"These folks do not understand the Ring doorbells and how they interact with electrical circuits. We could only get the current electrical wiring inspected. We had to get folks from Bestbuy to verify our ring device needed replacement. So that was an extra expense."

"At first, Lee (an owner) was very accommodating and worked well with us on estimates, scheduling, troubleshooting and  payment  for a nearly $5,000 cost of work on overlapping projects. For the most part, service crews were punctual and professional, though we had to jump in and get Lee to change some of their plans to put conduits in awkward places, attach other conduits to walls instead of fascia outdoors, etc. We realized the house is old and the projects at times were challenging. Certain complications arose that involved extra time or parts, and we appreciated Lee's willingness to stick with his commitments. <br /> Some months ago, after repeated tripping of a kitchen circuit-breaker, Lee came out once and essentially told us he couldn't figure out why this intermittent problem was continuing after the upgrades (we did not replace all the wiring in the attic, as that would have been cost-prohibitive). At that time he said that, due to overloading, a new circuit to the kitchen might be needed, which of course we knew we would have to pay additional for. <br /> Some time went by and the kitchen breaker started tripping again, though I had juggled the electric load and put some appliances on another circuit. I tried to call Lee, left a message and he did not respond. <br /> A few months went by with more or less normal service, and then the problem started to happen again, so I tried to call again. Speaking with the receptionist, I left two more messages, with increasing urgency. She told me Lee had been very busy but she would make sure he got word I was trying to reach him. That was several weeks ago. He never called me back. <br /> Even if he felt he couldn't help us, he should have had the courtesy to return my calls. After spending $5,000 for services from LC Electric, I couldn't even get a response to a problem that could conceivably have been  a result of improper work by his company, or else might have resulted in a new work order. Either way, this is not only unprofessional but lacking in all business etiquette. I can't believe the man was simply too busy. To say we are disappointed would be a tremendous understatement. <br />"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Radium Springs, NM

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.
