"This company was a life saver for me! A great crew...knowledgeable and diligent..... I hired Alvis Electric to check the work of a former contractor that I fired . During their investigation the crew found that everything in the addition was hot, even the ground wires. A fire hazard due to shoddy work. The Alvis crew worked diligently to find the problems created by the former contractor and made the corrections and we passed our inspections. Great company! I will hire them again.!"

"Had Shain and Gabe install two 30amp outlets on our exterior building for our RV hookups. They got it done same day and it looks very tidy and professional. They were punctual, clean, and very friendly. Would definitely recommend and will be calling them again next time we have an electrical need."

"Great communication! Ryan showed up during the date range we had discussed prior to beginning our renovation, which is critical for other sub-contracted work to stay on schedule. He kept 9-5 hours while working in our home, which was appreciated. He called prior to coming over each morning to make sure we were ready to receive him at our home. I thought that was very courteous. He was pleasant to work with and paid attention to details. I'd highly recommend Ryan with Rhino Electric!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Missoula, MT

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.
