"Very responsive business and communicated every step of the way. From what he diagnosed I had a bad wire in the ceiling of the garage that shut my breaker off and wouldnâ t reset. I had no lights or plugs in the basement for days as I tried to figure it out myself. He came in and was easily able to diagnose, fix, and get it all back up minus the one plug that relies on the one dead wire. Iâ ll be putting that in since Iâ m taking my ceiling down anyways. He has all the experience needed and professionalism a master electrician is. Definitely will hire again and will recommend to anyone who needs an electrician."

"We hired Mike and his crew to help with updating and renovating our recently purchased home. Originally built in the 60s, there was a lot of wiring and fixtures that needed replacement. Mike was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and helpful in taking our ideas and bringing them to reality with unbelievable efficiency. Not only did he help us with every room of the house, he even went into crawl spaces and attics to ensure all the wiring was up to code. I am so glad we used Mike and will not have to worry about any of the work he has done. I can confidently say that after going through numerous electricians, Mike will be the first and only one I use as long as he?s in business!"

"Excellent. Chris was very patient and thorough, he went above and beyond what I hired him for. I would hire him again in a heartbeat as well as recommend him to all my friends. I purchased a new pool pump which required a licensed electrician to place the electrical cord as well as the ground wire."

"Ron and his team have been a real pleasure to work with. I had water damaged in my master bath that turned into a master bedroom floor replacement, a lower level drywall replacement in 3 rooms and a complete master bathroom remodel. Ron worked with me through every step of the renovations. From initial inspection to renovation ideas to improve the functionality of the bathroom. Put me in contact with a great design specialist for materials for the bathroom. I have worked with other teams before and they can not compare to the high quality and professional attitude of Ron and his team. I am a bit of a perfectionist and noted things that I wasn t sure about but Ron s team or Ron would quickly answer my questions or work with me to improve the design and/or the things I wanted done differently. His team noted small things around the house and took care of them without asking or adding cost to the project. I had a few pieces of drywall tape in other rooms that had started to work there way off and his guys redid them and paint the area. Ron and his team have made this project very easy for my family and I. They are efficient and have a true art for their trade. They produce a high quality product. They always maintained a clean environment while they are working. Ensuring that they clean up their work site at the completion of everyday. Respectful and polite during every conversation. Work with me to answer my questions and fix the issues I note throughout the project. Returns phone calls quickly normally within a few minutes. Or he will come over to the house to answer my questions in person. And show me his thoughts so we can brainstorm the best results together. I would HIGHLY recommend using them for any home improvement project you may have. I will definitely be using them again when we decide to move onto the next home improvement project. Great friendly company of professionals."

"Cawiamca Heating, Cooling, and Electrical was professional, knowledgeable and nice from the very first call. The owner Ron came out within a day to scope out the project and provide very reasonable quotes. From there, he quickly scheduled the install of the new Furnance and had his team out very quickly. His team worked diligently, were knowledgeable and very nice. They were efficient and clean during the install, leaving no debris leftover. I would highly recommend using this company as I know I will continue to going forward. "

"Biagiarelli designed, installed a complete network with smart home automation. I asked Ben to use Homeseer and he did a great job. He also programmed Smart Pool Hayward. This was a very complex project which also included 200+ speakers, 32 zones of sonos, complete wife install, new alarm, under cabinet lighting, outdoor landscaping lighting and so much more. I highly recommend Biagiarelli Electric, especially if you need a technologically inclined electrician. He is friendly, knowledgable and reliable for installations and support :-)"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in East Lyme, CT

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.
