Sub panel installation in Chatham: common questions

Does a sub panel add capacity to my house?

No. It adds breaker spaces, not amps. If the service itself is too small, the fix is a service upgrade.

Can a sub panel go in a detached garage?

Yes. It needs a properly sized feeder, a disconnect and its own grounding.

How far can it be from the main panel?

As far as needed. For long runs we size the wire up to limit voltage drop.

What customers say

Our old 100 amp panel was full and warm. They upgraded us to 200 amps in one day, labeled every breaker and dealt with the utility and the inspection. Power was back before dinner.
James K., Toms River

An outlet in the kitchen was sparking. The electrician found a loose connection that fed three other outlets and redid all of them. Showed me the burnt one so I could see for myself.
Angela M., Hoboken

They put a sub panel in my detached garage with 240 volts for the compressor and welder. Trenched, wired and inspected inside a week.
