"Mike and his team did a great job upgrade our electrical panel from 100A to 200A. They did a great job and we appreciate their work and effort. Mike is kind, professional and always willing to help. He has answered me lots of questions and make adjustments based on my request. The process goes smoothly and inspection passed without any doubt. And their price is the best (among the 3 companies I quote)! Would highly recommended them for anyone needs a panel upgrade or electrical work."

"Hired them to install a tankless water heater, which required an electrical upgrade from 30A to 120A. They handled everything with the panel, ran the new wiring without any damage to the drywall, and kept everything clean. They also added can lights in the ceiling of one room, and installed outdoor electrical outlets. They were fast, professional, and incredibly sharp. Definitely a go-to place for all your home electrical needs."

"Superior Electric recently installed a smart panel with battery backup capabilities in my condo, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. The system works flawlessly and has already given me tremendous peace of mind. John and Sam were outstanding to work with. They brought a level of honest, integrity and commitment that truly stood out. They explained everything clearly, answered every question and made sure I understood everything. Their communication through the project was excellent. They walked me through the entire process ahead of time and set clear expectation from the day of installation. They also work on some weekends which is VERY helpful with my work schedule. This shows how dedicated they are to their customers. If you are looking for a team that delivers quality work, communicates well, and genuinely cares about doing the job right, John and Sam with Superior Electric are an excellent choice. I'm extremely happy with the results."

"We had a tight timeline to get a new circuit run for a hot tub and not only did the team from Smart Electric meet our timeline, they were fast, friendly, and professional. The work they did was outstanding, ensuring we would have room to expand both the panel and the run in the future, if needed. We will definitely use them again."

"Pretty happy with Live Wire. quoted reasonable price for installing NEMA 14-50 outlet in my garage. Got my model-3 and the outlet is working. Live Wire did quality job and some company out there wants to charge twice as much for the exact same job Live Wire did."

"I contacted Skyline Electrical Services through Home Advisor. I was surprised by Home Advisor, in the past Iâ  ve had problems with them (Home Advisor) calling me, which I didnâ  t request. This time I went right to Skyline Electrical. I stop with Nick (I believe it was Nick) on the phone and explained what we needed done. He got me a quote and I thought it was going to be far higher than that (I have talked to a couple of companies over the last few weeks.) I ended up calling Nick again when we decided to put new lights up, and the price on that was good to. Nick sounded like a man that knew his business and how to keep the prices in the ball park. Now to the good stuff. Today Skyline was scheduled to be at my house by 9:00am, and they were right on time, which was great. Ryan introduced himself; he was friendly and very polite and easy to talk to. We had had three things to get done, the first was a ceiling fan, the second was to change the ballast on our fluorescent light, the third was two new lights outside our garage door. We talked while he was removing the old fan and we shared some information about our military background. Ryan worked while we talked, and I just sensed a young man that knew what he wanted in life and was doing it. When Ryan completed the fan, he checked his work to ensure everything was correct and working correctly. It took him no time to get the replace the ballast, and low and behold the light worked. He finished that and did the outside lights in no time. I was impressed with Ryan, he is the type of worker every company dreams of. Nothing but AWESOME! Would I use Skyline Electrical Services again? Oh yes, reliable, on time and great prices."

"Mata Electrical Services installed a charging station at my home for my new EV, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Christian was professional, efficient, and provided excellent customer service from start to finish. The installation was completed within a few hours, and the charger was ready to use right away. The work passed inspection without any issues and has been performing perfectly ever since. I will definitely be hiring Mata Electrical Services for future projects."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Arlington, WA

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.
