"I called Mr. Sparky because I had 2 external outlets and 1 internal outlet not working (I found out later they were on teh same circuit. After setting up an appointment, Cody O. was dispatched to my home. He introduced himself and explained he would be looking at the outlets I called about and doing an evaluation to determine what, if any, other electrical needs my home had. He looked at the outside outlets and the garage outlets (but didn't test them, which I thought was odd) and explained they were on the same circuit. He looked at the breaker panel and the outlet beneath it. He asked about the smoke detectors and other electrical appliances in my home and wrote up 3 quotes. Each quote included enrollment in their maintenance plan and a varying number of electrical upgrades. The costs started At $4000 for all the bells and whistles to $2500 for about half the bells and whistles to $835 for just the outlet upgrades and the maintenance plan. I told him I would need to discuss it with my wife because we were not planning on that large an expense at this time. He encouraged me to call him that evening to get the repair scheduled since I needed the outlets fixed quickly. He then charged me the $75 service fee for coming by. After he left I spoke to a friend who recommended a master electrician in the area who came by looked at the outlets and tested them, checked the same panel and outlet beneath it in the basement but when he looked at the outlet, he noticed the GFCI had tripped and pushed it in restoring power to the 3 outlets in question! He was in and out of my home in 15 minutes and had solved the problem whereas Cody was there for an hour and was so busy trying to upsell me, he couldn't be bothered to fix the actual issue. I spoke to a manager a few days later and expressed my displeasure and he understood my frustration and refunded my service fee. He also offered to come by himself and make the upgrades himself at a discounted rate for my inconvenience! I appreciate the attempt to make things right when service didn't meet the expectations. I may give them another shot some other time."

Electrical wiring or panel upgrades FAQs
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.
