"Reached out to Chris with an interesting electrical situation. I wanted an expert to assess ceiling lighting in a space and I was under a time restraint to complete the work. I knew the work was going to be a challenge due to the dated wiring in the space but was not sure to what extent as visually the job looked easy. Even though Chris and his team were extremely busy, he understood the urgency and took the time to fit the job in. He arrived with 2 of his other electricians to look over the space. They had a positive upbeat disposition even though it was pouring rain outside. What seemed like an easy light replacement turned out to require more labor then anticipated. He completed the job as quickly as he could and with great expertise! Chris, along side Milan and Logan were truly amazing! They not only changed the lighting as contracted, but took the work to the highest level of service by ensuring it was completed properly. They troubleshooted difficult issues as they became evident and instead of dismissing them as out of scope, they took the time to correct them. It is hard now a days to find contractors that will go above and beyond to ensure their client is happy and Chris is that contractor! I appreciate all the time Chris, Logan and Milan took to be sure the job was not only complete but properly executed. Chris and his team are awesome!"

"I was incredibly pleased with all aspects of the work done by Kreiser electric. Chris Kreiser gave me options at several price points, but also made a recommendation to upgrade my electrical service in my beach house. His justification for the upgrade was sound, and the quote was reasonable. During the work, several issues arose as my house is quite "rustic", built before many electrical code changes. We also experienced scheduling challenges with the local power company. Through it all, Chris was calm and very communicative, and always had a fallback option that would make sure power would be restored as soon as possible. Overall I could not be more pleased by the work done by Kreiser Electric. Chris Kreiser clearly cares about the customer."

"I was quite pleased with the outcome.  The job did not start or end on schedule as the spring storms pushed other jobs out, however Mike did send one of his crew down to get started at the end of the original start week and he managed the weather effectively. We agreed at the outset that the drop dead date for completion was mid-May and that time frame was met.  He wasn't the cheapest and that isn't my main criteria for selecting a partner.
The quality of the job was very good upon completion but the real test will be 6 months to a year from now.  I believe Mike will stand behind any issues that surface as he was very proactive throughout the process.  He was very helpful in pointing out areas needing attention in another job which was being conducted and offering assistance when possible. 
With work interrupted several times by prolonged periods of rain, they made sure that the equipment was stowed or immobilized each day so that I did have an eye sore to stare at until they returned.  Communication was good throughout the process via text so I knew when the wind was going to lay down enough for them to get up on the ladders.
More importantly, Mike was positive in his approach and attitude, it was a pleasure to deal with him.  At the end of the day, the variability of the work by any of the companies would likely have been pretty close, but I enjoyed working with Mike, he made me laugh, helped me consider other options and set my mind at ease that I wouldn't be repeating this exercise in 3 years.  And if I am - then his company will be around and assist in mitigating the problem."

"service provider sent by American Home Shield was excellent. The only issue I have with home warranty services is that they do not send their repair companies out on the week-end, even in an emergency. The customer service personnel is less than enthusiastic or helpful."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Kill Devil Hills, NC

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.
