"We hired Curtis Berard to install a new electrical panel, run electricity for a portable generator and wire our new kitchen. He was on time and charged a reasonable fee. We will definitely hire him again in the future. He was knowledgeable, honest and personable. I was so glad that we found him."

"Harrington Electric has come to my rescue personally more than once. Most recently, my hot water was on the fritz. Jay came out and got my water heater back up and running by quickly diagnosing a bad breaker and changing it out same day. When I was a property manager, Jay did a number of trouble calls and planned upgrades for me in addition to new installs. I will call him again the next time I need an electrician for sure."

"Anthony was the first from AL to return my call and was able to give me a straight quote over the phone. We set up a time for him to come see the house and then I booked the purchase on AL. He visited to see the current system, take some measurements and introduce himself.
He was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. This visit took approximately ten minutes and he was also very eager to answer electrical questions that were not related to the service he was going to perform. After the visit we scheduled the service and he explained how things would go on the day of service.
On the day of service he arrived early and again explained what would be going on, kept me informed of progress and also cut an outlet plate that I was replacing as I did not have any tools that would do an adequate job. Once the service was complete he tested each breaker and labeled the panel according to what each breaker controls.
Overall Anthony did excellent work, was very professional and had exemplary communication so we knew exactly what was going on throughout the service.

"My experience with Home Improvement Specialists has been excellent. My home needed a wide variety of repairs and upgrades, things that had been neglected in recent years due to my husband's medical issues which prevented him from completing projects he had started when he lost his vision. Unfortunately my husband passed away and I had to hire someone to finish the work he started, and to make some pretty major upgrades to my home. The first person I hired didn’t get very far before needing surgery himself, leaving him incapacitated and unable to do the work. I reached out to Home Improvement Specialists after seeing their excellent rating on Angie’s List and after meeting with, and talking to Jody and Sean extensively about my needs, I immediately had peace of mind in their ability to complete the work and in the skill level of their employees. Every employee that I’ve had the pleasure of meeting has been kind and professional, and have completed their assigned tasks to perfection. Jody and Sean have gone above and beyond for not only me, but also for my mom who recently fell off of her front steps cracking her head open on the side of her house. When I asked for an estimate to install a railing at Mom’s home, after hearing what had happened, Jody not only provided me with the estimate in a day, she also had the railing installed within two days of the accident. Every project to date has been provided at a fair cost by highly skilled employees in a professional and compassionate manner. I will definitely use this company for all of my future projects and would highly recommend them to anyone needing home repairs or home improvements. Michelle Schweitzer Springfield, MA"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Rowe, MA

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.
