"James, the owner came out for me on a Saturday after my power was restored, but only to half of my house. Within minutes he found it was the GFI in my bathroom that would not reset causing the rest of the house not to come on. Could not be happier with the service."

We got our start in real estate, fixing restaurant equipment, lighting, and heaters for our business tenants. After four years, we started taking work as an independent general electrical contractor, and today, do a range of commercial and residential work including panel swaps, electric vehicle chargers, rooftop A/C units, etc. for single-family houses up to apartments, hotels, and strip centers. Our friendly and affordable techs are happy to install a new light over your kitchen table, but we also know our way around restaurants, daycares, and factories: three-phase wiring and motors, variable frequency drives, transformers, machine tools, and low-voltage communication and signaling (e.g. Ethernet). Prior to Shortbar, our owner worked nearly two decades developing software in Silicon Valley, and holds a master's degree in electrical engineering from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. There isn't much we can't do--we look forward to serving you at Shortbar.

"Shortbar did a tricky install of a switched connection to an existing J-box in the concrete ceiling of my condo. If youâ ve owned a high-rise concrete place before, you know that can be tricky, but Shortbar figured out how to hook my new light fixture up to an existing 3-way switch and patched the holes where they had to open up the wall."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Martinez, CA

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.
