Sub Panel Installation in Montague, NJ

Sub panel installation in Montague

Much of Sussex County is wooded, and overhead lines run a long way through trees. When a storm comes through, power can stay out for a while. That is why so many of our calls around Montague are for standby generators, transfer switches, surge protection and well-pump circuits, along with the usual repairs.

Sub panel installation in Montague: 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.

Do I need a permit for electrical work in Montague?

New circuits, panel changes and service work generally need a permit from the local construction office. Simple like-for-like replacements usually do not. We tell you when your job needs one.

Which towns near Montague do you serve?

We also work in Layton, Branchville and Sussex and the rest of Sussex County.

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

Half the house went dark on a Sunday night. They picked up on the second ring, told me which breaker to switch off and had someone here that evening. It was a burnt connection in the panel, fixed on the spot.
Maria D., Newark

They rewired our restaurant kitchen overnight so we did not lose a single service. Every circuit is labeled now and the breakers have stopped tripping on Friday nights.
