"We had Liberty install a transfer switch about a month before Hurricane Sally. The switch worked perfectly and allowed us to plug our portable generator into the house. We had electricity while the generator was running and were able to run most every thing in the house including the A/C in the Florida room. Made life better. Highly recommend Liberty electric."

"How did it go?  Considering our problem began without any warning and was unlike anything I've ever encountered in my 42 years of home ownership, I needed someone who could  "hunt down" the source of my electrical problems.  This could have been a time consuming project and cost me MUCH more than what I was charged.  Turns out Mr Dozier has over forty years experience and he used it all to systemically trace down my problem  Considering the myriad of symptoms occurring, he had to sort thru them before he could determine what to check. After going thru my home's interior, he arrived at the house's outside connection - the meter box, where one of my circuit breakers was failing.  He then determined that further problems were on the Alabama Power side of the system and shortcut the interaction with Alabama Power for me by what I consider to be hours of frustrating telephone time.  He waited until the linesman from Alabama Power arrived and handled the explanation of the problem, saving me additional frustration and time. I'm not an electrician and could have never solved this problem myself.  We couldn't cook, use many of the rooms which had no electricity and in the summer heat of Mobile, we had no A/C!  If he wasn't honest, he could have taken much more time than he did to "solve" my problem and pad his billing.  He also could have left me to contact Alabama Power and leave me to deal with Alabama Power's bureaucracy. He did neither; he did his job fairly and honestly.  I cannot ask for more.  I recommend Phoenix Electrical Service and woould use them again without reservation.    L. Booker

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Jay, FL

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.
