Garage sub panel in Plainfield

For an electrician that usually means 60 or 100 amp service, a mix of old cloth-covered cable and newer wire, and panels that were never meant to carry central air, an induction range and a car charger at the same time.

Sub panel installation in Plainfield: 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.
