"They charged more than I was quoted for 2 hours of work. It went a few minutes over 2 hours because of some communication problems between the electrician and the person doing the work (electrician recovering from surgery so he was giving instructions to an assistant). I had to explain that the assistant hadn?t hung the light properly because the wire was shorter than the chain length, which I had cut to the exact length I wanted. The assistant hadn?t hung to redo the work, which also took extra time. They then installed the wrong fixture in my closet. Instead of replacing the pull chain light with the new pull chain light they replaced it with the wall switch light, which was obviously meant for the other closet. So they spent a good half hour installing the wrong light. The work was done right in the end (I hope), but I felt cheated because I had overpaid for work by an electrician who didn?t even do the work himself, and it was done sloppily and at a higher rate than I was quoted.

"Julio and New Generation Electric llc was great. Julio updated my electrical panel from a 50 amp main breaker to 100 amp main breaker. Julio saved me from having to replace the whole panel which I was told was needed to upgrade to a HVAC system. He also referred me to a couple guys to possibly install a new HVAC system for less then what I was quoted for. I would definitely suggest Julio and New Generation Electric llc for your electrical needs."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Cerrillos, NM

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.
