"Plesh company is extremely transparent about billing and identifying exactly what needs to be done and how much each item and labor will cost. I appreciated this, because it allowed me to budget accordingly. Most important, I asked them to divide the jobs into sections/stages along with the cost. We agreed that there were three stages (whole house rewiring, putting in GCFIs, & upgrading of panel, and installation of light fixtures, etc.). Then, when I saw that the cost was doable in stages, we agreed to do stages 1 & 2 first (everything I listed above. Lol.) and hold off on the third stage (my wish list). Thorough. Efficient. Trustworthy."

"Ken was great throughout the whole process of installing a bathroom exhaust fan. I hired him because he was very pleasant and professional on the phone, and he understood what I needed done. He worked with the schedule and short time I needed a bathroom fan installed because I had a state inspection coming up. He would answer the phone when I needed to ask him a queation, or he would call back when I left a message. It turned out the wiring from the old fan was not to code, so he figured out a way to rewire the bathroom fan without breaking open the walls. This was important to me because it was a rental unit, and I did not know what to expect. It was a great experience working with Ken, and I would recommend him for any electrical work!"

"Howie called after we requested his services for electricity out in a three rooms downstairs. He asked us to call PSEG to confirm the electricity issue was not related to a thunderstorm the night before the outage. After contacting PSEG we confirmed there was an internal circuit issue in the house. We contacted Howie again and scheduled an appointment. During the appointment he did some deep investigating in the outlets and circuit switches. He successfully identified a secondary circuit breaker box for our generator had tripped. He resolved the issue. He was very courteous and professional."

"After a few weeks of dealing with voltage drops (as indicated by flickering likes), a surge protector died and I smelled electrical burning. I panicked and shut all the circuit breakers off. John called and let me know that I didn't have to shut them all off, just the one that was failing. He braved coming out in the time of the corona virus to take a look at our electrical panel because we were panicked. My mother and I suspected we needed our electrical panel replaced, and John confirmed. He restored power to the circuit so my mom and I could be up and running."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Raritan, NJ

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.
