What is a sub panel?
An electrical subpanel installation, also known as a service sub panel, involves setting up a separate electrical panel that branches off from the main service panel. It is used to extend the electrical circuits in your home or building without overloading the main service panel. A subpanel does not provide additional electricity to the property. It simply allows for better distribution and management of the existing electrical service.
- Distribution of Power: It helps distribute power to specific areas of a property. For example, if you have a workshop in your garage, you might have a subpanel there to handle the electrical load of your tools
- Circuit Breakers: Just like the main service panel, a subpanel contains its own set of circuit breakers. These breakers protect the electrical circuits in their designated area from overloading and potentially causing a fire.
Increased Capacity: A subpanel provides additional slots for circuit breakers, allowing you to add more circuits to your electrical system.
Efficiency: A subpanel can help distribute power more efficiently, especially in homes with heavy electrical loads
Ease of Expansion: If you plan on expanding your home or adding major appliances, a subpanel makes it easier to accommodate these changes.
It’s important to know that working with electricity can be risky, so it’s best to hire a licensed electrician when dealing with electrical panels. Safety comes first! While installing a subpanel can be beneficial, it should always be done by a professional to ensure safety and compliance with local codes.
