"First, Nathan came to our home to give us a quote for a panel upgrade and new wiring with a dedicated plug-in for an electric fireplace I ordered. He was very personable, and explained each thing they would do, then arranging to get the work done quickly as soon as we accepted his bid. Jaden and Jarrod came out to do the job and both were very professional and efficient, cleaning everything up as they went. We are very satisfied with their work and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company or use them again should the need arise. Thanks to all 3 of you for a job well done! It was great meeting all of you. Joyce Naslund"

"Hal is quirky and sometimes hard to keep in contact with.  It took a while to arrange everything.  I say this because you may well encounter the same issue if you use him.  Despite that it was worth it, so I offer it as a warning but also encouragement to be persistent anyway.
We used Hal before.  When we wanted to add another section of fence we had some designs I wanted to build myself, but I loathe putting in posts.  We contacted several fencing contractors, looking just for putting in posts.  Quite a few were completely uninterested in the job, either evidenced by never following through on an estimate, or giving us absurdly high quotes.  Everyone else was more expensive than Hal ? it's hard to say by exactly how much, since they were quoting slightly different jobs, but I think 50% more expensive or more.
Talking to Hal we decided to have him build the entire outside of the fence; for sound insulation we would later add an inner layer, insulation between the layers, and a sort of built-in planter and bench.  I would have felt comfortable with Hal doing that part too, but actually explaining what I wanted (and deciding what I wanted) seemed too complex, so I had decided early on to do most of that myself.
Since we knew we needed a bunch of extra lumber, that should match what Hal was using, we asked him about it, and he was happy to order extra wood and deliver it with the rest of the supplies.  I didn't expect him to plane the wood and use a router on the edges, but he did, which is great.  It makes the fence look far better than if it was using wood straight from the lumberyard.  He even softens the edges of the posts.

"Excellent service and professional staff. Completed work according to contract and did so in a timely fashion. Would never hesitate to call them again or recommend them to family and friends. They also took care of contacting inspectors and getting us a rebate from the electric company."

"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 Aitkin, MN

While homeowners with substantial electrical knowledge might technically attempt a subpanel installation, most local building departments require permits and inspections for this type of work. Professional electricians understand local code requirements, can obtain necessary permits, and ensure the installation meets safety standards. Given the significant safety risks associated with incorrect electrical work, most homeowners benefit from hiring a licensed professional.

A standard subpanel installation takes an average of four to eight hours. This timeframe may extend if you're installing multiple subpanels or adding specialized circuits like those for spa equipment. Factors such as difficult access points, complex wiring paths, or permit processing times can also affect the overall project duration.

Adding a subpanel doesn't directly reduce electricity consumption or lower your utility bills. A subpanel simply redistributes power from your main panel to additional circuits. However, organizing your electrical system more efficiently may help prevent overloaded circuits and the associated problems. For actual cost savings, consider energy-efficient appliances and lighting instead.

The appropriate subpanel size depends on your specific electrical requirements. Consider the number and type of devices you'll be powering, potential future needs, and the capacity of your main electrical panel. An electrician can perform a load calculation to determine the most suitable amperage rating for your situation, ensuring you have adequate power without overpaying for unnecessary capacity.

A main electrical panel connects directly to your utility's power supply and contains your home's primary service disconnect. It distributes electricity throughout your entire house. A subpanel, by contrast, receives power from the main panel and redistributes it to a specific area of your home. Think of the main panel as the primary distribution point and the subpanel as a secondary branch that extends your electrical system's reach.

While electrical upgrades aren't as immediately visible as kitchen or bathroom renovations, they can contribute to your home's functionality and safety. Prospective buyers often appreciate updated electrical systems that can accommodate modern power demands. A properly installed subpanel that provides additional capacity for workshops, home offices, or future expansions could be an attractive feature for certain buyers, though the direct impact on home value varies by market.
