"I called Jones electric and asked them to come out and check some problems we were having with our electrical. He came out and I wasn't home yet but my son was there. He checked our box and told us something that was wrong with it which was something we needed to take up with the power company. But this man came out and took his time to help us and he did not even charge me one dime. And my electrical was in bad shape and we still haven't got things fixed because we have to wait on the power company. But I think this man for coming out and checking what he did and telling us what he thought was wrong and doing it out of the kindness of his heart. God will bless. Jones electrical fourth day I've done for me. I'm very appreciative of it because I'm going through stage 4 cancer taking chemo and I'm really stressed out over a lot of things and he just really blessed me in a way that took stress off of me instead of adding anything to me. I would highly recommend Jones electrical to anyone"

"Bobby has always been my go to electrician. I manage several properties and he’s been on my speed dial at least 10 years now. He’s honest and knows all the ins and outs of any electrical issue you encounter. He’s quick to return calls and get you on the schedule as well. His number is always the one I give out when anyone needs a good honest electrician. Can’t say enough about him. "

"Bob and his crew took care of some electrical problems with our first home purchase. It is a 100-year-old house and had various electrical issues due to both its age and past renovation work that was done poorly. Bobs team did an absolutely fantastic job getting everything sorted out and were open and transparent throughout the process, making it a stress-free process for us and giving me a huge dose of /feel good/ about the safety of the home we are moving into. I am a worrier and a perfectionist by nature, and this being my first home purchase turned those tendencies up to 11. I am sure they wished at times that I would just let them alone so they could get the job done, but all of my questions and concerns were met with open, honest, and kind spirited responses. So on top of the great work, they were just good people. I cannot recommend them highly enough."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Johnson City, TN

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.
