Sub panel installation in West Milford: 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 West Milford?
