"100% the best electricians in Boise. They did a 200A upgrade and a generator inlet on my house. Perfect work, on time, friendly, and most importantly the best price in Boise. Definitely recommend them and will call them back if I need more. They did a quote and stood by it the whole time. No “nickel and dime” with these guys. Call them!!!"

"Would definitely recommend Chris Gregory - Owner at Idaho Star Electrical. Chris explained to us his process and cost up front and easy to negotiate on doing the full work or up to a certain point. We can do drywall and can easily put the bathroom fan into place, Chris had no problems with this. He kept us updated throughout the whole process, and took the time to explain any findings or possible changes, as he wanted to be sure we were on board with everything. Very easy to talk to and knowledgeable in what he does. Our home is older and he was familiar with the electrical work done in the past. He cleaned up his work area and again made sure we were satisfied with everything before he left."

"Jay Johnson exceeded our expectations and completed the job with ease. He updated our electrical panel, installed low profile lighting throughout our old house, added exterior porch and motion sensor lighting. He even changed out all of the electrical outlets, at my request, when we discovered one had shorted out. We can't believe how much lighting can transform the feel of a house interior and exterior! Jay is fantastic to work with! He had solutions to the project that other electricians couldn't do. He's on time, dependable, and very conscientious! We would hire him again and have refered him to friends and family!"

"We hired them to help troubleshoot some electrical issues around the house. They were able to replace several outlets and resolved the issue quickly. They were also able to give us a quote on a solar generator package to pair with our existing panels. Very knowledgeable staff, great customer service and excellent products and services."

"I bought an older house and was wanting to have some electrical work done. So I gave CJ electric a phone call and right out of the gate was very pleased with the customer service and effort put into even just a quote. I was helped with any question I asked, above and beyond. The cost was very affordable and the entire house looked great and worked great when CJ electric finished up. From start to finish they have been great to work with. No mess and no hassle. Highly recommend them."

"I have used the services of CES for several electrical needs Iâ ve had. I have always felt he was fair, honest and professional. One area that means a lot to me is that Charlie takes the time to explain what needs to be done so that even I can understand. One of the services CES has performed for me was to run electricity and tv wiring to my flat screen wall mounted tv so that no visible wires are showing. My wife was very impressed by what a nice job he did. Recently when I installed a mini-split unit in our second home in Cascade, CES did all electrical work that was needed to get the unit up and running. To say that I am a happy customer is an understatement. To find someone these days who has his work ethic, skill and honesty is a very rare thing. I recommend this company whatever electric needs you have."

"Ryan with Volt Electric by far exceeded expectations. When my power went out at 11:30 pm he called and showed up the next morning at 7:00 am. He spent 6 hours replacing my circuit breaker box fully. Ryan cleaned up and was very professional. I highly recommend Ryan with Volt. "

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Caldwell, ID

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.
