"I had lots of quotes with people telling me different things about how they could install electric for a hot tub. The only one who was truly knowledgeable and would do the extra work to wire through the rafters instead of the whole line being ran outside was Squared Away Electric. They are very professional and have upfront pricing. The price was competitive, but equally important was their quick response time. They are willing to work for your business when others wouldn't get around to actually giving a quote they promised to do. They took the payment in portions as each piece was done respectively. You know by doing business that way they are trustworthy. I felt like hiring them was the easiest part of the process for getting the hot tub in. I would recommend them to everyone!"

"I was extremely impressed with Timothy. He is an excellent ambassador for Tom Drexler and the epitome of quality service. His appearance was neat and professional. When I smiled at the American flag on his sleeve, Tim took the opportunity to brag about the company hiring veterans. He then explained his background in Georgia and how pleased he is to be working for Tom Drexler. Tim assessed the problem, put the info into his iPad and presented three options for repair. His company had just upgraded their software allowing for a more streamlined operation. In friendly conversation he explained the options and even the maintenance programs now available. When Tim came back into my home with the needed parts, he placed booties over his shoes and placed a canvas cloth on my floor at the work area. I thanked him for this and he said ‘we want to be sure it is as clean or cleaner when we leave’ and he did! We chatted while he worked and he NEVER had a negative comment about his job or even the sloppy work from the previous plumber/handy man. By the time he was finished, which was quickly and efficiently, I felt like I had met the plumber of my dreams!"

"Well we were going to do a ground mount using re-purposed <br /> metal, but there was not enough of it. So Renewable Engineered Systems designed <br /> a system for the roof of the house. We Worked with Brian Brown who helped us <br /> decide what to use.   The solar panel <br /> system is very neat. Get to watch my power everyday. <br /> <br />"

"I would highly recommend Vertical Electric. Casey was very knowledgeable and friendly. He was able to diagnose the problem I had with the main circuit breaker and quickly fixed it. He also corrected an electrical problem I had with my ac unit without charging extra."

"The tech was lovely and kind. So our decision not to hire them was not due to customer service as that piece was great. They quoted us over 1000.00 to swap out 6 already wired fixtures. A job that would take about an hour. We were not looking to add new outlets or hard wire anything. Just fixture swaps for cosmetic reasons. Given the other quotes I got and what I was asking to do, their prices were more than double which to me was excessive and unacceptable. If you have a serious problem or need I'm sure they would do a great job. If you are simply looking to improve the look of your home with new fixtures you have already purchased I suggest going to a handy man not this company."

"Great replacement experience until the end. They messed up my ceiling trim and paint and didn't come back as promised. I had to call the manager to get repairs done. They also suck at follow up customer service. They didn't call to see if I was happy with my installation or to see if I wanted a service plan. Oh well. Their loss."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Smithfield, KY

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.
