Determining whether you need a sub panel installation depends on where you need power and how many circuits are required. Sub panels are ideal when you need multiple circuits in a location away from your main panel, when running individual circuits from your main panel would require excessively long wire runs, or when your main panel lacks space for additional breakers but has adequate amperage capacity.
Common situations that benefit from sub panel installation include garage workshops requiring circuits for welders, air compressors, and other equipment, detached garages or outbuildings needing lighting, outlets, and EV chargers, home additions requiring dedicated circuits for the new living space, finished basements with multiple circuit requirements, outdoor kitchens and entertainment areas, and pool houses or accessory dwelling units.
More importantly, attempting DIY sub panel installation creates serious safety risks including electrocution and fire hazards. Sub panel work involves high-amperage connections and must be properly sized and installed to prevent overloading and ensure safe operation.
Sub panel installation offers several advantages over running individual circuits from your main panel. By distributing power locally, sub panels reduce the length of wire runs needed for individual circuits, provide convenient breaker access near the equipment being served, organize your electrical system more efficiently, and allow for easier troubleshooting and maintenance.
For garages and workshops, having a local sub panel means you can easily add or modify circuits as your needs change without running new wires all the way back to your main panel. This flexibility makes sub panels an excellent investment for spaces where electrical needs may evolve over time.

Our sub panel installation process begins with evaluating your electrical needs and your main panel’s capacity to support a sub panel. We assess the circuits you’ll need in the new location, calculate the total load to determine appropriate sub panel sizing, verify your main panel has adequate capacity for the sub panel feeder, and plan the most efficient routing for the feeder cables.
The installation process involves installing a properly sized breaker in your main panel for the sub panel feeder, running feeder cables from the main panel to the sub panel location, mounting the sub panel in a code-compliant accessible location, connecting the feeder cables with proper grounding, and installing individual circuit breakers and running circuits as needed.
We install high-quality sub panels from trusted manufacturers, properly sized for your current needs with room for future expansion.
Garage sub panel installation is one of our most requested services, providing dedicated electrical capacity for workshops, EV charging, and general garage electrical needs. A properly sized garage sub panel can support welders and plasma cutters requiring 240-volt circuits, air compressors and dust collection systems, multiple power tool circuits, EV chargers requiring 40-60 amp dedicated circuits, lighting circuits for work areas, and general outlet circuits for convenience.
We typically recommend 60-100 amp sub panels for garage installations, providing adequate capacity for current needs while allowing room for future additions like a second EV charger or additional equipment
Home additions benefit significantly from dedicated sub panel installation rather than running numerous individual circuits from the main panel. A sub panel provides organized, accessible circuit protection specifically for the new living space while simplifying the electrical installation process.
Sub panels for home additions typically include circuits for bedroom and living area outlets, bathroom circuits with required GFCI protection, kitchen circuits if applicable, lighting circuits throughout the addition, HVAC equipment circuits, and dedicated circuits for any special equipment.

Detached garages, workshops, pool houses, and accessory dwelling units all benefit from dedicated sub panel installation. Running power to detached structures requires proper underground or overhead feeder installation along with a sub panel to distribute power within the structure.
Our detached structure sub panel services include evaluating the electrical needs of the structure, determining appropriate sub panel and feeder sizing, installing underground conduit and feeder cables, mounting and connecting the sub panel, installing individual circuits as needed, and ensuring all work meets code requirements for detached structures.

Proper sub panel sizing ensures you have adequate capacity for your current needs while allowing room for future additions. Sub panels are available in various sizes, with common residential options including 30-amp sub panels for light-duty applications with just a few circuits, 60-amp sub panels suitable for most garage and workshop applications, 100-amp sub panels for larger workshops or home additions with significant electrical needs, and 125-amp or larger sub panels for accessory dwelling units or structures with extensive requirements.
We help you select the right sub panel size based on your planned circuits, potential future needs, and your main panel’s available capacity. Choosing a slightly larger sub panel than your immediate needs often proves cost-effective by avoiding future upgrades.
Sub panel installation must comply with electrical codes that ensure safe operation and proper protection. Key code requirements include proper feeder sizing based on sub panel amperage, correct grounding and bonding at the sub panel, required working clearances around the sub panel, appropriate wire types and installation methods for feeder cables, and AFCI and GFCI protection where required by current codes.
We ensure all sub panel installations meet current code requirements and pass required inspections, protecting you from safety hazards and future complications.
Sub panel installation requires permits and inspections in all jurisdictions throughout Snohomish and King Counties. These requirements ensure the work meets safety standards and protect homeowners from dangerous installations.
