Sub panel installation in Rutherford
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.

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 Rutherford: 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.
How do I book an electrician in Rutherford?
Call (888) 633-7804. Tell us what is happening and we will set a time.
Do I need a permit for electrical work in Rutherford?
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.
