"Fisher Electrical Services are very unprofessional and simply does not know the profession of a licensed Electrical contractor. I hired this company to run (2) New 20 Amp Circuits following code to two new outside structures I had installed prior. During the installation process, the contractor repeatedly had to go back and had to rework incorrect installation issues throughout the job to the point they almost walked off the job and wanted me to fire them. They brought in another electrician that did not know any more about the field than they did. They eventually got the lights and outlets powered up and said all was working fine. After payment we found out that most of the 10 outlets we had installed are wired incorrectly (HOT/Neutral) reversed as well as the GFCI circuits that were supposed to be installed correctly are not wired properly and do not kill power to the outlets behind them when tripped. Also, the contractor used the incorrect conduit for the outside so that has to be corrected as well. The contractor did refund the labor costs that were paid to them after I asked them to come to fix the issues they left behind so essentially bailed on the job. The contractor also was very rude, and inconsiderate to me and my wife and was attempting to blame me as the homeowner for their mistakes when it was me paying them to do a job right."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Plaquemine, LA

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.
