"It went really well. Shawn arrived right on time and solved several electric problems quickly and efficiently. He explained that our electric panel is outdated and may need replacing if we sell the house. He was able to reset one of my breakers which was tripped, and I had not been able to reset it myself. That solved a wall of outlets and an outdoor light now works!"

"Very professional and knowledgeable. Chief electrician knew exactly what he was doing and set about work in an organized manner and fixed the GFI problem I was having quickly and thoroughly. Panel is a beauty. Will use them again if needed."

"Daniel Johnson, Owner of Johnson Electrical, Inc. is a one-of-a-kind, down home extremely proficient and knowledgeable Master Electrician of over 20 years. My Husband and I cannot say enough good things about him! His overall knowledge of everything electrical and A/C from A to Z plus the latest and greatest when it comes to Smart Home technologies (right here in Highlands County, mind you!) speed and efficiency plus just a overall positive disposition have to place him in the top 10 percentile! We couldnâ t be happier with all the renovations and upgrades he performed in our home! This guy knows what heâ s doing and his prices are surprisingly affordable; not to mention he probably gets twice the amount of projects completed in half the time Iâ ve seen â the other guysâ take! That makes a substantial difference monetarily when youâ re doing home reno on a budget! Our renovation project has been an ongoing project and Daniel has been sooo patient with us (me especially) as we slowly and carefully make our selections and decisions on what weâ d like to do next, and his responses and answers to our questions are almost immediate. As of yet, he has installed our new exterior lighting, the new flush mounts in our kitchen and foyer, transitioned all of our light switches and living room fan switch to smart home technology, powered by Alexa (two of which are dimmer lights) and controllable via a set timer, using our smart phones or voice command via the Echo Show, installed a portable generator receptacle in our breaker box (a necessity during hurricane season in Fl if the large, permanent propane generators powered by an underground propane tank) or are not in your budget). He even went above and beyond and came in for a last-minute weekend call to re-size our cabinetry for the installation of our new dishwasher! We are loving all our smart home updates and new lighting so far and will most definitely choose him again when weâ re ready for our new bar lighting install and dining area lighting! 5+ stars!"

"What started out as a request to fix my own mistakes upgrading outlets turned into a much needed remediation of a long delayed problem area. Our original 1975 electrical panal (see before pic) was having a meltdown which the pros at Swift Electrical Repair were able to quickly identify, make the necessary request for permitting, did a total replacement, including the old corroding grounding setup, mapping of all of the outlets in the house and scheduling an inspection of the work by the city. All we did was help answer some of the team's questions for where we needed help. Exceeding my expectations at each stage of the project, we are looking forward to partnering more with the team at Swift to help modernize our downtown Cape Coral home to bring it up to modern code standards. This is the new standard electrical work in SWFL. Great job. (Before and After pictures shown)."

"Fantastic the technician was courteous and explained what needed to be done to get the power back on for my garage bathroom and outdoor plugs Several solutions were offered and it made a lot of sense to rework the plugs so the bathroom plugs wouldn’t be affected by the garage or outside plugs They installed some new gifs and now and don’t have to worry about if my bathroom plugs will work if it rained recently I will definitely call them again uf I have another electrical problem"

"It a long story but to make it a little shorter they came out 4 times for a problem that was not their fault. Xavier our teck from Mr. Sparkey wanted our job to be perfect. He went as far as anyone could expect and fixed the problem. I am sure they did not make money on our job. I hope this review will let everyone know that we are really happy to have found them and we would recommend Mr. Sparkey for all your electrical needs."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Lake Placid, 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.
