I have never before seen the wires so neat and organized as I did after he was finished with my job. I will only hire PKJ for all of my future electrical needs. Thank you again for such a wonderful experience."

"Mike responded quickly to my request for a quote to install recessed lighting on the first floor of our home, and not only was his quote the most reasonable, but he was full of ideas and information. Having lived in a home with no recessed lighting, we knew absolutely nothing. Mike didn't try to oversell, asked the right questions and the end result was perfection. The two electricians he sent to perform the actual installation arrived promptly, and they were genuinely awesome guys. Anthony, the senior electrician, worked quickly guiding the far more junior electrician in training. They were a great team, and the job progressed nicely throughout the day. Mike checked in and suggested one other item to enhance the application that added a little more work, but they seemed to take it all in stride. I know, just more details you don't need, I mention this only because Mike and his team were professionals, and they were invested in my project which meant a lot to us. I would definitely recommend them to family and friends, and also have them back in the future."

"Ross was great as were the rest of his crew. I think I met almost all of them. The project included two new Leviton smart load panels and a new meter box as well as new underground service line which required working with PSEG. It was all taken care of professionally and efficiently on time and at a reasonable cost. The work was done in two stages as per my preference and budget over about 5 months. I had them come back for additional work unrelated to load panels installing outlets by 8 skylights and a new fan box. All done professionally. Will definitely use again. Low friction, cost effective, timely and high quality."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Farmingdale, NY

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.
