"My experience with Apollo Electric was wonderful. I needed some normal electrical work done, and also some detailed more involved work. He handled everything with care as if it was his own home. He was very detailed oriented, neat, clean and very honest. Mike worked hard during the entirety of the job, I was very pleased and I would call him for any job I need involving electrical work for the future"

"Scott is very experienced and he knew what to do with an electrical problem that I had. Opposed to other electricians, Scott knew exactly what was wrong. He did a good job and I am especially impressed with his honesty. Scott didn't use scare tactics or try to talk me into other unneeded electrical work."

They were prompt, courteous, and efficiently resolved both issues. The doorbell chime works perfectly now, and the lighting is brighter than ever. I highly recommend them for their excellent workmanship and professionalism. Thank you for your excellent work!"

"I came to know Obez Electrical through a friend's referral back in.2016. Bryant presented himself very confident, professional, well communicative and so organized! The year 2016's project was to split 2nd unit in a multifamily setting with a separate electrical pamel, rewiring the entire unit, Bryant responded my service calls whenever there is a need, that's why whenever I need eletrical work, my 1st instinct is reaching out Bryant first. This year 2023 the past week I need electrical work in a new bathroom, with permit and it needs pass town inspection. Bryant was able to get through the challenges, cuz sometimes while on the job running the wires inside the walls, electrician could be presented with a variety of problems. Bryant has strong problem solving skills on site, being attentive to detail. Bryant has very good time management. He performed the job quickly, along with good planning skills, pretty much the same time as he first came to estimate the job. Needless to mention that Bryant is so patient and he educated me the electrical codes, which gave me a clear picture of what the requirements are amd how to comply with, I believe when next week I go to town and talk to the town electrical subcode official, we can be on the same page and talk in the same language, highly appreciated! Sincerely wish Bryant big success with his ecpanding business in commercial and residential. He can definitely charm you with his superior expertise! Look no further! I endorse him! If you need further details before you hire him, I can always be reached at Bianca.Zong@gmail.com Residential lamdlord, Boonton Township, Bianca Zong"

"Iâ ve been working with Henry for a few years now. He replaced and upgraded my electrical panel, installed lighting outside my home, and installed lights in my basement. He is really experienced and very easy to work with. Since I donâ t know much about the technicalities of the work, he took the time to explain to me what heâ s going to do, how and by when. He always goes above and beyond to meet the timelines he set at the onset of the project and the quality of his work is outstanding."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Cedar Knolls, NJ

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.
