"Tolliver Electrical did a commercial job for me at Fleetpride. (a heavy duty truck parts store) The company did an excellent job in completing the electrical work before the staff reported back to work the following morning. Tolliver Electrical is the only electrical company that I call on for all my electrical needs "

"Ahmad is a talented electrician with a keen eye for safety and electrical code. He identified and fixed many “good enough” wiring from past contractors, took the time to explain the challenges, and gave me options to resolve it. I am satisfied with his work and would hire him again."

"I have been hiring Cody Malone since we purchased our house in July 2012. They have switched out outlets, installed indoor ceiling fans, installed outdoor ceiling fans, ran electrical to my outdoor water feature and switched out my light fixtures. I plan to hire them again when I add electric to my detached garage. They always do a great job and arrive when they say they will. I have never had a single issue and they have been to my house for no less than six different projects!"

"Very busy time of year for electricians, but I got a quick response to come out for a quote. After giving the okay and scheduling, electrician came out on-time, completed the wiring and checked an outlet that had given me trouble (and replaced it!). Very efficient, polite and the work was well done. I've got other electrical jobs on my wish list and J&M will be my go-to for them all."

"One of the electrical circuits at my house abruptly went dead. Microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator, and AC stopped working. Circuit breaker wouldn't go back on and felt sort of gritty. Got list of AL contractors, and Dave answered the phone right away, then listened and came out very within an hour. I had a very old box that I knew eventually would need replacing, and he gave a very reasonable quote and got me on the schedule the next day. As a bonus, he also was able to turn the circuits back on, so all were is working. So a blessing. He also informed me that it wasn't and electric panel box, it was a sub-panel that had to main breaker. A couple of hours later, Joe called and asked if it would be ok to come over early before it got hot. So came at 7:30, and when he opened up the box stated that in his 32 years of experience, it was one of the worst ones he'd ever seen. Ran into a couple of snags"

"They were hired to fix open electrical junction boxes in the attic. They covered most of the problem areas but missed a few. Also, on the corners they installed they only put one screw in each."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Glen Allen, 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.
