"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)."

"I was in a time crunch due to selling my house and repeat inspection. I had called at least ten electricians/contractors and this company is the ONLY company that followed through. Martin had arrived and promptly started working and then his partner even came to finish our house on the weekend. I cannot recommend this company enough. Great service and price, so thankful for them."

"Very pleased with quality, promptness following schedule, and care taken not to damage hosta plants in the construction area to install 18 kw whole home generator and transfer switch. The project went smoothly in spite of a one day rain delay. The generator and transfer switch were tested with a simulated loss of utility power and everything worked as expected - generator started and transfer switch allowed the generator to power the house automatically. When utility power was reenabled the transfer switch moved back to utility power position and the generator shut down. The price was fair and would certainly have no reservations to recommend them for any electrical work and would use them again."

"I enjoyed the Electrican Yuri K. He explained every step of the type of work that I would need to upgrade my electrical panel and that if needed I could get the work financed it’s quite a bit, but I know some upgrades are definitely needed in a 60-year-old house ABC has always been very polite very fast to respond to whatever my problems have been here at my home. I’ll recommend this company to anyone."

"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."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Waukesha, 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.
