"I can’t give Enlightened Electrical enough stars. John and his wife were amazing to work with! John was extremely responsive, knowledgeable, and gave some great suggestions to solve the lighting issues that were driving me crazy in my brand new home. One of the projects was to hang a ceiling fan in a room where no lighting existed. I thought this would be a problem but John had it all figured out and had it wired and installed in no time. John and his wife cleaned everything up before they left and were extremely considerate while in my home – and kept me laughing the entire time. Pricing was extremely fair as well. I have additional electrical projects coming up and will definitely be using Enlightened again in the very near future."

"Got an estimate to replace electrical panel. Got some good advice from Ralph but decided not to do the project at this time. Kept their card in case I change my mind in the future."

"It was done in two visits. First was the troubleshooting of outlets. I agreed to the $127 troubleshooting fee which it only took about 5-10 minutes to fix problem. It was a bit high but I agreed to it before I seen how long it took (to be fair, they also didn’t know how long it would take). They then quoted me $485 to run a new 20 amp outlet from my panel to my sunroom, to be done at a later date. I had thought it would be done in the same visit but it didn’t bother me to reschedule. I felt the price was fair to run the extra line so no complaints there. As for punctuality, they were about 5-10 minutes late which again wasn’t a big deal for me. I knew I was the first appointment of the day and that they were coming from Toledo. I can only give an excellent if they were here by the time stated but there was no issues on my end with the time they arrived. The electricians (2) they sent out were very professional and had excellent workmanship. I would definitely use them again in the future."

I am a retired contractor from the Midwest. Dee and I supplement our income with handyman work. We have hundreds of references for all sorts of projects, (as listed). The cost of operating a vehicle forces us to charge a trip charge if we are asked to travel out of the Golden Valley area. That charge varies according to distance but starts at $35.00 for more that 25 miles. All of our work is guaranteed. Parts are subject to the manufacturer's warranties.

Mr. John Sherlock arrived at the time and date specified to give us an estimate.  He returned the following day with his assistant and performed the job in one day.  He installed 26 copper lightning rods on the flat roof of our 7,000 square foot home.  These rods were connected with 500 feet of heavy duty copper cable and were grounded at three points with ground rods going down through the drainpipes into the ground. All parts of the system were securely attached to the roof.  He did a neat job and cleaned up all excess materials.  We were very pleased with the job him did.  Since installation of the lightning rod system we have had no trouble with lightning striking the house or causing power outages or surges.

"AHS is ok. They cover repairs of most everything under the roof of your house. The companies that contract with them are not always the best. You call AHS with the issue, they send a fax to the repair company and give you the contact info. If they don't contact you within 24 hours, you call them. Sometimes they answer, sometimes they don't. When they arrive (usually three days or so later), they service the item. if it has issues within the 90 days, you call AHS again, they are sent out with no charge. If the serviceman decides the unit is unrepairable, AHS will allow you to choose a replacement from their listing (usually not as good as what you have) they will install and remove your old item, or give you wholesale amount to buy and install your own. Prices vary on what you want covered and what you want the copay to be, plus where you live. For me it is 49.99 per month with a 75.00 time of service order. You can have more than one item serviced at the same time under the same fee. If you have a SEAR product the repair guys are great. Not that wild about the other ones they send out. But it is a big savings compared to calling someone on your own. The cost of service is only the 75.00 copay."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Wauseon, OH

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.
