"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!"

"Upgraded to a 200 Amp service and added a lockout switch for a generator. He did an excellent job with the work. Biggest problem was working with the town and he was always communicating the status of the problems and able to work them out. Very good customer service."

"My garage electricity was out. I called him to get an estimate. He gave me a couple of troubleshooting suggestions for free. I followed them and they worked. Now, how can you not hire him if you had work to be performed or better yet, I thought of some things to be done around the house just to hire him for his honesty. People like him are rare to come by these days."

"I have used Supreme Electric for a variety of electrical services for over 2 years â replacing outlets to support new wall A/C units, replacing a damaged outlet, replacing a light fixture, upgrading my circuit panel and most recently installing a bathroom ventilation fan another electrician said could not be done. I was also provided assistance finding a carpenter to vent the fan out of my attic and I am considering future installation of a generator. Michael is always pleasant, professional and respectful and the quality of work is excellent. He explains exactly what is needed, prices are reasonable, he communicates clearly and promptly as work is being planned and he is always on time for scheduled work. I highly recommend Supreme Electric. It is always a pleasure to work with Michael and I personally will only be using Supreme Electric for any future electrical work I need to have done. Thank you Michael!!"

"Electrical Connection installed a transfer switch for our generator last year when other companies would not even return our calls. The work was professional, friendly and efficient. This year we called to have an outlet installed on our deck and a junction box for our new motorized awning again great friendly service. WOULD NOT CALL ANY OTHER COMPANY !!!!!"

"John the owner and operator did a fantastic job. Very efficient and knowledgeable as a master electrician. Very through and thoughtful. He rewired my whole house after a flood and was willing to do a little extra for additional work I wanted done like Jacuzzi and back up generator. His prices are fair and puts the customer first. He also listened to me in a time of stress and was very encouraging. I didn't know anyone in the community and we befriend him. I would highly recommend him. My family loves him and I couldn't have chosen a better bperson for the job. We appreciate him so much. Thanks John"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Rocky Hill, 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.
