"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"

"I hired company to replace my electrical panel, and they (Nicholas and Dakota) did a fantastic job. The work took about five hours, and they were efficient, professional, and clear in their communication the whole time. Their pricing was fair—much better than the big-company quote I received—and there were no surprises. Everything has been running smoothly since. Highly recommend for quality work and honest service."

"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."

"Worley Wiring was an amazing company to work with. From the first time I met the owner Kevin for the estimate on a whole house rewire of the 1955-era house wiring all the way through to the final punch list items, both he and his crew were awesome to work with. Their work was top notch and they took the time to do things right. They also worked with me on some custom requests to use my existing smart dimmers and switches, along with the inevitable "oh, right, can you do xyz since you're here?" for a very reasonable upcharge. They completed the work on time and budget, and payment was super easy as well with electronic billing and payment available. They also took the time to clean everything up as they went and at the completion of the work - the house was cleaner when they left then when they started, which is amazing for any major job like this! I will be 100% be hiring Worley Wiring for any electrical job I have in the future!"

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.
