"Ray did such a great job on the electrical work that I originally contracted him for that I ended up having him do every electrical project I ever dreamed of for my home. He literally did everything from installing six ceiling fans, lights in our attic storage crawl space, recessed lighting in our garage and back covered patio and front porch, barn lights for either side of the garage, rewiring a fan with a new switch, a new recessed plug for an old fashioned school clock, and finally, a complete electrical upgrade from 100 amps to 200 amps including working with Rocky Mountain Power. Ray was always quick to respond and I felt safe and confident in his work and his efficiency. And he is interesting to talk to as well. A pleasure to work with and his pricing was more than fair. I am so grateful!"

"This master electrician showed up On time, with a skilled partner, understood immediately what I wanted and how best to do it. The measuring was expert because after they left we stared at everything and were impressed by the level hardware on the walls. Everything was even and accurately installed. If I changed my mind during the process and wanted it moved, there was complete acceptance of my thought process and it was completed quickly. The mood was positive, the work was awesome, the communication was clear and the price was fair. My list was so complicated that two other electricians no-showed me three times each trying to blow me off but not this team. They kept both appointments and stayed until it got finished. I would definitely re-hire Mr. Williams and recommend him to everyone in need of small projects or large."

"The contractor arrived promptly at a respectable hour in the morning. Cleanly extracted the old panel and service box as cleanly as the materials would allow. The Contractor also cleaned up any mess that was produced by the job. All of my expectations were met. I would hire them again. Another thing that impressed me was this contractor checked with Rocky Mountain Power first to make certain trenching was required."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Orem, UT

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.
