Adding/Upgrading Subpanel

Understanding Subpanels

An electrical subpanel is a smaller service panel that distributes electricity to a specific area or function within your home or business. Subpanels break the electrical system into smaller portions and add convenience when it comes to consolidating circuit breaker functions. They're especially useful when space is limited in the main panel.

Benefits of Installing/Upgrading a Subpanel

Adding or upgrading a subpanel offers several key advantages:

  • Enhanced Versatility: Subpanels can improve versatility by allowing circuits in a specific area to be isolated, making troubleshooting easier.
  • Increased Capacity: If your main electrical panel is fully occupied, a subpanel can increase available space for new circuits.
  • Organized Distribution: They help in organizing wires and can prevent overloading a primary electrical panel.
  • Segregated Control: It allows for localized control of specific areas, reducing potential widespread electrical faults.

Signs You Might Need a Subpanel

There are several indicators that it might be time to add or upgrade a subpanel:

  • Your home or office sees frequent circuit breaker trips, signaling that the existing electrical system may be overloaded.
  • If you are planning on a significant renovation or the addition of major appliances and need additional power sources.
  • Desire to separate critical systems, like HVAC, for dependable performance.
  • Expanding your living space, garage, or setting up a workshop requiring additional outlets.

Our clients love us

Here's some of what they had to say

Went with Walter Electric to do a major electrical overhaul of our older home. Panel upgrade, complete home re-wire, new light fixtures, new outlets, bathroom exhaust fan, smoke/CO detectors, and probably a few other things I'm forgetting at the moment--point is it was no small task. The team at Walter Electric is absolutely top notch. They work quickly, show meticulous attention to detail, and are friendly & responsive to questions. The home has never been in better shape. The new lighting is so nice.

Martie L.

Keith and his team are incredible. I did a remodel of my older home to include: ceiling can lights in every room, under cabinet lights in kitchen, chandelier in dining area, ceiling fans, and a new electric fireplace install. Their work is exceptional and they are extremely knowledgeable in the specifics and effects of the location of lighting. I highly recommend and would definitely use them again.
