"Aaron from Dedicated did great work, they removed my knob and tube wiring with only one cut to the wallboard; they did most of the work from the attic and crawl spaces. It was a huge job and they upgraded two light fixtures and installed smart lighting in several places. With the sunrise/sunset setting on my front porch, I never have to worry about turning on and off the light."

"We have hired this company many times over the last 5 years. They have done remodel work for us. Upgraded our electrical panel. They have moved exterior overhead wires that were required by code. They have ran new electrical for our updated heating and cooling system. They always do a great job and I would recommend them to any homeowner needing upgrades or service calls on their existing electrical systems."

"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."

"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."

"Needed to run 40 Amps to an outdoor heat pump. Made the appointment last minute, they showed up the day the heat pump was being put in. Figured out I could reorg my panel instead of add amps. Did the work immediately. Ran the outlet and charged me $1700 less than my other quote. I highly recommend the juice company."

"Dan and Ell Electric were a pleasure to work with! I had an emergency in my panel and called them out. They were polite, professional and treated my home and myself with the utmost respect. They pulled a permit, replaced my whole panel, properly labeled it and cleaned up their mess. They also coordinated the inspection. They were prompt, quick and professional. Would recommend them to anyone! $2500"

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.
