"They showed up on a Tuesday, let me know what the problem was, fixed the problem that I had, and told me about future upgrades that I could wait on for now. They did this all in about an hour. They did a good job and had reasonable prices."

"They showed up early and went right to work. Very pleasant and professional. They installed a sub-panel and wired my Tuff Shed workshop. Willing to explain every procedure and decision. They custom fitted the underground piping to avoid my wife's plants. 100% satisfied with their work."

"I was able to make an appointment quickly. The technician was here early, was very professional, and kept me apprised of his progress throughout. He asked questions when there were decisions to be made. He explained the whole house surge protector to me, which I decided to purchase. He made sure I understood that if it were needed that it would still mean losing electricity to the house (the same as if I didn't have a protector and there was a major electrical surge) - but that large appliances that aren't currently on surge protectors would be safe. Think refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, washer, dryer, etc. All work was performed in a professional manner and he completely cleaned up after his work. Electrical work is expensive, but with On Time Electric I am confident that the work is done properly and to code."

"The workmanship is professional. He noted a problem with electricity and checked the electrical panel. He was pleasant, courteous but tracked muddy, wet shoes into home. He didn’t tell me that he needed to replace the electrical box in the ceiling until the job was completed. It was surprising since he notified me of each critical step he took. Overall the price was fair and Robert completed the job competently. I will call him again for other electrical needs."

".The electrical service in this house dated to 1946. Start the vacuum cleaner and the lights would dim, that kind of thing. George gave me a price I liked and after securing the permit from the City he gave me a date when  the upgrade would take place. I've had George over for work in the past and this time he was every bit as good as he was the first time...maybe better. Everything that could go right, did go right. The work included a new high-rise service entry as well as a new ground rod and a whole bunch of new 20 amp circuit breakers. I'm very pleased.

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Lockhart, TX

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.
