"Kevin from Reliant Electric responded within a couple hours of the online Angi request. He called me directly. Provided estimated cost and timing to troubleshoot my electrical issue over phone and the date and time when he could arrive. Kevin sent text the day before confirming time of arrival next day and sent text on day of when he was 20 minutes away. Kevin is very personable. I had a number of outlets that had no power, they all went out at same time, but there was no circuit breaker thrown. Kevin told me what he was going to investigate and methodically reviewed the wiring in the multiple outlets that were not functioning until he found the issue. He double checked that all were on same circuit and ended up replacing an outlet. Kevin verified that all outlets were then functional and put back in place. All told Kevin spent about 1 hour and 15 minutes at my house. Very professional. Highly recommend."

Customers say: Quick response

"Ed and his son were quick to respond to my phone call and give me a bid after checking out my electrical needs. They replaced 4 can lights, took down my old flourescent light fixture and installed 2 can lights and replaced the dimmer switch in my kitchen. They were quick, cleaned up well and the charge was fair! Definitely recommend! "

Charles has great attention to detail. They treated our home as if it was theirs. Joyce helped with all the documentation and warranty process. Great people to work with."

"They installed the wrong gauge wire for the load. The receptacle burned out two years later. Matt promptly came out, but said he couldn't find a cause. Was about to hire him again. Oddly, the friend who recommended them, they did that job correctly. My friend looked at mine and said right away, "These wires look thinner." Then I got a second opinion from another electrician, who demonstrated several defects in installation, including the work clearly not to code. This cost hundreds to repair, and was a near-miss of a disaster. I sent a detailed email with documentation and made a modest demand for compensation, a chance to preserve their reputation and make it right. No word after a couple weeks."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Ann Arbor, MI

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.
