"Warnie is such a down-to-earth guy. I had a couple of other top-rated companies come give me estimates, but I immediately knew Goodside was the right way to go. I'm an advocate for DIY, but there are some things that are always best left up to the professionals. I needed an electrician to check our panel because it didn't look safe because the prior homeowners did very poor work. I wasn't moved into the house yet, so Warnie was able to go to my house and FaceTime with me to show me exactly what needed to be done. He took the time to explain why things had to be done specific ways to bring it to code. What I really appreciated is how Warnie took my concerns and found a solution for everything. I had mentioned that we planned on finishing our basement eventually, so he recommended a panel with more than enough slots to accommodate any upgrades we make to the home and for any future homeowners to come. Warnie came to visit in-person to make sure that I understood the entire process and that he could get it started as soon as I was ready. I was informed of each milestone and was always updated. I approved the work order and the permit was approved the next day that they applied for. They coordinated with the electric company and were able to start the job the day after the permit was issued! His TEAM arrived early in the morning and was done within a couple of hours. I'm going to have a re-wire completed afterwards (meaning there will be no indoor power yet), but Warnie made such a thoughtful suggestion and wired the circuit for my alarm system to the panel so my alarm could still function. The work completed is beyond professional. The work area was cleaner than when they started. I never once felt pressured by Goodside, I truly felt like I was talking to a good friend. You'd seriously be making a mistake if you didn't use Goodside."

"Brian and his crew where great to work with. He explained what they would do to correct the problems I had with my electric and the work was done in a timely manner. They even ran into a glitch installing a light switch in my basement but they went above and beyond to make it work. He also found some wiring problems and corrected those. They also clean up after the work is done. They were pleasant and even fun to deal with. I found their pricing to be very reasonable. I will definitely use them again."

"Love working with Dan, Chris, and Shawn. Have hired these guys numerous times to upgrade my main panel, install a new panel in my garage, and to install a whole slew of other lights and receptacles. I believe their pricing is fair and more importantly, their customer service and punctuality have been impeccable. I plan on using CW for all my electrical needs going forward and couldn't be happier with them."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Mckeesport, PA

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.
