Expert Subpanel Installation in San Carlos, CA
Subpanel installation gives your San Carlos home a dedicated distribution point for new circuits without touching your main panel. We run a feeder from your main panel to the subpanel location, size the breaker correctly, and wire each new circuit to code under the California Electrical Code. Many San Carlos homes were built in the 1940s through the 1970s, and their original electrical systems were not designed to handle today's loads. Adding an EV charger, a home office, a garage workshop, or a kitchen remodel often pushes an older panel past its safe capacity. A subpanel solves that without requiring a full service upgrade. We pull the required city electrical permit, schedule the inspection, and walk you through what was installed before we leave. Call Truth Electric Solutions to get a straight assessment of whether a subpanel fits your project.
