"Fantastic electrician, highly recommend! Professional, honest, reasonable prices, prompt, extremely clean work area, and above average electrician. My experience began with Elite in October 2024 for my home renovation project. Immediately after the first job Elite completed, I had the confidence and trust that this electrician was above and beyond the best to assist in my entire home renovation project. In just a few short months, Jose has provided support in the project which we broke down in phases resulting with new recessed lighting, outlet upgrades and expansions, j-box location moves, horizontal coaxal cable pull, dimmer switch installations, and new light fixture installations. So if you are in the market for a new electrician no matter how big or small, I recommend giving them a call! "

"Jack and his crew did a great job with the work we needed done which ended up being more complicated than we had anticipated. He charged by the job rather than the hour, which worked out well for us since his crew had to pull half the wires out of the electrical box to figure out what previous electricians had done in our condo. Jack and his crew were honest and efficient and I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again."

"I hired Randy to install an EV charger and ended up having him take care of a few additional small projects as well. He did excellent work, was easy to work with, and charged a very reasonable price. I’ll definitely be using him again in the future and highly recommend him."

"I initially selected two companies on Angi.com to provide a quote for the electrical wiring needed and never heard from either company. Luckily, when I went back to Angi.com and selected SS&E to provide a quote, Gary contacted me and we discussed my project and I immediately knew that his company was right for the job. After an in-home consultation with Gary a week ago, Gary and Jeff came out and did exactly what Gary stated that they were going to do and the process couldn't have went any smoother. Both gentlemen were courteous and they communicated very well when they needed my feedback, otherwise, they performed their duties to my full satisfaction. I will absolutely be hiring SS&E again for another project or two in the near future. Kind Regards, Deon"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Aurora, IL

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.
