Sub panel installation in West 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.
Do you cover all of West Orange?
Yes. We work throughout West Orange and Essex County, including ZIP code 07052, from Llewellyn Park to Gregory.
Do I need a permit for electrical work in West Orange?
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.
