Sub Panel Installation in Albuquerque, NM

When the main panel is out of space, or when you need power a long way from it, a sub panel is often the cleanest answer. National Electric NM installs sub panels in Albuquerque, NM for garages, workshops, casitas, additions, and businesses.

Sub panel work we do

Detached buildings are common around Albuquerque, and each one needs its own properly grounded sub panel with a disconnect. We size the feeder for voltage drop on long runs, trench and install conduit where needed, and separate the neutrals and grounds the way the code requires.

  • Sub panels for garages and workshops
  • Power for casitas, guest houses, and additions
  • Barn, well house, and outbuilding panels
  • Underground and overhead feeders
  • Load calculation to confirm the main can support it
  • Grounding electrodes for detached structures
  • Clear circuit labeling
  • Permit and inspection

A sub panel makes sense when

  • Your main panel has no open spaces
  • You are adding a shop with welders, compressors, or a kiln
  • You are building an addition or converting a garage
  • A detached building needs more than one circuit
  • You want an EV charger far from the main panel

Sub Panel Installation for Albuquerque homes and businesses

Sub Panel Installation FAQs for Albuquerque

Sub panel or full panel upgrade: which do I need in Albuquerque?

If the main service has enough capacity and you only need more spaces or power in a new location, a sub panel is usually enough. If the service itself is too small, you need a panel upgrade. We run the numbers and tell you which.

How big should a sub panel be?

A garage or small shop commonly uses 60 to 100 amps. A casita with its own cooking and cooling may need more. We size it to what you plan to run.

Can you run power to a detached building?

Yes. We trench, lay conduit, pull the feeder, and install the panel and grounding at the building.
