Subpanel Installations
Electric subpanels act as an addition to your home’s main circuit breaker box. Every home comes equipped with a main circuit box, more commonly known as a main service panel, that powers the building. A subpanel serves as a smaller version of this service panel, powering specific locations that are typically farther in distance from the main circuit.
The installation of an electric subpanel can help homeowners utilize electricity more efficiently. It does not add more electrical power to your home, simply distributes power to locations that are separate from the main house, like a garage or finished basement.
At Will Spurlock Electrical Contractor, we understand no two houses are the same. That’s why we offer expert subpanel installation services to effectively distribute power so you can manage your electricity from any part of your property.
Benefits of electric subpanels
Subpanels can be placed anywhere inside or outside of your home. Even though this option does not increase the amount of power in your building’s main circuit, it helps efficiently disperse electricity to new locations. Benefits of installing electric subpanels include:
- Brings value to an area that requires large amounts of electricity such as a garage or finished basement
- Connects electricity to locations far away from the main service panel
- Adds additional circuits when the main service panel is full
