"Adam is the kind of service technician you want in your house. I'm the kind of customer who wants to understand what's going on, why something broke, how I can prevent it, what are the alternatives, etc. He walked me through everything, explaining what he was doing as he was doing it, and stopping periodically to dive deeper into the details as I had questions. My AC needed a charge of coolant, but the air handler in the attic was also in a deteriorated state, with rust buildup and mold present. Adam showed me everything he was seeing and explained its significance. He also explained that our system is using a type of coolant (R-22) that is being phased out and that will become increasingly difficult to find. We got the AC working again for now, but it sounds like we need to replace our system. I will definitely be reaching out to Cotti-Johnson about that, and I hope the installers I get are as meticulous and knowledgeable as Adam!"

"I hired Isaiah for the electrical work during my home remodel, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the results. From start to finish, he demonstrated exceptional professionalism and attention to detail. During our initial walkthrough, he carefully reviewed the entire scope of work to ensure everything aligned with my vision and expectations. Isaiah is incredibly knowledgeable and introduced me to modern products and lighting options I didn’t even know existed. Once the project was complete, he took the time to walk me through all the new switches, fixtures, and lighting features, making sure I understood how everything functioned — which I greatly appreciated. He completely transformed the lighting in my home, upgrading it to a clean, modern, and polished look. The project was completed on time and at a very fair price. It’s clear that Isaiah takes tremendous pride in his work — he’s a true perfectionist and an expert in his field. I highly recommend him for high-quality work!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Portsmouth, RI

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.
