"Very responsive business and communicated every step of the way. From what he diagnosed I had a bad wire in the ceiling of the garage that shut my breaker off and wouldnâ t reset. I had no lights or plugs in the basement for days as I tried to figure it out myself. He came in and was easily able to diagnose, fix, and get it all back up minus the one plug that relies on the one dead wire. Iâ ll be putting that in since Iâ m taking my ceiling down anyways. He has all the experience needed and professionalism a master electrician is. Definitely will hire again and will recommend to anyone who needs an electrician."

"Mike re-wired my basement outlets at my apartment. He figured out that all of them were wired incorrectly. Not only did he restore power to my basement outlets, he prevented an electrical fire from the previous incorrect wiring. He also installed a new bathroom fan/light combo, with Bluetooth speaker capabilities and multiple led light colors. He was efficient, fairly priced and honest. Highly recommend! Thank you again Mike!"

"Excellent. Chris was very patient and thorough, he went above and beyond what I hired him for. I would hire him again in a heartbeat as well as recommend him to all my friends. I purchased a new pool pump which required a licensed electrician to place the electrical cord as well as the ground wire."

"If I could give him 20 stars, out of 5 I would!! He came within an hour of my calling him. My smoke detector had been beeping for 25 hours!!! I had put the batteries in wrong! He fixed it and checked the other one. So friendly, such a quick response - and didn’t make me feel like a total idiot. I can’t recommend him enough."

"Brett did an excellent job for us. We had the outside meter box and cable replaced. Brett gave us a great price, communicated quickly and got the job done when he said it would be done. The town just stopped by to sign off on the job and they said that the job was one of the best that he’s seen. We also had Brett put up two ceiling fans on the porch, he made sure that they were operating perfectly. Don’t hesitate to contact this company for your next electrical project"

"I highly recommend Deary Electric. After finding them through Home Advisor, I spoke on the phone with Josh just a few minutes later. They arrived when he said and called ahead 30 minutes before he arrived. Once here, Josh and his partner were able to quickly figure out what the problem was and fixed it shortly thereafter. Cost was more than fair; money well spent. Will definitely call them for future work."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Putnam, CT

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.
