"We hired Steve to install our kitchen backsplash and we couldnâ t have asked for better results! He was super thorough and I really appreciated his attention to detail. We decided to go with a herringbone pattern which we knew was challenging but he went above and beyond our expectations & will 100% be hiring him again for future projects!!"

"Mr. John Gambino was fast, professional and priced fair. He attained a permit and checked bathroom fan install for my home inspection, everything from start to finish in a week. He is very knowledgeable and so so so kind. A trustworthy stand up man. I recommend him %200 to anyone looking for the job to get done right! I had two prior people scam me out of my money and push my renovations back 3 months for the same job Mr. Gambino did, starting the next day and completely done & inspected by the next week. Thank you so much Mr. Gambino! I will be using him for any services moving forward. "

"I would not select them from your directory of contractors or contact them for any future work. This is due to their failure to follow up with the scheduled appointment, resulting in a complete no-call, no-show."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Doylestown, PA

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.
