Main Panel Upgrades
Subpanel Installation
A subpanel distributes power to a garage, workshop, ADU, or addition from your main panel. We size the feeder and subpanel from a load calculation so you get the circuits you need without overloading your service.
- ADU and garage conversion subpanels
- Detached garage and workshop power
- Kitchen and addition remodels
- Backup-load subpanels for battery systems
- Adding breaker space to a full main panel
What goes into a code-compliant subpanel
- Feeder sized for the calculated load and distance (voltage drop)
- Separated neutral and ground bars at the subpanel
- Grounding electrode for detached structures
- Main disconnect where required
- AFCI/GFCI breakers where required for the served areas
Questions
FAQ
Does a subpanel add capacity to my home?
No. A subpanel adds breaker space and distributes power, but total capacity is still limited by your main service. If the load calculation exceeds your service, a main panel upgrade is needed.
How far can a subpanel be from the main panel?
Distance mainly affects wire size due to voltage drop. Long runs to detached ADUs or garages are common — we size the feeder accordingly.
