"We had the panel replaced and the surge protector put in. They did an amazing job and we asked them to also put in two dedicated lines for our kitchen. All the work looks and works great. I would recommend them if you need electrical work completed."

"This is the 2nd time I have used Safe Electric and both times I have used them have been great experiences. I had 3 new fixtures installed plus a new circuit run to be used for a new freezer in our finished basement. Jon & Eric were the two electricians that were sent to my home. They worked efficiently and quickly, but did outstanding work. Even though our basement had a finished ceiling, they were able to run a wire through with minimal disruption to the finished ceiling. I had concerns about the alignment of the lights on the fixture (this was a manufacturing defect and nothing to do with their installation) and they obliged me by improving the light alignment. They also cleaned up after they were completed and disposed of the old light fixtures and packaging materials for the new fixtures. Their work was excellent. The only negative aspect was the price which seemed very high to me. The cost for installation of the 3 light fixtures was $462 and the new circuit was $903."

"Brett did an excellent job installing a Level 2 charger, running wire from basement all the way to the garage. He explained what he was going to do beforehand, answered my questions to my satisfaction. I would definitely hire him again."

"I had a previously chosen pro from Angi's not show up to upgrade my 50+ yr. old electrical box after confirming the appointment two weeks earlier and paying a $1,600.00 deposit. So I started over searching for an electrician on Angi's List to do the job. Jeremy from J's Electrical/Maintenance responded quickly and provided an estimate with pictures I texted him. We scheduled an appointment for within the week (Sunday, his choice) and he got the job done. It rained off and on that day but most of the outside work was completed between showers. Jeremy was a good communicator, kept me up dated on arrival, supplies needed, time table, and what I needed to know about my new electric box. I look forward to using his handyman services for other projects in the future."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Westerville, 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.
