Electrical Subpanel Installation Services

The main electrical panel in your home is the conduit through which all of your home’s electricity is distributed throughout the house. Every home has one. Some homes also have an electrical subpanel (or multiple subpanels) installed to distribute electricity to a specific, often distant, area of the property.

At Mr. Electric®, our service professionals specialize in electrical subpanel installation to keep your home’s electrical system running safely and efficiently. Schedule an appointment or contact us today to get started.

  • If your main panel doesn’t have enough available circuits for additions like an EV charger or workshop, installing a new subpanel can give you extra circuit slots without overloading the main panel.

  • If you need electricity in a location that's too far from your main panel, such as a detached garage, basement, or workshop, a new subpanel near the area can reduce long cable runs and make it easier to get power in those hard-to-reach areas.

  • Certain areas require more power, like an appliance-heavy kitchen or a home office with many devices. Installing a new subpanel can help manage this load separately. This separation prevents overloading circuits and offers dedicated breakers for different spaces.

Where Does a Subpanel Get Installed?

Close to the Area of Use

The electrical subpanel should be near the location where additional power is needed, such as a garage, basement, or separate floor. Installing the subpanel closer to the area of use reduces wiring costs and makes it easier to manage power to specific areas.

Accessible but Protected Location

Like the main panel, a subpanel should be easily accessible and protected. Ideally, you should install your subpanel in an area that is not prone to moisture. Electrical subpanels are typically mounted on a wall near other utilities or in a closet that’s easily reachable for circuit control.

Within Code Regulations

Electrical subpanels must be installed according to local codes, which require specific clearances, grounding, and connection back to the main panel. Hiring a licensed service professional ensures the subpanel is installed safely and up to code.

  • A subpanel receives electricity through a double-pole circuit breaker in the main electrical panel. The power sent from the main panel to the subpanel can then be distributed within the structure, addition, or wing of the home through various circuits. This provides reliable electrical service and prevents tripped circuit breakers due to overloaded circuits.

    Highly recommended! Installed my Tesla Charger and it was a difficult project with my breaker box in the basement but it was no issue at all.
