Updating Your Electrical for Higher Energy Usage Electrical Panel Installation

An electrical subpanel can serve various purposes in your home, acting as a smaller version of your main electrical panel dedicated to a specific area or function. By distributing electrical load more evenly and reducing strain on the main panel, subpanels enhance overall system performance. This targeted approach allows for better control over specific circuits, making it easier to manage power usage in different parts of your home. Increased safety is achieved through localized circuit breakers that can quickly isolate problems, minimizing risks such as electrical fires or overloads

Furthermore, subpanels improve efficiency by reducing voltage drop in long circuit runs, ensuring that all your electrical devices operate reliably and effectively. Whether you're adding new appliances, extending living spaces, or upgrading your home's electrical infrastructure, electrical panel installation can be a smart and practical solution.

Electrical Subpanel Uses

An electrical sub panel may have various uses in your home. A subpanel is a smaller version of your home’s main panel used for a particular area that could benefit from its control center.

These uses include:

  • Garages
  • Mother-in-law cottages
  • EV chargers
  • Shed/workshops
  • Pools/hot tubs

Any area detached from your home could benefit from a subpanel because it’s easier to reset breakers, monitor electrical usage, and save you money during installation. If you’re renting out a mother-in-law cottage, it’s much easier to charge for electrical use when you can easily measure it with a subpanel. Sheds, workshops, and garages may flip circuits more often with high-energy power tools or EV chargers, and resetting the circuit will be more accessible near that area. Other high-draw accessories like pools and hot tubs benefit from subpanels for safety and cheaper installation.

No matter what electrical panel installatio you need, Laughlin Electric is here for you. We have spent 30 years perfecting our service and investing in our community, so you can count on us to go above and beyond.
