"James came out to price install of a box to plug in my portable generator. After we started talking and me asking questions James was able to give me an outstanding price on a whole house Generac generator with panel upgrade and included a whole house surge protector. They ran into additional costs with running the gas line but James kept to his word and honored the original price! The crew were professional and proficient in their work! Marcie was outstanding with communication and explaining any questions I had! I would definitely recommend this company and would use J&M for any future electrical needs!"

"One of the electrical circuits at my house abruptly went dead. Microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator, and AC stopped working. Circuit breaker wouldn't go back on and felt sort of gritty. Got list of AL contractors, and Dave answered the phone right away, then listened and came out very within an hour. I had a very old box that I knew eventually would need replacing, and he gave a very reasonable quote and got me on the schedule the next day. As a bonus, he also was able to turn the circuits back on, so all were is working. So a blessing. He also informed me that it wasn't and electric panel box, it was a sub-panel that had to main breaker. A couple of hours later, Joe called and asked if it would be ok to come over early before it got hot. So came at 7:30, and when he opened up the box stated that in his 32 years of experience, it was one of the worst ones he'd ever seen. Ran into a couple of snags"

"We had to have our fuse box replaced as well as relocated. Abraham and his team were wonderful to work with. His communication was top notch through out the whole project. He explained every step and answered any of our questions we had before, during, and after. They were very professional, organized, reliable and dependable. They came and did the work seamlessly. We got numerous estimates and I am so happy I went with him. I would absolutely use them again for all of my electrical work. They were honest and reasonable. You can't really ask for much more."

"I've used Davis & Green for almost 10 years and I would never use anyone else. They are always professional, honest and do an amazing job every time. For the work I had done this time, there was no exception - Nick was my technician and he and his partner were on time, did the work efficiently and super professionally. They even provided honest advice and guidance as I prepare to put my house on the market. Every technician I have worked with over the years provides the same great experience and I will continue to recommend all my friends and family in the Richmond area to use Davis & Green for their electrical needs - no matter how big or how small."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Petersburg, VA

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.
