"My house is less than 5 years old and needed electrical wiring to run a mini-split AC for a 16 x 10 Shed on the opposite side of the house which required adding a distribution panel and the required electrical wiring across the attic. Brite Electric was the best and honest of them all. Pete is very knowledgeable and a total professional that explained step by step of the installation process. He was quick to respond, on time and very easy to work with. Their work was top notch and price was very reasonable. I would hire them again in the future and highly recommend them."

"Allgood is a great electric company. The gentlemen sent to work on installation and upgrading panels did a terrific job. They were professional, focused, polite, and most informative as they worked. Their pricing was exactly what I thought it should be, which was great. I have a new list of items I want them to work on. Can't wait."

"We hired Thundercolt Electric to upgrade our outdated electrical inside & outside panels, rewire old dryer power line, added outside plugs etc and Mr. Cruz pulled permits from CPS Energy & City prior to start of work. Mr Cruz and his crew were very responsible, respectful , honest and always on time. Mr. Cruz kept us informed of progress of work and answered any questions we had during project. Thundercolt Electric had the most reasonable price compared to several other quotes. We would definitely hire them for future jobs."

"Great company to work with, on time and respectful of the property. We had an electrical short in outdoor landscaping lights that kept tripping the breaker. Raul and his coworker checked it, estimated the service charge @ $485 for two hours and got right to work. Troubleshooting throughout the wiring, identified several problems and made the repairs. Highly recommended."

"Robert with all R electrical was awesome. He arrived on time and after a short discussion on my electrical issues I was having in my garage he went thru my breaker panels and was able to give me an estimate on the repairs and corrections that I needed to restore the service. Upon my onsite approval he made the repairs and corrected some wiring to prevent future failures in my system. He offers total communication with his clients and explained why I needed those repairs. I highly recommend All R Electrical to anyone checking these reviews and will definitely refer them to friends and family. I even received a follow up call a couple days later from them to check on any possible issues I might be having, all good here!"

"Isaiah was very professional. He wore a mask on his face (service during Covid-19 pandemic) and protective coverings over his shoes to prevent soiling of my floors and carpet. He took the time and assessed my electrical panel and found space within one of my boxes to upgrade wiring and even discovered that our house was previously wired for a hot tub! He installed two ceiling fans and an outlet outside for the AC so HVAC personnel could service it with ease. The pricing was fair for the work performed and he did not try to push the sale of additional/ unnecessary items. He was very quick and focused in getting the work done. I would definitely use this company again. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars."

"Two men from GoGen arrived to help me sort out the origin of half my home losing power in the ceiling lights and wall plugs between four rooms. One told me that I needed to upgrade my outdoor electric box and that it was out of code for new homes. They then came into my home to test the electric current in the plugs that didn't work--one by one (even opening my fridge to confirm it was on). One of my breakers was tripped from the winter storm and flipping the switch fixed 95% of the problem. From there, they told me to conduct a diagnoses and repair to one line of connected plugs, the cost would be $365 per set, and that I had two, but they would only charge me for one. The set fee covered up to 4 hrs of work. The repair took 25 minutes and involved snipping a burned wire and re-twisting it with one that was in good condition to restore power. I later called to ask for the 20% Angies List Membership discount, and while hesitant, they honored it. This sort of balanced things out."

"I was having issues with my microwave plug not working and I had no gfci in my kitchen. I also had an interesting "fix" done on my water heater that was recently installed. I called several electricians some wanted close to $220 just to come look at my place!! But when I called Finlee, Isaac took the time on the phone to listen to the issues I was having and he even came out that same afternoon to look at things and get me an estimate. we agreed on what to fix first and he came the next day and made my kitchen safe again with GFCI plugs, a replacement for the microwave plug, and even installed a junction box to fix the water heater wires. A few weeks later I had a dryer breaker that was sparking and he came out and replaced the breaker on that! I'm thankful I found a great small business to use for any electrical problems!! "

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in San Antonio, TX

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.
