"I highly recommend CT Smith Electrical LLC , 410-984-8693, because of the fantastic job they did in installing a ceiling fan, including the wiring and switches. Also, I had recessed lighting put in my hallway. The gentlemen showed up on time and were very friendly and professional."

"I had issues with 2 lights and circuit breaker in my home and JA Electrical were a godsend. I heard back from them within minutes of placing online quotes in my area. I was able to get a tech, Antonio, out to my home the same day. He worked ho*** ** getting my issue resolved and he succeeded. He's very professional, timely, and I would highly recommend him and the company to anyone having issues."

"The work went well as it was a very simple swap of light fixtures with no specialized work; however, the charge was $900. An additional $200 was charged to investigate dual switching. A 2 minute look at the switch determined that existing wiring was not in place. The net result is that I paid the electrician $275/hour for labor. I provided all materials. Shame on me for not getting competing estimates. I've since gotten estimates to replace the same light: one was $300 and the other $425. I contacted the service manager, but was not successful in getting a partial refund or any other remedy. Clinton Electric considers their pricing strategy to be fair. I disagree. My advice is to get competing quotes ALWAYS! Otherwise, you can expect to pay excessive labor rates with Clinton Electric."

"The technician who came to my house was friendly, but his <br /> work was adequate at best. He left debris around the areas where he worked and <br /> claimed to be unable to install a bathroom vent fan (something the next company <br /> I called did easily), but he did install the floodlights and porch light. <br /> However, he hung the porch light too low (it no longer <br /> cleared the screen door when opened) and damaged part of the porch ceiling. He <br /> didn?t report the damage to us, so I discovered it later. <br /> I contacted the company and the manager first tried to tell <br /> me that the tech hung the light at the same height as the old one. The light is <br /> on a chain and the height is easily adjustable; the tech left the screen door <br /> open to avoid hitting the light, again leaving an issue to be discovered after <br /> he was gone. He knew it was too low, he just didn?t bother to adjust the <br /> length. <br /> More troublesome than that, the manager offered to, at most, <br /> send someone out to glue back the layers of plywood that the tech had torn out <br /> in mounting the new light, making a point to tell me ?we don?t do any patching <br /> or painting.? Only when I said that his proposed solution was inadequate did he <br /> agree to come out and look at it. After he saw it, he agreed to have someone come <br /> to patch and paint it (something that two days before he told me was just not <br /> possible). <br /> Now here we are nearly two months later and the repair is <br /> still not complete. The initial coat of patch compound is there, but the <br /> sanding and painting remains to be done. Nor have I had any contact from the company <br /> to explain the delay, let alone apologize. Granted the weather has been bad for <br /> some of that time, but nowhere near all of it. <br /> A business that cares about the quality of its work will <br /> rush to put right any damage they inadvertently cause, and offer a sincere <br /> apology along with the needed remediation. Kolb has shown me nothing but <br /> indifference and ? grudgingly and only when pushed ? a minimal effort to <br /> provide an easy repair. <br /> <br /> UPDATE: On the day this review posted, the handyman returned to finish the repairs. He completed them quite well, leaving the porch ceiling even better than it had been. He also explained the personal circumstances that had delayed him. While I still would have liked an email or phone call to explain the delay (it has the effect of letting the customer know you haven't forgotten), I am satisfied with the final outcome."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Dundalk, MD

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.
