"Brandon electric was an awesome company to work with! Great customer service and a professional team. They helped us wire for and install two overhead lights in our bedrooms. They also installed a new outlet where we needed one, and helped by recommending the best placement for this new outlet. Thankful for this team, their guidance and their hard work! Would definitely hire again!"

"Frank Hammer and his team did a great job upgrading my electrical panel and installing a new floodlight. They worked clean, and fixed a few extra issues found along the way. Really solid and reliable work."

"A crew of four men, plus Mike, the owner and chief electrician, came.  I had bought replacement posts and lights at Home Depot.  They took out the old post lights and put in the new ones.  Several of the old ones were not working because the contacts (under the ground) had rusted.  The newly installed ones are working fine now.

"I had my panel and external service replaced. Cindy helped with scheduling and arranging for the inspection afterwards. On the day of the scheduled work, Evan arrived promptly, did a great job with the work, and answered all of my questions. Evan had also been out previously to give the quote for the work and was very thorough in his inspection and explained the reasons for all of his recommendations. Previous owners of my house had hired contractors that did some shoddy work. While Gen3 is not the cheapest quote you will find, they do their work properly and to code. I would definitely recommend Gen3 to others needing to do electrical work."

"I hired Lights On Electric to run an underground line from the electric panel in my home to my new storage shed, 80 feet within the home and 100 feet buried conduit to the electric panel in the shed. This required a rental trencher and some difficult hand digging. The work was done in one day by Hank and Chris. They are able technicians and they did an excellent job. Hank and Chris are a pleasure to work with. I'm very happy with the results."

"I've had Spotlight to my home on two occasions, once to replace knob and tube wiring and later to install several light fixtures. Joe provided services both times. He is punctual, very friendly and obviously knows what he is doing. Spotlihjt is my preferred electrical service provider. Dave L."

"Anthony D. and his protege were prompt, efficient and extremely courteous. They fixed my blown outlet, confirmed power to an appliance that a different repair person said had no electricity, and checked the electrical panel. They then went beyond and wrote a note to satisfy my home warranty company's request so that another repair person could come out. Extremely happy with their service and will definitely use them again."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Drexel Hill, 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.
