"Responded to my request over the weekend, didn’t badger my phone with calls (whole point of using an app is to … use the app, or at least communicate via text, which they did). Actually sent someone on the agreed upon day (today), let me know they were coming today, and answered me when I asked when to expect them. Did the job quickly (in fairness it was a 10 minute job). Wore a mask. Was professional."

"Needed to expand my electrical panel, add a surge protector, add a wall plug for my television, get the heated floors in my bathroom working, and add recessed lighting to my entire 1st first floor, approximately 700 square feet. Not sure how they got it all done but the work was completed in 1 day. They were professional on time and above all neat. I will definitely use Jason and his crew again."

"I could not be more pleased with DiMasi Electric. We were having an issue with some outlets in our kitchen. The DiMasi team was super responsive from our initial inquiry through completion of the job. As soon as I explained the issue, they knew how to solve it, and when they arrived exactly on time a few days later, had it fixed in an hour. They were also very upfront about pricing and came in well below the estimate they provided us. DiMasi will be our first call the next time we need electrical help!"

"Brandon responded to my call immediately. He set up a time to meet and his co-worker Will showed up promptly as scheduled.He installed a 4 prong 220 outlet. He is very honest because he saved me $100 by using the existing wire when i thought he would need to run new wire. Both Brandon and Will were very professional and took the time to explain what they were doing. I would recommend Phillips Electrical without hesitation."

Customers say: Super punctual

"We just moved to our new house not long ago and we found our electrical stuff are a mess. One room did not have ceiling lights; another one have 2 dead outlets. And there was no labels in the panel to tell us which break controls which part of the house. Laku responded to my Angie's List request very quickly and gave us a free estimate at the same day with pretty reasonable price and told us he can start work as earlier as this Saturday! On Saturday, he was arrived on time and worked our electronically issues very professionally. They added a new wire for the dead outlet and the no light room. And then he check our panel and pointed our our panel wiring issue and rewired safely them with small fee. And then he and his co-worker were going up and down server times to test all our breakers and labeled them nicely. Since our ceiling fan was not coming on time, he had to visit our house on the next following Wednesday to finish work. And it was another nice experience with him. They came on time again, knew exactly what they needed to do and installed my fan and upgraded all my 2 prong outlets to 3 prongs within 2 hours. And they cleanup house. When they left, we have a nice tidy house with all lights, ceiling fan and outlets working! I highly recommend Laku. And we will definitely call him if we have any other electrical issues."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Needham, MA

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.
