"I have known Doug and his son Mark from On the Grid Electric for many years. They have done electrical work for myself, my family and friends as well as a number of my real estate clients. They are knowledgeable, dependable and honest. They make sure that everything is done correctly and meets or exceeds code. It’s why I don’t hesitate to recommend On the Grid Electric, LLC."

"Upgraded to a 200 Amp service and added a lockout switch for a generator. He did an excellent job with the work. Biggest problem was working with the town and he was always communicating the status of the problems and able to work them out. Very good customer service."

Customers say: Quality work

"If not for DC Electric fixing my pool motor, I would not have been able to lower the water in the pool in preparation for the additional inches of rainfall, thereby preventing possible flooding. Not only that, since I had Mr Cropanese here, he was able to address another electrical concern I had. Most happy with his work and will recommend him to others."

"Philip has excellent customer service. He was quick and efficient in installing the ecobee 4 for us. He even took the time to recommend a viable alternative to the other thermostats we would need without adding additional wiring. We will definitely be hiring him again for future electrical work. Thanks Philip!"

"Adam actually returned my first call. He made an appointment and arrived on time. We are slowly restoring our Victorian home where you never know what you will find next. He was very professional and installed wiring where there had been a gas light and put it on a 3 way switch. Avery pleasant experience. Highly recommend.."

"Highly recommend! He is always on time, professional, and really knows what he’s doing. His pricing is very reasonable and fair. What I appreciate most is that if something unexpected comes up while he’s working or something doesn’t go as planned, he is quick to communicate, explain what’s going on, and come up with a new solution. He doesn’t leave you wondering what’s happening and always makes sure the job gets done right. Very reliable, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. I would definitely recommend him for any electrical work!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Windsor Locks, CT

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.
