"They did a great job. I had an electrical panel upgraded and 2 new circuits installed. They were very friendly and even took the time to help me with an issue I was having with my bathroom lights. This took them like 5 minutes because they knew their stuff. The only problem was Consumers Energy. They kept canceling my power shut off because of storms in the area and this ended up taking an additional 6 weeks before my job was finally completed. This was no fault of M.R. Electric."

"Adam at Heilig Electric is super efficient and is knowledgeable of all the work he does. He installed outlets, a Generac generator, and upgraded the electrical box. If I had any questions, he was quick to respond and is truly a hard worker. I highly recommend Heilig Electric!"

"We needed our 63 year old house updated. All the outlets needed to be replaced. Panels moved etc. It was a big job and Justin checked everything out to make sure it was safe for us. He explained what the Code is and how we should comply. He even noticed that we didn't have enough smoke detectors and offered to install them if we needed him to. He is very conscientious and determined in his projects. He did a wonderful job for us in a timely manner. (Even dealing with scheduling Consumer Energy) We will be calling him for any of our electrical needs. Highly recommended!"

"The work was spread out over 3 distinct visits to complete all of the work.  All of the electrical rough in for wiring was done on the first two days.  The last day was a few weeks later after the drywall went up.  On the last visit all boxes, receptacles, and final tie ins to the breaker were done.  The work done was excellent and I would recommend Curt from Phase 2 for any electrical work needed around a house.

"They were so professional. Immediately contacted me and came out the next day to give a quote. Came back on date scheduled, even showed up early and worked the entire day until the project was finished. They accomplished so much, cleaned up after themselves and everything works great and looks great. Would definitely recommend this company for electrical work!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Sanford, MI

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.
