Subpanel Installation Services

Subpanel Installation is the process of adding a secondary electrical panel to safely extend and manage power distribution in your home or business. In Massachusetts, our licensed electricians ensure expert installation that meets local codes, enhances system capacity, and protects your property.

Subpanel Installation That Keeps Your Home Safe and Future-Ready

Adding a sub panel is a smart, safe way to extend your electrical system, especially if you're upgrading appliances or building an addition. Proper subpanel installation ensures your home's power is well-distributed, reduces overload risk, and sets you up for future expansions like electric vehicle chargers or home offices.

Why Install a Subpanel?

A sub panel offers flexibility without replacing your main service. It acts as a safe, organized branch of your main panel, giving you more capacity and control.

  • Avoids overloading your main panel
  • Great for garages, basements, or additions
  • Keeps wiring organized and safer
  • Easier access to circuits in specific areas
"Many homeowners don’t realize – an overloaded main panel isn’t just inconvenient, it’s a fire hazard. Adding a subpanel reduces that risk dramatically, especially in older homes."

Whether you're running power to a new hot tub or creating a workshop, install a subpanel to make sure your upgrades are safe and legally compliant.

Understanding Electrical Subpanel Installation Costs

Knowing the cost to install subpanel helps you plan better and avoid surprises. In Massachusetts, costs typically vary based on location, distance from the main panel, and how much amperage you need.

How Much Does It Cost to Install a Subpanel?

On average, homeowners in Massachusetts spend between $750 and $2,000, depending on setup and access.

Here’s what can influence your cost:

  • Distance from the main panel
  • Permit and inspection requirements
  • Amperage needed (sub panels typically range from 60–100 amps)
  • Complexity (e.g., finished vs. unfinished spaces)

For energy-saving upgrades, you may even qualify for rebates or incentives from Mass Save®.

When planning subpanel upgrades, it pays to invest in professional service. Our licensed electricians make sure everything is code-compliant and built to handle your growing power needs.​
