"Where other companies just assumed a generic installation, Walter Electric spent a lot of time planning a customized arrangement that worked best for our particular layout. They gave more options and suggestions, and it made all the difference in the end. I would definitely recommend them to anyone thinking about lighting installation!"

"Everything went quickly and smoothly. I finally know what all of the circuit breakers are hooked up to and have a better idea of how the circuits in the house are wired.

"Originally, I had some concerns...it took over a week to get someone to come out and give an estimate and during that time, Atlas Electric forgot who I was and I had to remind him 2-3 times what I needed done. There was also confusion as Atlas assumes that their customers will use and respond to SMS messages. However, once the electrician came out, it turned out he was quite reasonable, knowledgeable, responsive, and decently priced. And, followup was very fast. Indeed, the job was done perfectly and I don't think any other electrician would have done a better job. The wiring for the new circuit branches were hidden properly....an effort above and beyond my expectations. New outlets were flush and pristine. Installation of the new wired smoke alarms was also done perfectly and with patience. Discussions of future projects with Atlas Electric went well and I would recommend them to friends. The company just needs to get a better customer management and contact system....unlike other businesses, Atlas doesn't seem to use a call center or receptionist or anyone other than the electrician to respond to requests."

"Very pleased with service provided by Aardema electric. They have assisted us with electrical issues several times, professional, efficient and a pleasure to work with. Pete worked us in when we encountered electrical issues that would have held up our construction job and took care of the problems right away. Our construction crew was able to continue working with no delay. We will surely be calling him again next time we need an electrician.

"Great. Most electricians that I spoke with wanted to change out my fuse box. He reviewed box and said he could replace fuses. Then, he inspected wiring that was causing fuses to trip and found the problem. Great work."

"The electrician was awesome.  I like the price and his being punctual.  He even did a follow up.  Everything was good and it was a great job.  I chose him because I got him from Angie's List and when I was talking to him, I found out that one of his cousins works for an electric company and I knew his cousin so that sealed the deal."

"The overall experience was good. Even though our roof is quirky and we have parts that are shaded, they were able to angle panels in different areas to get the maximum sun exposure. There was one glitch...the system wasn't working when we first turned it on upon approval from the electric company but once I contacted them they were quick to come out. The problem was a switch that hadn't pushed on properly and was an easy fix. We felt like they worked very hard to get the system in for us quickly and were polite and professional throughout the experience."

"The guys an Independent Energy Solutions helped me finish the solar installation on my house, ensuring 100% code compliance, and finalizing the connections to the grid.  They were extremely responsive and very quick.   They have since helped a number of the homeowners in our neighborhood fix and/or upgrade systems originally installed by Shea Homes (original home builder) in 2002 and 2003.

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Borrego Springs, CA

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.
