"The contractor and his assistants were extremely polite, professional and thorough. The landscape rear lighting was problematic to determine the cause. They had to return several times. Each time they worked to identify the problem and after numerous options, the problem was finally corrected. At no time did I feel they were getting irritated with me or the lighting problem. Scott was patient and responded to each call back. Finally, John, the owner, came out with Scott. Everything had been done, correctly by Scott and his assistant. We just finally concluded that a higher voltage transformer was needed. When installed, all systems have been fine since. John actually called back a couple of days later to confirm my satisfaction. We are planning to have some interior electrical work done and will definitely use them again. We will also refer them to friends."

"Jason Carroll first provided electrician services November 2012-January 2013.  He installed new circuits as part of a major house remodeling project.  Everything was done in a professional manner and with careful attention to requirements.
Later in 2014 Jason installed a new 240 volt circuit for a large 500 gallon spa.  The wiring requirements were complex, given the electronic controls on the spa.
Jason provides electrical services at a competitive price and in a professional manner.
He carefully cleans up after his work, whereas most electricians like to leave stripped wire, drywall dust, etc. for the homeowner to clean.
I will definitely use Jason again in the future.

"Small project but they were the first ones to reach out and respond with what I felt was a reasonable quote. The technicians showed up. The only downside and it’s nothing I was told I would receive a text or a phone call before they showed up and I did not. They just came. They still get five stars."

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

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.
