"I am so impressed with the work Elite electric did for me. I needed some help to install new breaker, manual transfer switch and disconnect box for my solar upgrade to hybrid system. He did an excellent job and worked his ways around some unforeseen obstacles when running the cables through the wall. I’m so impressed and I highly recommend him. He came on time and his price was very very reasonable. I had to had some money to what he agreed on because I felt he did way more than what he charged. I will definitely recommend him for any job and anyone."

"Tony and Earl were very professional. They installed all my cameras and checked everything to make sure it was working as it should. They were very polite and answered all questions we asked as they were working. They took time to explain how to operate all cameras. I am very pleased with their work and the courtesy they extended all along. Their work is excellent and their prices are very competitive. Highly recommend A & H Electric."

"They did excellent work on many different items. Had a light installed over the sink (replaced a canister with light), re-wired outlets for kitchen remodel, and installed Ring doorbells. Showed up on time (key for me) and did nice work on all of the items. I would definitely have them do any other electrical work for me."

"Excellent communication. Alex made it a point to let me know he would be a little late. He showed up right on time at the new time. He made sure I was happy with the service he provided and the charges were a lot less than I expected. I will, without a doubt, use them in the future. Good technician with a very good company."

"All went well. Chris the installer was prompt, polite and kept the work areas clean. A nice option from Southern Company is they will give you a quote before starting any work. The quote was $75 but included in final price if you accepted the offer. I would use their services again. <br />"

"Mr. Bailey was absolutely amazing. I have an older house and even simple projects become complicated fast. Mr. Bailey visited my home three different times and every time was a great experience for me. He showed up on time, every time. He was very easy to contact and he kept me informed of what was going on at every step of the job. He was incredibly professional even when my old house threw curveballs at him. I am so impressed with all of the work he did for me and my spouse and I will absolutely recommend him and hire him again if/when we need more electrical work done. Mr. Bailey is a joy to work with and he truly cares about his work. I can’t say enough about how much I appreciate him and his dedication to figuring out the puzzle of my house and making sure me and my family are safe in our home."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Augusta, GA

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.
