Customers say: Quality work

"We have been in our house 30 years and needed to do some electrical updating. We needed outdoor light fixtures replaced, light/cameras installed, a video doorbell installed and indoor dimmer switches replaced to work with LED bulbs. I called Capelle's, spoke with Keith and selected them based upon their proximity to us, their pricing and Keith's information and demeanor. I liked his attitude, helpfulness and sincerity. He was able to schedule our work promptly. When the 2 electricians arrived, they were polite, listened to all the tasks, then began work. I had apprenticed with an electrician decades ago, so I could ask reasonable questions, recognize confusion, perceive BS and identify competent workmanship. The work progressed at a nice clip, until the doorbell. We lost our wired doorbell about 15 years ago and went to a battery model. I wanted the video doorbell hardwired to avoid monthly battery charging chores, but the bell wire was dead. The concern was expressed that a cut bell wire would be problematic to locate. The transformer was the other suspect, but sheetrockers had rocked over it when remodeling. Capelle's freed it, found it was dead and replaced it. I found Capelle's Electric competent, polite and a good value. They also cleaned up after themselves (even wiped down the video doorbell lense) and gathered for me all products paperwork."

"Keith answered my initial call personally and came by within 2 hours. The entire socket (which was plastic) had to be replaced. He installed a new porcelain fixture. He was very pleasant and professional. I've given his contact info to some family members who need some electrical work. Overall, we were very pleased and will use him again for our electrical needs."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Rochester, MN

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.
