"The service provided by Shawn of Eason electric was exceptional. He worked hard to solve 2 challenging projects at my home. I appreciated that he took the time to explain what he was going to do in detail and that he always arrived when he said he would. My ceiling fan and new outdoor receptacles are wonderful upgrades! I would not hesitate to hire Shawn again!"

"Very high priced. They installed 2 electric outlets and didn't run the wire inside the wall. I expected the wire to be run inside the wall...I thought it was unprofessional"

"Mr. Olweiler was very prompt to respond ro my request. He is very personsble and easy to deal with. He doesn't mind fixing the mistakes of DIYers. He helped me upgrade an older panel to make it safer. While electrical work is always rather expensive, I feel that Mr. Olweiler is reasonable and his time is worthwhile. He also won't rush through the job and is willing to answer all of your questions."

"Duane was phenomenal. He came prepared to do a thorough estimate, asked questions to make sure nothing was forgotten or missed and took exacting measurements. He made sure I understood what he was doing during the job progress and was able to make improvement suggestions on the fly for a cleaner result when the job was completed. I will definitely hire him for future projects. His bid was fair and completed the job within budget. Additionally, he gave me pertinent advice and recommendations for future projects to make sure I wouldn't make costly or unsafe choices. It was a pleasure doing business with him."

"Excellent. Electrical work in a 120 year old house in not easy at best, its a real challenge that includes working in the old attic and basement. The fans are beautiful and both working as promised. They cleaned up after the job and worked steady the whole time they were here. Could not be more pleased and will use them again whenever I need electrical work done. Thanks!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Elizabethtown, 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.
