Subpanel installation in Metuchen
We size the sub panel and its feeder from the loads it will serve, confirm the main panel can supply it, and run the feeder by the cleanest route. Neutrals and grounds are kept separate at the sub panel, and detached buildings get their own grounding electrodes.
We also get calls from Metuchen for garage sub panel, sub panel installation and basement sub panel. If you are not sure which one you need, describe the problem and we will tell you.

Sub panel installation in Metuchen: 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.
