"Called in Current Electric for an emergency call as we had power out in one room, but no sign of a thrown breaker in the panel. Seemed to be some discrepancy with how the emergency call was dispatched; we called Friday and were told we needed to call later to reach the tech on-call. No, we are calling now for that. No call back on Friday evening, but Saturday we received a call from the on-call electrician asking if we still needed service -- yep, so he came out the same day. Once he was on site, he quickly diagnosed the issue (loose wire connecting to neutral bar causing arcing) and fixed it up quickly. No issues with the quality of service that Circuit provided once we had a tech on-site. Cost listed below takes into consideration the fact it was charged as emergency service, so does not truly reflect cost of parts/labor (which would have been lower during a normal priority call)."

"As a result of a selling inspection there was various issues with several outlets in my home. Also an issue with the wiring on a ceiling fan. My prior electrician let me down saying they were not available even after years of using them, but CK Electric jumped right in to help me as a new customer. CK Electric was excellent throughout the process. The technician that came out was professional, did a great job, and I could tell took pride in his work. I would highly recommend CK Electric for your electrical needs. Based on my experience they will not let you down."

Customers say: Quality work

"Tim was highly professional and punctual in fact they showed up an hour early. I wasn’t able to be home while Tim was performing the work. But he kept me in the loop the entire time. He advices a better alternative to solve my electrical outlet needs. Tim was very responsive with addressing all of the questions I asked via text leading up to the install day. Over the last couple of years I’ve had electrical work done by three other electricians two of which were good. Overall the level of service Tim provided was above and beyond."

"This is the first time I used Mr. Sparky, and they will definitely be my new go to electricians! I love that they are a small locally owned business! I called about a small non-urgent project, and they were able to come the same day, despite being backed up due to many local flooding issues. Kasey was extremely friendly and helpful on the phone and communication was excellent from start to finish. James showed up on time and was very sweet, yet professional, and my cats even loved him :) He was respectful of me and my property, and took care of my issue in no time. The price was very reasonable! I will definitely call them again, and would highly recommend!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Sussex, WI

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.
