"Ron did a great job. I asked to have a 100 AMP service upgraded to 200 AMP. Our meter then needed to go on the front of the house without looking obtrusive. The service entrance cable, new meter box, and panel box were installed very neatly and clean. Ron made a provision for supplying electric to the panel from our generator also. The whole job was completed in about five hours and at what I believe was a very reasonable cost."

"We had a great experience with Mark and his team. Mark was quick to respond to our request for a quote and came back with a reasonable quote for our 200 amp upgrade.I also came away feeling like he had a solid plan for dealing with some of the quirks of our house. I also had to reschedule this large job and Mark was able to accommodate that. Luis and Diego performed the work and they were absolutely fantastic. Friendly and professional at the same time, they performed high quality work and kept us in the loop the whole way. We also had a separate sub panel upgraded and wiring put in place for an EV charge. Everything came out working well and looking great. It was a pleasure having them take care of the project for us. I would definitely recommend Ellenwood Electric and will not hesitate to call them again for any of our future electrical needs."

"Marcus did a great job, figured out my electrical problems, put up 2 ceiling fans, added an electrical outlet in my garage. Also cleaned up everything and moved back everything he touched. He was a very pleasant person and explained everything he was doing. Wouldn't hesitate to hire him and Photon electric again. Thank you Beverly"

"Anthony was very attentive to my project on an old building. He sought out a safe and viable solution to change out an old fuse box and relocate with a new breaker box. He was quick with a response to my request, inspection and quickly gave a solution with a quote. Once I accepted, he scheduled my work right away. He was also prompt on the day of installation and did the work professionally and quickly. I recommend A & A Electric and I would even recommend Anthony to my family and friends. - Pastor Jeff"

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