Subpanel Installation

Need more power for your garage, addition, or separate space? We install electrical subpanels that safely expand your system and distribute power where you need it most.



Running Out of Power or Space in Your Panel?

If your main panel is overloaded or out of breaker space, adding a subpanel is the safest and most efficient solution.

Signs you may need a subpanel:

• No available breaker slots
• Adding a garage, ADU, or home addition
• Installing EV chargers or large appliances
• Frequent breaker trips in specific areas
• Long wire runs from the main panel

👉 A subpanel gives you organized, expandable power without overloading your main system.

What Is a Subpanel?

A subpanel is a secondary electrical panel connected to your main panel. It distributes power to a specific area of your home or property.

Common uses:

• Garage or workshop
• ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit)
• Home additions
• Outdoor structures
• Basement or upstairs expansions

👉 Think of it as a dedicated power hub for a specific area.

• Breaker installation and load balancing
• Grounding and bonding

Why Install a Subpanel Instead of Expanding Your Main Panel?

A subpanel is often the smarter option because it:

• Reduces wiring complexity
• Improves system organization
• Allows future expansion
• Keeps circuits localized to one area
• Avoids overloading your main panel

👉 It’s a clean, scalable solution for growing electrical needs.

Cost of Subpanel Installation

Typical: $1,200 – $3,500+

Pricing depends on:

• Distance from main panel
• Subpanel size and capacity
• Installation location (garage, outdoor, etc.)
• Wiring complexity and accessibility

👉 We provide clear, upfront pricing based on your setup.

Smart Upgrades to Combine With a Subpanel

Most customers use this as an opportunity to upgrade their entire system:

• EV Charger Installation (Level 2)
• Dedicated Circuits for Appliances
• Electrical Panel Upgrade (if capacity is limited)
• Whole-Home Surge Protection

Bundling saves money and ensures your system is future-ready.

Common Problems Without a Subpanel

Trying to stretch your existing system can lead to:

• Overloaded circuits
• Voltage drops in distant areas
• Messy, inefficient wiring
• Limited expansion options
• Increased safety risks

👉 A subpanel eliminates these issues and improves overall performance.
