"The two young men that set a switch to connect a portable generator to my electrical panel did a super job....more than was I expected. They were professional, efficient and best of all they cleaned the metals shaving around the work site. I would highly recommend T.M.A. Electric."

"After 2 months of getting bids for a semi large electrical project, we reached Joshua through a referral from one of our friends that owns a restaurant. Josh came the following day and did an assessment and gave us a different approach to solving the issues we had with electrical corrections needed to pass inspection. What I really liked about Joshua was that his code knowledge was immense and he backed his estimate with real code knowledge. Yesterday we passed our inspection with flying colors. We are very grateful for the knowledge and responsiveness of dependable power, and will be referring them going forward to anyone in need of electrical help."

"Extreme Exteriors did an excellent job. Not only did they install an extensive system of quality gutterguards on my large home, they did it in a professional and complete manner. While they were on the roof they noticed several small issues and fixed them. We are extremely happy and satisfied with the quality of the product installed and the craftmanship of the application. We are very happy with the result and the obvious improvement to the equity of our home. They were personable and professional in their manner. Money well spent on such a fine upgrade, excellent work, and they finished the job in a timely manner. Very happy that trees will no longer grow in our 6" continuous aluminum gutters. :-)"

"WE CUT OUR GAS BILL IN HALF DOING RECOMMENDED UPGRADES. THEY DID A COMPREHENSIVE HOME AUDIT AND THEY GOT A REPORT FROM CONSUMERS SPECIFIC TO MY HOME. IT HAS MADE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LEVEL OF COMFORT OF THE HOUSE. NO MORE FREEZING COLD SPOTS. THE GUY THAT CAME OUT WAS EASY GOING AND VERY INFORMATIVE. WE GOT REBATES FROM CONSUMERS FOR DOING THE UPGRADES. THEY INSTALLED A WI FI THERMOSTAT WHICH WORKS WITH MY CELL PHONE SO THAT HAS BEEN FUN USING THAT FEATURE. OVER ALL "A" EXPERIENCE."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Columbus, MI

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.
