"Horrible experience due to a conflict between 2 brothers who own a firm. Ron gave us quote and went over job. We agreed to quote and he told us we were on the schedule for 10/21. I never received a written quote so called the morning of 10/21 to see if they were coming out. Geoff showed up 2 hours later with an assistant. Apparently Ron had never put us on schedule so asked Geoff to cover for him. Geoff picked up a unit at Menards on the way in. Wrong unit. Cut hole in ceiling in the wrong place (too close to the wall). Ran a new circuit then told my wife they had to get a part and would be back in 5 days (Wed.). They left the bathroom a total mess and electricity was off in both our bedroom and bathroom. Called Ron the next day and found out we could turn on the circuit breaker but would have hot wires in our bathroom until Geoff came back on Wed. In the meantime, I realized this was taking longer than expected and asked how much it was actually going to cost. After some hemming and hawing, Ron agreed to finish the job for $800 (25% more than initial quote) then called back the next day to say we should find someone else to finish the job. Wanted us to return unit to Menards that his brother bought. Said we did not need a receipt and could get a store credit . We do not shop at Menards so a store credit was useless. We paid them for the time they already had in and the unit is still sitting in our garage. Job was finished by another firm and total, including what we paid to Bills, was far less than original quote from Bills. I would never, ever recommend this company to anyone."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Canton, OH

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.
