"I recently bought a house that had knob and tube wiring throughout. Rittner's Electric did the re-wiring. I highly recommend Dave Rittner and Rittner's Electric for your electric contractor and I would/will be using for my future electric work. A total house rewiring is not a one day job...it's a multiple week job. From the initial estimate thru all the work and up to the final inspection Dave was the total professional. Dave's pricing and estimates were fair and spot on, as was the amount of time needed to finish the project. I work out of my house and Dave's communication as to what he was planning on working for each particular day made it easy to plan out what/where I could work. Bottom line, if you need an electrician might as well get a top notch, professional and experienced one so, just call Dave Rittner."

"I called Cusatis Electric late one afternoon while I was on the road traveling for work. My wife had called me and said the electric had gone out at our condo. Dave was on his way home but turned around and arrived well before I got home. He did not want my wife to have to sit alone in the dark . By the time I arrived Dave had started checking all the circuits both visually and with a meter. He was there until well after dark until he was able to fix the problem. He put everything back and then went and checked the breaker panel just to make sure it was safe. He suggested I add three 20 amp breaker, and stopped by a few weeks later and installed them. During this whole process Dave was courteous and informative. You could not ask for a nicer guy. Dave Cusatis knew exactly what to do. I will not use anyone else to do my electrical work. His service fee was more than fair for the amount of time and work he did."

"Excellent. Electrical work in a 120 year old house in not easy at best, its a real challenge that includes working in the old attic and basement. The fans are beautiful and both working as promised. They cleaned up after the job and worked steady the whole time they were here. Could not be more pleased and will use them again whenever I need electrical work done. Thanks!"

"Very high priced. They installed 2 electric outlets and didn't run the wire inside the wall. I expected the wire to be run inside the wall...I thought it was unprofessional"

"Very responsive and came the same day to look at our electric panels. We felt we received an honest assessment that we can trust. It turned out that we didn't need immediate repairs, but we will definitely use them in the future."

"Justin has an EPIC heart! Great guy!! And his attention to detail is perfect!!! Iâ m an auto technician and my forte is electrical. I came inside and saw my new panel and how all the wires where laid out and ran in new panel and I immediately knew Justin is gonna be the ONLY guy to do electrical work in my home!!!! I seriously canâ t say enough about him!! Lastly I will say that I reached out to him to get a second bid because the company Mr. Sparky tried to sell me a new panel install for 8,600$ and said I could pay 80$ a month. I was disgusted with mr. Sparksâ s price. Justin quoted me a quarter of that price!!! and added a surge protector!! Justin is out to help us and cares about his work and helping us hard working people. Alright I think I Raved enough about Justinâ ¦. Lol. Just make sure you use him for your electrical home needsð ªð"

"Danny called the day before and that was a Sunday! Thank goodness because the issue happened on a Saturday. He got to our place on Monday and the problem was fixed in under 2 hours. It was a very complex electrical issue. I know electric well enough to install lighting and 3 way switches and I've done much of my own work. I could not even begin to track down the issue but Danny had it figured out quickly. The price was so good I threw in a $25 tip because I know Home Advisor charges per lead. He takes credit or debit cards and even PayPal. I will not look to anyone else for any electrical issues I have."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Harrisburg, PA

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.
