"Shortly after I contacted them they were at my home, diagnosed the problem and temporarily they were able to fix the issue temporarily. My water heater needed a new fuse panel and they were back in a few days and replaced it. "

"Team of Professionals We hired this company to upgrade our electrical services at home i.e to wire the new portion of home and to rewire the old portion from aluminum to copper. Their prices are reasonable and are fully staffed with a team of professional employees and technicians. Work is still going on at our project and so far have issues with the work.  The best thing is they provide quotes after visiting the location. Their employees are always happy and well trained to keep the customer happy with good work and best customer service. Always show up at the work site with planning and leave the work site clean. I highly recommend this company if you do not want Headache and like to deal with experienced guys. "

"I have no complaints about Mr. Electric. In fact, the technician went above and beyond and was excellent. He couldn't make it on the day of installation, which was unexpected, but his stand in honored his commitments. The only reason to not give 5 stars was that it seemed excessively expensive. I wouldn't pay that again for what it was. I'd do it myself. Even Angi gave me a reasonable quote. They charge six times that reasonable quote for a simple outlet transfer... 10/10 for customer service. I guess you'd have to be though, for all that money."

Customers say: Quality work

"From the estimate, where they didn’t try to push for additional work, through the tedious permit process in a part-time town during COVID, to final inspection, Hockenbury Electrical was nothing but professional. Not to mention they came in under budget. Five stars."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Annandale, NJ

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.
