"Swift services rocks! From the gals in the office to the top notch techs and I?m not surprised because the performance in charge is a man of integrity . Integrity starts at the helm! Chris Thompson went beyond his call of duty. My tenant had no heat during a cold spell and the part wouldn?t be in until the next day. Chris T went back and brought a portable heater so the bedroom was warmer for the tenant! May God bless Chris T , his family and the entire Swift family abundantly! They have installed a new heat pump , HWH, in the past plus repairs and being a member gives you tremendous value. They are all extremely professional , and truly good folks.They keep in touch with you every step of the way. I am blessed from afar that God guided me to a company of integrity through Brown and Reeves HVAC who I had for a long time until they went out of business. They were fabulous as well and referred me to Swift . Swift Services are your GO TO People!! They do plumbing and electrical as well!!"

"I cannot express the appreciation my wife and I have in having Chris as today's tech. He is the most personable, responsible and tech savvy man we have ever worked with. Before leaving, my wife expressed to him how for the last 4 yrs. our master bedroom was excessively hot. He took the time to get reading from each vent to find that they were reading 115 degrees. Evidently a real problem. He went back into the attic to find that there was a major breach in the AC Duct leading to the bedroom. No one but Chris took the time to see where the problem was. In fact, one tech from Swift 3 years ago told us to add a return to the bedroom, which would have cost over $500 and not solved the problem. From now on, Chris will be the only man we will want to service our unit. If he leaves Swift, we leave with him."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Myrtle Beach, SC

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.
