Basement sub panel near New Providence and Chatham
Summit is in Union County, and our crews are in the area most days. If you are just outside town, we also work in New Providence, Chatham, Springfield and Short Hills. Here we cover ZIP code 07901.
Older Union County buildings hide a lot behind the plaster. Around Summit we regularly open a box and find ungrounded two-wire cable, a fuse panel still feeding part of the house, or circuits added by three different owners. None of that is unusual in North Jersey. The job is to trace it properly, fix what is unsafe first, and leave you with a panel schedule that finally matches the house.

Sub panel installation in Summit: 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.

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