"I called NexGen Electrical on a Thursday morning to ask about removing/replacing my post light. They came out at noon and gave me a quote to replace it. Decided to replace it and was scheduled for the next week. They provided the new light, cemented it in ( even made a run to Menards to purchase a bulb) and the job was completed in about 2 hours. I feel the cost was reasonable. David was very good to work with. Will definitely hire them again for future projects."

"Zach and Luke were responsive and followed through with quality work. They made a reasonable plan for replacing a knob-and-tube circuit in our 1916 home and provided a prompt quote. Their quote was competitive with other quotes we received. They performed the work on our preferred schedule and did a great job. Zach and Luke are craftsman who I would trust with my home on future projects."

"My experience with this company has been HORRIBLE! I have a older electric clothes dryer that was displaying multiple issues, but still functional. My previous and awesome repair company was not able to service the dryer due to a move, so I called Trustworthy Appliance Service after checking Angie's List. I was first interested in a diagnosis to determine if the repair was worth it (versus replacement) and listed the numerous symptoms for the technician, including a hot-smelling motor when running. He immediately, WITHOUT LOOKING AT OR TURNING ON OR TOUCHING the dryer, made a diagnosis as a blower fan, gave me a quote for what he assured would resolve all issues, and completed the repair. Within a few days, the dryer quit working completely - it would not turn. I called the company, and the owner consented to a refund once the technician came and checked to make sure it wasn't just a "loose wire" as I would not have consented to spending more that already paid on a repair, had it been diagnosed correctly in the first place. Meanwhile I am without a dryer and must use the laundromat. Upon the second visit, the technician said it was a broken belt (totally consistent with the original hot motor symptom!!) and so I called to confirm refund needed after declining a free belt. I received no call back from the company after three days and had to call back (Geraldine originally said she would need to contact the owner the following day to pass along paper work to get final authorization from the owner for the refund and she would call back to process). The owner then tried to argue that the technician could have fixed for free the undiagnosed belt issue and acted as if he did not have the details of the case even though he had authorized the refund contingent upon a re-check by the technician (Jimmy) several days prior via Geraldine (office staff). Finally after frustration and argument, the refund was authorized and I will NEVER call this company again!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Otterbein, IN

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.
