"I spent 6 months and listened to BS from 4 other electricians to get a simple service upgrade done. This guy had it done in under 2 weeks from estimate to complete. If I need other electric work done I know where I'm coming first next time! Thanks Guys!"

"Forrest was on time and very knowledgeable. He located the issue that was causing our breaker to trip and disconnected the lawn pole. He gave us several options to either repair, replace or to find the items to self fix the issue using a Solar lighting lamp top. I will use him in the future and whenever anything happens to our electrical systems!"

"This company was responsive from our first phone contact. Their electrician, Joey, came out to give us an estimate. By the care he took determining exactly how to go about this job, we felt he knew his craft. Joey came out and worked all day, even updating wiring that we were unaware was sketchy plus others that we suspected to be poorly done by a contractor. It turned out that we needed another circuit. Joey went out to get it and came back to finish the job. Joey, not only proved very competent, but he was personable and professional. I highly recommend this company. Be sure to ask for Joey. We intend to do the same should we need electrical work done in the future."

"Can't say enough about the professionalism of Leon and his crew. He gave me an estimate that was dead on what the final charges were. They were there on time, they kept the jobsite clean and the install was top notch. Even the heating and air conditioning contractor who came in the next day to replace the heating and central a/c system commented on how well the install was. I would have no reservations about recommending Leon to work on my house if the case arises."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Jonestown, 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.
