Subpanel installation in Skillman

Sub panel installation in Skillman: 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 Skillman do you serve?
We also work in Blawenburg, Belle Mead and Rocky Hill and the rest of Somerset County.
Do I need a permit for electrical work in Skillman?
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.
