"Sarge has been great to work with. I originally hired him to replace an old Pushmatic panel so we could upgrade the kitchen electrical. Once my team started the kitchen remodel, they uncovered some issues with the old wiring. Even though it was outside his original scope, Sarge came back out, tracked everything down, and made sure it was safe and up to code. He goes above and beyond, and I’ll continue using him anytime the need arises. Highly recommend. "

"Excellent experience from start to finish. He replaced two ceiling fans in separate bedrooms, and the work looks phenomenal. He arrived early, which was incredibly helpful with my work schedule, was professional and personable throughout, and completed the job much faster than I expected without any issues at all. Everything was installed flawlessly, cleanly, and with obvious attention to detail. Very polite, very professional, and genuinely easy to work with. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for quality electrical work, and I will definitely hire him again."

"This is the 2nd time I have used Safe Electric and both times I have used them have been great experiences. I had 3 new fixtures installed plus a new circuit run to be used for a new freezer in our finished basement. Jon & Eric were the two electricians that were sent to my home. They worked efficiently and quickly, but did outstanding work. Even though our basement had a finished ceiling, they were able to run a wire through with minimal disruption to the finished ceiling. I had concerns about the alignment of the lights on the fixture (this was a manufacturing defect and nothing to do with their installation) and they obliged me by improving the light alignment. They also cleaned up after they were completed and disposed of the old light fixtures and packaging materials for the new fixtures. Their work was excellent. The only negative aspect was the price which seemed very high to me. The cost for installation of the 3 light fixtures was $462 and the new circuit was $903."

"John and his crew is amazing. We have a home with outdated electrical wiring and needs alot of updating to complete our renovation project. We Power Electric was on time, highly knowledgeable in what we wanted, and fairly priced. If I had questions, the team was easily available for a phone call or text. As a Realtor, I have very high expectations out of contractors and professionals for my home, and will always recommend We Power Electric to my clients. I highly recommend giving John Lake a call!"

"I had an estimate done on some electric work, and James Pinson did an excellent job. He was very thorough, clear with his suggestions, and the pricing was very competitive. Based on James's visit and the estimate he provided, I chose Mr. Electric to complete the work."

"The Safe Electric guys are great. Craig took the time to explain what needed to be done and why and how they would do it. Although they had to diagnose and repair unexpected wiring issues, they did not charge me any more than the original estimate, and they worked over the weekend to finish the job on time."

"We had a panel swap out. Bryan was quick to respond to my inquiry. He had to involve AEP and the city inspector on the day of the install. They did a great job and were very quick! I highly recommend anyone in need of electrical work to contact Steller Electric."

"I had 2 outdoor outlets installed. Great communication, arrived on time every time he came out, brought up concern items he found and was willing to explains and show me what he was talking about. I definitely recommend Higgins Limited. He quoted another electrical project I have on my to-do list while he was here as well. We will definitely use him for that and other electrical projects we have come up in the future!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Powell, OH

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.
