"To be charged $1202.68 to change and replace a 1-pole tandem breaker is totally unacceptable. I would never have this company do anything for me again. The technician was on site for less than an hour."

"Willards Electric responded to my request in record time. By the time I begin my day, they were contacting me with a quote and an explanation of costs. Alll electrical work was completed the SAME day of contact. They were thorough, patient in explaining what was happening, why it happened and the solution. I went to purchase the products that they needed to complete the job, and they were done within an hour. These Electricians are Highly competent, efficient, and thorough. They caught and corrected electrical issues that another Electrician botched, all while making us aware of a potential ant issue in the attic. They were extremely communicative of what they were doing and why and even bought Girl Scout cookies from my daughters before they left and left a cash donation. I can't recommend them highly enough. I feel so fortunate to have found them. If I am ever in need of any electrical work in the future, they will be the 1st electricians that I contact. Exceptional service!"

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