"<p>I called Sequim Valley Electric at the suggestion of a friend.  I needed to have three dimmer switches installed that I had purchased myself. While making arrangements for an appointment I was treated in a very easy and friendly manner.  I made the appointment without asking for an estimate.  I knew that electricians were expensive, but being a simple job for a professional, assumed that they could do it within an hour.  The electricians arrived precisely on time, did the job in twenty minutes and left. They were very nice and I was completely satisfied with the work they performed.  I was told that the bill would be mailed to me.  When I received the bill I was a bit dismayed to find out it was $92.00 excluding tax.  They were literally in and out in twenty minutes.  There were two of them so it was forty minutes between them, but that still seemed high.  I called for an explanation of the bill and it was explained to me that there is a basic service call charge and hourly rates are applied for jobs that take hours to perform.  During the course of our conversation I was asked if I was a senior and was told that if I was over 55 the charge was $85.00 instead of $92.00.  I understand service call charges and the reasoning behind them, but $92.00 still seemed a bit excessive, so after I got off the phone I went onto Angie?s List and looked into electricians on the site.  I found several instances where people were charged anywhere from $50.00 to $75.00 for small jobs similar to what I had done, which indicates to me that $92.00, and even $85 for the senior charge which only applies to seniors, could be on the high end of a service call charge.  I can?t say for sure whether or not it is a fair price; I honestly don?t know.  Maybe it is perfectly fair and I am simply uninformed.  What I do know is that I felt it was on the high end and have learned to never forego Angie?s list again.  In the future I will let my fellow members and the service people?s estimates enlighten as to what is fair before having any work done.  Since becoming a member I have used Angie?s List many times and this is the first (and last) time I have contacted anybody for service without checking Angie?s List.  And to emphasize how well Angie?s List has served me in the past, this is the first time I will not be able to nominate the business for the Page of Happiness.  When asked if I would use this company again the only options given are yes or no. Since I believe that I would be able to have the work done for less money I felt that I had to choose no.  A more accurate response would be that I am unsure because I would not use them again without first contacting the A rated electricians on the list for estimates. Considering everything, I would say this is a good company, but the next time I need an electrician I will do more to make sure I am doing business with an excellent company.</p> <p> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> </p> <br />"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Port Angeles, WA

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.
