"Electrical & Security Solutions are the best! I have needed their services more than once to replace lights, a ceiling fan and also to install a new electrical box and breaker for our garbage disposal. Tyler promptly responded every time I called and he and Casey are both friendly, efficient and skillful. Aside from the excellent service, the qualities I appreciate the most is honesty for what work needs to be done and how Tyler is also very budget consciousness."

"Scott is excellent to work with in all aspects of electrical. I am a general contractor and Moses Electric has done all my electrical for the past 12yrs. I look to no one else. From the non working outlet or switch, to service upgrades, underground work, data, fire alarm panels, low voltage, new construction, remodeling, troubleshooting, all the way to 3 phase industrial and commercial work. Scott has been along side me for all aspects of the electrical work and never skipped a beat. I have full confidence to refer Moses Electric to my own clients, friends and family. Knowing when I pass his name along it will not come back to me with a negative effect. Always happy clients every time, in addition to being clean in all aspects of presentation and workmanship. I am not biased because I am in the trades. We rely on referrals and relationships to provide our living so there is no benefit to saying what isn't true. I highly recommend Scott and Moses Electric for any of your electrical needs. He makes the process easy and seamless."

"While they did a great job job with the installation there was no instruction on the runn of the generator such as how to operate the em shut off switch. As far as as I know they didn?t test to see if the generator work properly if the power was off. Also we were told by the per who gave us the estimate that if we went with Cote Electric that we would receive 6 sealed hardwired combo smoke wired smoke and co2 detectors which we?ve heard nothing about and it been almost 3 weeks since installation"

"George was great. He was responsive, informative, fair, and even got someone else to eventually pay for the work he did! Can not beat it!The electrical panel at my house shorted out and we were without power. This is especially difficult for my family because we have two children and need electricity to get water. We called him the morning it happened, he came out that night to look at it, and by lunch, the next day we had a new panel and power was back on. George also let us know that our panel failed because of faulty workmanship on the part of the utility company and that we should approach them for reimbursement. Our homeowner insurance told us that the utility would never pay and to file a claim. Our deductible was half the total cost of the project and we did not want our rates to go up when we renew. So with George help we submitted information to the utility and requested reimbursement. In less than a week they agreed to reimburse us for the full amount of the cost to replace the panel. They even covered the permitting fee. It was a thousand times easier than I would have ever guessed.We would not even have known it was an option to the hold the utility company accountable, or what information we would need to prove our case without George help. Hopefully nothing ever goes wrong again, but if it does we will definitely hire George again."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Salem, NH

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.
