"I couldn't have asked for a better experience. They were hired to replace the main electrical panel/breakers at my elderly mother's home. Roni, the electrician, was a wonderful communicator, and was very knowledgeable and thorough in completing the job and in putting her at ease. The price was very reasonable. I will be using Nasr Electric in my own home, as well as recommending them to all my friends and family in the DMV area."

"Straightforward job to install a dedicated 240V circuit for a steam humidifier. The first very positive aspect was responsiveness — Youssef provided a quick estimate over the phone based on photos. His price was very reasonable at $450, and he was able to schedule the work the same week. We expected the job might require opening the wall or removing baseboard, but Youssef skillfully snaked the wire without any damage to the wall or trim. He completed the entire job in about 30 minutes. At one point I mistakenly thought he had quoted $540. He immediately corrected me and confirmed the estimate was $450. On top of his technical skill, he is clearly honest. Highly recommended — we will absolutely call Atlas Electrical Solutions again."

"A Plus Electric stayed on top of my electric panel replacement, providing constant updates from scheduling status to project completion. They provided a fair quote and provided a letter to help my homeowner’s insurance to cover the cost. Dennis was great to work with and made sure that the panel was properly installed and working."

"The contractor sent to my house was NOT a licensed electrician. I was told a free quote was 39.99, that turned to 59.99 when I got the estimate and it was waaaaaay over priced and then wanted me to pay a fee to get a warranty for their work! I would have expected a warranty on his work should have been given to me! I needed the job done right away, he was pleasant and courteous but never again with this company."

"I’ve been a customer since 1990 seen many changes some good some bad. I had the pleasure of talking to a lady named Pat M about furnace filters she was extremely helpful and provided all the information I required. I ordered them online just as she had provided it all worked out fine. I should see them in 6 to 7 days. When I had my new system put in, I had an electrostatic filter system installed. Here’s the problem. I have to buy the filters online. F H Furr does not sell them. It seems to me that if I had it installed there, I should be able to buy the pieces I need to keep it serviced instead of going online. Like I said, they’re usually good with their Service and I like most of their technicians. They are usually very, very good. But it’s a little things like this ther just aggravate me."

"Technician came and for replacing stove cord and replacing just the outlet he charged $675. Unfortunately I didn't realize that this was overcharged. I learned after service that this should not cost more than $250-$300.Technician also didn't give me a receipt, I have been calling to speak with a manager and am told that manager will call me but they never did. What a rip off. This is last time I will hire them for sure. Be very careful if you hire them, definitely should get few quotes or look up how much it cost otherwise they will charge whatever. "

"Had an urgent need to replace my old water heater as it had leaked. Called (on a Sunday) and spoke to Nick, who was very knowledgeable and recommended the right choice of products (I needed a 75 Gallon, NGas, Tank style replacement). I was given a quote immediately, no haggles, just the BEST price upfront. Saved me hundreds of $$ over other quotes I received for the same Products. Installation was scheduled promptly for the next day and completed as promised on time by a professional, thorough and friendly team. I will go back to them for my future needs. They are efficient, professional, Exceptional Customer Service and their prices are very reasonable. I feel they can beat any estimate while offering the same service and Products. I highly recommend this certified company from Angie's list and Thank angie.com."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Gainesville, VA

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.
