"I hired them expecting a panel replacement/upgrade due to the main power shutting off. Withing a few minutes of putting the job request up I was contacted and they said they could be out within a few hours to do a free estimate. They kept in contact and let me know when they would be there. They checked out the panel and said it was in good shape. After describing the issues we had they determined it wasn't an issur with the panel like other companies had said but was just a few breakers needed to be replaced. They replaced them that day and also gave me an estimate for when I wanted to have the panel replaced which was thousands less than other electrical companies. Not only did they get the job done within a few hours of me posting the job they saved me money. If I have any electrical needs they are the ones I will be calling!"

"United Plumbing & Electric treated us like family. Mike gave us a free estimate that was very reasonable (less than I thought it would be) and then Bob and Donald set to work getting everything done in a very processional and timely manner. We are so happy with how our bathroom turned out and they fixed the broken pipe in the wall that was causing a leak. We will definitely be calling them when our next plumbing or electrical needs come up. Thank you Mike, Bob, and Ronald and the whole gang at United Plumbing & Electric!! "

"Very professional and efficient. They came and checked why the generator was not starting. They brought it back up before servicing making sure it would kick in with disconnect. I would definitely recommend them for any electrical needs."

"This company was not able to help me, but I cannot say enough about how they went above and beyond to help me find another company to help me with my electrical needs. They recommended several other companies and even directed me to electrical sites. I just couldn't believe it -- one helpful text after another until one of their recommended companies were able to help me. If I ever need any electrical work Mister Electric will be my first call. If they went this far for a customer that they couldn't help just imagine what they would do if they were to do my job. Will definitely recommend them to friends and family. M Taylor Dayton Ohio"

"Woody and his son Drake did an outstanding job. From start to finish they were prompt, courteous, friendly, and efficient. During the initial assessment they had no problem with me adding a few tasks, and the quote they gave me was very reasonable. The day of the project, they arrived on time, quickly got to work, and gave suggestions and explanations where needed. The project was completed on time and everything worked as well or better than expected. I will absolutely be going to them again for any future electrical projects and repairs."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Kettering, OH

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.
