, considerate and caring and explained everything to me. He made suggestions and took the time to help me understand everything. I learnt this is a family business and being a small business owner myself It was such a pleasure to have him here. So many companies today you get no personalized attention. He was always reachable by email or phone. I would highly recommend him and will continue to use him."

"Mike and his team are awesome! They upgraded my electric service to 200 amps, installed a new light fixture in my dining room, installed high hats in my kitchen, and replaced a number of other fixtures and outlets around my home. The work was completed in a single day and everything looks great! I've recommended Shamrock to my parents, and will definitely use them for future electrical work."

"This was a multi project visit: upgrading and running a stove line, upgrading my service to 200amp and replacing the outdoor sub panel for the pool filter. Cole was great! Responsive, visited and provided a detailed estimate of each job and showed up quickly to resolve. Would highly recommend"

"Danny is a great guy. Treats you like family and gives you a very fair price. Probably the lowest quote I received. Also very fair and honest about any other work that may come up. Will continue to use him for any future electrical needs. We had an electrical emergency and he came the next morning with his team for a 12 hour job. Power was on before sunset."

"I can’t say enough about Big Bear Electrical! I’ve had awful electricians, outrageous quotes and then I found big bear electrical. The owner Paul came the next day and gave us an honest quote and completed the job in 15 minutes! I’d recommended them to anyone seeking electrical help, without a doubt!"

"It was a great experience working with Anthony. Not only is he a very nice guy, he is an extremely knowledgeable electrician. Before Anthony came by the house, I had another electrician come by and say they would need to put holes in the wall and run wires to fix a problem and it would take longer to complete the job and cost $425. Anthony came by and quickly diagnosed the issue and said it was a very simple and quick fix. He wouldn’t have to put holes in the wall or run any wires. Anthony charged $50 to do the job plus $25 for the price of the part, so that saved me a lot of money, time and hassle. He even drove to Home Depot and purchased the part for me. Anthony is a master at his craft. He has 20 years of experience and runs his own family business. I highly recommend him for all your electrical needs."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Wading River, 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.
