He only had to replace one and offered to put up the new fixtures. Then I asked about the Generac generators. He answered what he could. I'll be contacting them in the future for that.

"I am very happy with the service provided by Hometown Electrical Doctor. I was seeking to have three new outlets installed on the second floor of our home as well as a new ceiling fan downstairs. There were two things that separated this company from the others I received quotes: 1) Matt from Hometown Electrical Doctor was the ONLY person to go into the attic to see where wires could be run for the new outlets upstairs. 2) When I asked about pulling a permit for the work he said he would do just that. I had two places tell me it was not necessary and one responded with, "If you want me (to)." These two things, to me, say a lot about Hometown Electrical Doctor. Matt showed up with another person the day of the install. An old ceiling fan was removed and a new one properly installed. Three new electrical outlets were added upstairs. I need to mention that another one was added via conduit to replace an existing outlet. The conduit was run in a bedroom and looks great! During the install another technician showed up to assist Matt and the other employee. Everyone took care to not track mud or dirt in the house. The people were friendly and answered any questions I had. The work passed inspection by the city. When it comes to work of this nature I think of the following quote that is attributed to Ben Franklin: "The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten." I mention this because getting good, reliable service is not always inexpensive. Yes, cost is relative to each person. It's important to remember that you're paying a person or company for their expertise, time, equipment, insurance, materials, etc. I sought out an outfit that was licensed by the state of Ohio and insured. I don't have to worry about whether the job was done right or not."

"The contractor was excellent. We signed the contract on September 11, 2015 and the system was fully operational on November 20, 2015.  My house is all electric,( heat pump, well pump, the works ).  Over the winter our highest bill was $ 220.00. Over the summer most bills were about $9.00. One month, AEP actually owed us $15.00.  Given the size of our house (1400 sq. ft.) and our usage, we expect to reach break even in 4.5 years.  Given that the panels are good for 25 years, I'll realize a profit for 20.5 years. This means panels are actually going to be earning money for me? Getting solar panels is a no brainer.


I whole heartedly recommend RES."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Sandusky, OH

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.
