Sub panel installation in South Orange: 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.

Yes. We work throughout South Orange and Essex County, including ZIP code 07079.

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

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.
Linda W., Freehold

Our insurer wanted the knob and tube gone. They traced what was still live, replaced it with hardly any wall damage and wrote the letter the insurance company asked for.
