"Ryan and the entire crew are terrific. We've used them twice now. I'm long overdue in posting this review. They upgraded our two electrical panels to GFCI last year, and we had them back again a month or so ago to upgrade our attic wiring and other miscellaneous upgrades. They do amazing work at terrific prices and are very efficient and professional. Everyone at ALCO is easy to talk to and happy to answer any questions. I'll be hiring them again for all our future electrical needs, and suggest you do the same!"

"We needed an electrician to repair the wiring that was vandalized by our former tenant so the electric company could hook up the meter again. David contacted us promptly and immediately made himself available to examine the issue. The next day the work was completed, and we were able to get power and proceed with our work to clean up the property. Pricing was very competitive they worked efficiently and did a great job. We would definitely call them again for any future needs."

"Highly recommend! Jason did a beautiful job with my living room remodel. Started with an 80s style ugly paneling and green carpet. Now has the farmhouse look I’ve been wanting for a few years now but was too intimidated to start myself. Very pleased with the professionalism and quality work delivered!"

"It's refreshing to see that an honest and hard-working electrician like Clinton, is still is available in Birmingham,AL. After submitting my request on Homeadvisor I received a call within 5 minutes. Clinton scheduled the appointment for the next day and took the time to explain everything that was going to be done. He also explained the pricing and gave me a general idea of what kind of price I was looking at. Tonya called the next morning to confirm my appointment. She was a very sweet and knowledgeable young lady. I had a couple of questions I had thought of over night and she was able to answer all of them for me. I thought it was great that they call to confirm and make sure that the previos scheduled time still worked best for you because the type of work I do, my schedule does change last minute often. Clinton arrived on time and worked throughout the day. He was very neat in appearance and well organized. He did anperfect job on the panel and wiring upgrade and even fixed some other problems he found while working on the rewire at no extra charge. He takes alot of pride in his work and is by far the cleanest worker i have seen. He didn't leave not one trace of anything to let you know he had been there. We had gotten a few estimates from some other local electricians about 6 months prior to getting this work done and all of the quotes were at least $300-$400 more than what Whatley Electrical charged us. We received a 10% off discount for my husband being in the marines which I loved because lots of companies dont seem ti remember our servicemen. Tonya also called a few days after work was done to make sure all was working correctly and to see if we had any problems or questions. They make you feel so comfortable with knowing if something did go wrong that they are there for anything we needed and not to hesitate to call. Overall the best experience we have had with a contractor coming in and doing work on our home. Couldn't have asked for a better experience and will recommend Whatley Electrical to all of my friends."

"Jason Hopson and Team did an exceptional job—-the best work quality I have experienced in 35 years and the most reasonable prices. He does what he says at the price he says period! He his the total skill set to build a house from the ground up. No one has skills like his. Nobody. I was having a heck of a time getting my back french doors rebuilt as a lot of the wood had rotted. These are custom doors. They could not be bought off the shelf. Nobody in Mobile AL had the carpentry skills to rebuild the french doors. Jason and team came down from Birmingham and did the job and now I get nothing but compliments on how beautiful they look. He also rebuilt our brick mailbox, the front porch columns, the fence, the front door, remodeled the kitchen and bathroom; replaced lighting, installed kitchen appliances, painted the interior and repaired the drywall. When hurricane Sally hit, he and hus team came back down from Birmingham to clear the huge fallen trees from my yard and roof, repair the roof, rebuilt the fence and gate, installed gutters and a french drain. Hopson and team did an outstanding job both times to the point he is now the Go To Man for any project I have. He is always on time, dependable, reliable, trustworthy and loaded with expertise. He is the ONLY one I trust with my projects big or small. I rate “A++”"

"My installer Samuel was top notch, very detailed, pleasant, answered all my questions. Excellent representative. The only problem I had was miscommunication on their end as I was told available payment options and Samuel was told another. Did not affect installation or quality of work at all."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Northport, AL

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.
