"I contacted Logan on Tuesday morning after waking up to a burning smell in our home the seemed worse near an outlet. They came out the same day and found there wasn't anything wrong with the outlet but we had too much on one circuit with our current wiring. (Later that evening our deep freezer went out which we determined was likely our burning smell and it was plugged into that outlet). After discussing out current situation with my husband, we agreed on a plan to add some additional circuits and outlets in our basement and garage. Logan let us know he would get an estimate together and we would go from there. The next day, we received a very reasonable estimate for the work and agreed to proceed. He said they had availability on Saturday. They arrived and completed the work as promised and even loved on our pets as they moved throughout our house. We did a walk through with them to discuss additional upgrades in our home. They were professional, prompt & reasonably priced."

"Couldn't afford to pay for an AC system, and labor, so I contacted Tom Martin of MMG and he was kind enough to send 5 star rated Senior HVAC Technician Dennis Canterbury out to tell me everything needed to have a fully functional AC system, allow me to purchase my own parts and do my own labor and then have them come back out and hook it up. Now that's top notch service!!!! 5 out of 5? More like 10 out of 10!!! I'll quote you this "If you're in need of HVAC, plumbing or electrical services, residential or commercial, from a company you can trust to go out of their way to make sure that you're sitting pretty in hard times. THEN YOU NEED MMG.""

"He came to the home to give an estimate. Was not pushy or insistent. Very thorough and honest. We decided to go with them. They were here on time and were extremely professional. Unit looks great and they even made the conduit /pipe match the house (white with the blocks and brick colored when it ran along the brick. Definitely recommend. Will contact them when it is time to replace the A/C."

"Lunsford Electric did an AMAZING job installing all of our electrical into our new log cabin. We are so excited to know that they will be returning to put in the finishing touches once our cabin is complete. We would definitely recommend using their services. We are going to hire him again when we are ready to do our garage! Thank you Lunsford Electric!!"

"Maccoy responded to my request for service right away. We were able to set up a time for him to come within days (other electricians I contacted were booked and I would have to wait a month or more for service). He was very knowledgeable and took care of our electrical issues quickly. Would highly recommend him!"

"Ed and his crew in WV are amazing!!  They came every morning and were here by 730 or 8am, and stayed until 430 or 5 every day; they even worked some days in the rain.  These guys are craftsmen and do quality work; they are perfectionists.  The work space was clean every evening, and they did not disrupt our lives at all.  They are a pleasure to work with and I hope to use them again in the future!

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Barboursville, WV

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.
