"Dale did an amazing job in incredibly trying circumstances. We were a few days out from a significant ice storm, and he had trouble getting to our house because of the road conditions. After an experience that would have turned many people around. He made it to the house and did a fantastic and professional job. I would nighly recommend Dale and Crest Electric!"

" Without a doubt, I have NEVER dealt with a more honest, up front and professional electrician! They stayed in constant communication, stayed within my budget, punctual and were very willing to work within my time constraints. Best of all you may ask? I had other quotes that were jaw dropping and absurd. These pros told me that the work that I needed, was not what the competition was trying to ask me to pay for. I can say without contestation, that this is the most honest electrician (any contractor for that matter) has been! KUDOS and grateful for there are still some honest people out there. If there were TEN stars, they would have earned them! To quote the late Gene Wilder in the movie-Charlie and the Chocolate Factory… “So shines a good deed, in this weary world.” "

Customers say: Super punctual

"SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM!!! They came out and replaced one motion flood light. later that night it just stayed on. Then it started flashing for the rest of the night. It was facing my neighbor and flashing in their windows I immediately let them know and they wouldn't come out to fix it. I reached out the next day and they were too busy again. Then the day they were supposed to come they "got tied up " and couldn't make it again. I already paid them so I have no recourse. Extremely bad customer service. And very bad installation. Now I have to hire another company to come fix their mistakes."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Fenwick Island, DE

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.
