"Bought an older house without any grounds, no way to run new wiring bc I have no attic and on a slab. Guy was able to ground the entire house by grounding the electrical box. It was quick, pain free and so smooth! I love these guys!"

"Bo did an excellent upgrading my panel in order to install a Generac whole home generator - which he also installed. I am very happy with the work he did and the fair price. Bo actually went above the "call of duty" on several issues. I would definitely recommend him."

"O.G. Electric is worthy of your trust. Jason is a no-nonsense guy who works hard for customer satisfaction. I hired him to do some troubleshooting and to install dedicated switched circuit for a new garbage disposal installation. I felt the service was well-worth the price. I plan to have Jason's shop come back to wire a new shop building and to install some security lights as well. I know I'll get another great job."

"I called for an estimate for a new light fixture. And a added circuit breaker for my garage I found out I was already overloaded. That was why the breakers kept going off. Drake showed me a way to upgrade and add all that I wanted and now have room for extra stuff. He showed me all that was wrong and the reason why he could not just add to the problem that I had. The new panel is really good looking everything neat and not crossing everywhere"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Picayune, MS

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.
