"This was the best electrical work I have seen In a while! He did a great job came out on a Sunday! We wanted to install a electrical plug, coax and Hdmi plug for behind our flat screen. He did an amazing job!!! For 180 he was here for like 5 hours in and out of the attic Passing cabling thru a tiny hole he did such a professional job I am so glad I found him! I did the home advisor request at 10:40pm and he called me right after I hit send! And was here the next day! He came and then went to lowes and did all the shopping for the supplies came back and got to work! Highly recommend him!!"

"Great guys! Waiting for quotes, but they were very professional and down-to-earth. Had great conversations with these two electricians, discussing the design and direction of my business and its focus with them. Great opportunity to network and have a feeling that we will be seeing them again really soon and just waiting for the quote now as they were able to consolidate many electrical circuits on my panel to make room for my new equipment where as other electricians wanted me to install an additional service panel at the cost of 2000usd for the extra equipment and that's not including adding the three drops for the equipment. These individuals are focused on efficiency and problem-solving. It costs you less money to handle the most complex tasks."

"The contractor was excellent. We signed the contract on September 11, 2015 and the system was fully operational on November 20, 2015.  My house is all electric,( heat pump, well pump, the works ).  Over the winter our highest bill was $ 220.00. Over the summer most bills were about $9.00. One month, AEP actually owed us $15.00.  Given the size of our house (1400 sq. ft.) and our usage, we expect to reach break even in 4.5 years.  Given that the panels are good for 25 years, I'll realize a profit for 20.5 years. This means panels are actually going to be earning money for me? Getting solar panels is a no brainer.


I whole heartedly recommend RES."

".The original deal was for 6 lights at $649.  We added some extra work for an additional $1700.  The designer worked with us and made recommendations to help us get what we wanted.  Communication was good and the work was done as scheduled.  I wasn't as impressed with the quality of the work.  They are spots where the wire is exposed and not completely buried.  The wiring to the lights that were mounted on the fence were secured with a wire tie.  I expected something a little cleaner and neater than that.  The lights themselves do the job they were designed to do and we are pleased with that.  I guess overall I am a little disappointed with the quality of work vs. the cost."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Colonial Beach, VA

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.
