Sub panel installation in Montclair: 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.

Which towns near Montclair do you serve?

We also work in Glen Ridge, Verona and Bloomfield and the rest of Essex County.

Our phone is answered 24 hours a day, every day. Call (888) 633-7804.

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

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

Eight recessed lights in a finished ceiling and not one patch needed. They laid out the spacing with me first, and the dimmer does not flicker. The kitchen looks twice the size.
