"The staff at Brennan Electric could not have been more accommodating; all were highly professional, prompt and well trained. Thanks to Eric and Zach for their upbeat attitude, wonderful attention to detail and suburb workmanship. We were pretty sure we were going to have to remove drywall on the inside to locate and replace the severed wire. Eric and Zac were able to fish wires down from the attic through the walls and tap into a power source which enabled them to route a wire around the severed wire. We highly recommend Brennan Electric! Thanks guys, Don and Chris Clark"

"Very efficient and thorough company. Our new home came with a Home Warranty Policy. Shortly after closing we started to have electrical issues. The insurance company sent out 1st Choice Electrical who brought our 1977 home up to code with a new electrical panel and GFI outlets. We also had them install a new outlet for a over the range microwave. If the need arises we will definitely use them again."

"Matt and John are the name, face and brains behind this business. Very responsive. Prompt initial assessment and quote. Rapid turn around to do the job after supplies available. They replaced a breaker disconnect box to a spa as the one we had was not adequate, needed a 50 AMP and had to re-wire the wiring from box to spa, They are very knowledgeable regarding code requirements, safety and overall knowledge is exceptional. I was impressed with their service. I highly recommend them as an expert for electrical needs, big or small."

"From estimate, to selection of The Juice Company, to scheduling, they made the entire process painless. Had 2 15 amp "peanut" breakers installed to replace an existing breaker and establish a new circuit, and 2 new outlets installed. We also had low voltage network cable roughed in so I could terminate it later, and everything was done not only properly, but quickly. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing electrical work done in the South Sound region."

"I actually had this company do several projects for me. New electrical to a garage with lights and outlet install. Rewire of a barn. Upgrade outlets and switches to my home and retrofitting led lights into a commercial building. Through it all Troy was a good communicator. The team that worked on the projects were polite and easy to discuss the projects with."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Federal Way, WA

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.
