"Amp Electric & Power were great!! We had a bunch of things that needed to be done including moving the riser for the incoming power line, replacing the old 100amp electric panel with a 200amp panel (line to the house was already 200amp-capable), installing new power outlets and a fan box on our deck, and pulling new wire in rooms to support a dual switch for separate light/fan functionality from the switch. They were very efficient, friendly, listened, provided suggestions, and got the job done right. I will absolutely be using Amp Electric & Power again when I need it!!!"

"David was EXCELLENT! When I put in my request he called within minutes. He explained his availability and we scheduled an appointment for the next day. David called when he was on his way and arrived at the time he said he would. I had some recessed LED lights in my basement that stopped working and David assessed the problem quickly and rectified the problem. He also installed some new dimmer switches for me. He was in and out in 1 hour. This was a small job and I was worried I wouldn't be able to get anyone to come out, but David was eager and prompt. I would HIGHLY recommend David Roesner. "

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in North Chicago, IL

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.
