"Georgia Electrical Techs was efficient and respectful. Adam helped us find a creative solution to run electric into our backyard for a hot tub while also planning for future electrical needs. The staff offered to wear masks while in our home even though my partner and I weren't even in the same space as them while they were working."

"Hi-Five Electric was a pleasure to work with. They wired my entire basement. They put outlets and installed light fixtures through. The whole crew was professional. Arrived timely each day and cleaned up afterwards when done. Will surely recommend them for any electrical needs."

"Keep Smiling sent me Roy Wint and I'm very glad they did. Roy installed a replacement ceiling fan as well as four recessed lights. The result of the project is a much better lit and livable living room. I want to extend special kudos to Roy. He was very professional, polite, and friendly. A joy to have working on my home. He went out of his way to avoid creating any holes in the ceiling other than those housing the lighting fixtures. And he also did a safety inspection of my home's fuse box. I can't say enough good about this young man. I'll definitely be calling him the next time I need electrical work done in my home."

"Zack added a circuit to my panel box an ran two more outlets to my shop area. I was there before time to begin his work an was very fast. He did an excellent job and his price was below his quoted price. I was very pleased with his friendliness and work as well as the way he explained things. I will be hiring him again to do more work later."

"We moved into a new (to us) house. After a few months, both the indoor panel and the main disconnect panel blew and scorched themselves. We were powerless. Trey Cannon was easy to communicate with. He was happy to respond to text messages with photos to help diagnose things and set up the supplies they'd need as soon as possible. Trace and Ryan were out the next day to help install the new panels and bring the house up to code so it could immediately pass inspection and let us bring electricity back into the house. I couldn't be happier with Cannon Electric. The experience has me looking around my house for other electrical work that I can hire them for. Long story short: Good work by good people at a good price."

"He arrived on time and explained there would be some Sheetrock damage since he was going to have to run the wires through the ceiling which was to be expected. He did a fine job doing the installation and finished the job within the two hour period (the amount of time I had purchased). The price was right but I felt a bit like I got what I paid for. I had two main problems with the service: The first was when I asked if he could do some other work since he finished the job in less than the two hour allotted period, he said no. The second, and bigger issue I had was that he did not clean up after himself! Even with time to spare and knowing I was caring for a newborn and therefore had my hands full he didn't even discard the extra pieces of wire, let along clean up any of the Sheetrock dust that landed in the drop cloths and on the floor. I had two people over to my home that day who both independently commented that it looked like the contractor was mid-project. Both we're as shocked as I was that he left the project in that type of "finished" state. I certainly didn't expect he would dust and mop my house, but I don't think it was unreasonable to think he would have offered to discard the large pieces of trash and/or empty the captured dust into a trash can (which was next to his truck in the driveway). In fact, when I asked him what the best way was to clean it all up he said, "I don't have anywhere to put it." And left it at that. I think how a job is finished is as important as how it begins and although he did a fine job on the actual installation with minimal damage, I don't think I'll be using this company again knowing I'll be responsible for taking care of the aftermath.

"Perfect!!! They removed an old satellite dish, all of the wiring, and went over and above and removed old landline and cable wiring. They also patched the roof where the satellite was located."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Watkinsville, GA

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.
