"Had GLP perform a panel upgrade as well as install a level 2 EV charger in the garage. Carlos was extremely responsive and accessible. Very helpfully walked us through every step of the process from estimate to completion, always explaining the work he was doing and answering our many questions. Then, the work itself was high quality. Also very friendly in person. Highly recommend."

"Daniel from Imperial Electric did an excellent job for us. We had a relatively small issue that he rectified for us very quickly and then did a very thorough inspection of our entire house at our request. He made a number of recommendations to upgrade our old electrical system that were practical, reasonable and in line with current codes."

"We found a day or so later it wasn't working - we called the hot tub guys and insisted that they come out and show us what was wrong. They stated again it was wired wrong the ground wasn't hooked up and the neutral wires weren't connected. At this point we had it - the hot tub guys said it was the electrician the electrician said it was the hot tub. We called for a second opinion Select Electric - they came out and looked at everything - they rewired the hot tub to the specifications and connected the ground wire to the hot tub and connected the white neutral wires. He stated that the 20 amp circuit breaker needs to be replaced. We then paid Select Electrical $135.00 for their second opinion we asked if he could do it and he stated yes but it would be expensive. He said call the other electrician - Custom Power Electric to replace the circuit breaker. Customer Power Electric texted me and said they were coming out to see what he can do - I asked if he was going to replace the breaker as suggested he said if need be it's very expensive - I said the other electrician said that he could take it back to where he bought it and they will replace it. He said he would replace it if need be. I then said that I want it replaced. He then texted me that it was replaced and working. We used the hot tub on Tuesday and it was great. I went to check it yesterday and it's not working again the 20 amp circuit breaker had been tripped again. I didn't call Custom Power Electric yesterday to let him know. We've had this hot tub since 9/22 and only used it once and now can't use it. My husband and I both work and frankly don't have the time to keep dealing with this. My husband looked at the breaker and it looked like the original one - the scratches were in the same place. I would like to be reimbursed for what it would cost another electrician to replace the 20 amp circuit breaker and then have the electrician from Select Electric to come out and do the work."

"Outdoor electrical outlet kept tripping the GFCI frequently but with no apparent pattern. Couldn't tell if it was the items plugged into the GFCI, the GFCI itself, another GFCI on the same line, or something else. The technician was very methodical in his approach and was able to identify the problem as a bad underground line between two of the GFCIs. Not an easy one to solve. The wires were inside metal conduit but somehow water had gotten inside the conduit. Once the cause was determined, he knew exactly what needed to be done. The technician was professional, easy to talk to and did an excellent job. Pricing was very reasonable. I am very pleased with the work and would call them again for future electrical needs."

"From installing metal conduit, grounding all outlets, heighten electrical service pole, and installing new outlets- just to name a few details of this big project- they did it all and a great job! They were respectful of my property, insightful, and knowledgeable about residential electrical work. I had 3 other bidders for the job and I choose GRA because they actually took the time to assess the property and make recommendations. Additionally, they pointed out other electrical concerns that the other bidders did not notice. GRAâ s price was also the most affordable. They understood the job/upgrades needed and what I was looking for. Electrical safety was my top priority and it was great to work with a company with the same goal. The other bidders/competitors were recommending leaving outlets â ungroundedâ but update to GFCI and label as â no groundâ for close to the same price as GRA that was installing metal conduit and grounding every outlet throughout the home. It really shows GRAâ s commitment to safety and the project at hand. I highly recommend GRA for your residential home needs! There is no project too big or too small! They did a fantastic job !"

"Project was done quickly. Price was higher that others, but I hired them because they could address my issue immediately that same day. I had a small fire in my electrical box and needed the box and breakers replaced. Tech was knowledgeable and nice work work with and provided updates as he worked. He finished the job within a few hours. Reason for 4 stars instead of 5…price was high. Also, I came home the day after the job was done and my furnace was off and my washer/dryer breaker was tripped. Haven’t determined the cause yet, but will provide an update once I figure it out or have Precision back out to check things."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Willowbrook, IL

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.
