Subpanels: A Comprehensive Overview
Subpanels, often referred to as secondary breaker boxes or distribution panels, are an essential component of modern electrical systems. They play a pivotal role in distributing electricity throughout various areas of your home or commercial space, improving efficiency, organization, and safety.
Why Consider a Subpanel?
A subpanel acts as an extension of your main electrical panel, allowing for additional circuits and providing more control over specific electrical systems. This is particularly valuable in larger homes or buildings where the main panel might not have sufficient capacity to handle the electrical demand or to allow for future expansions.

Benefits of Subpanels
- Load Management: Subpanels help manage electrical load by isolating new circuits, reducing stress on the main panel.
- Convenience: Having local controls for separate parts of your property, such as a garage or home additions, provides ease of access and increased operational efficiency.
- Safety: Adding subpanels reassures safe distribution of electricity and prevents overloads in the main panel.

Snapshots of their experiences
Great info and presentation
I established an appointment with Wattstar at a home show at the convention center. Daniel and Gabriel were able to come to my home the following Tuesday to perform a home electric inspection, and to provide quotes for several jobs including moving outlets and adding dimmers. After their assessment, I ended up adding a couple jobs including moving a circuit so that a light outside our bedroom was attached to a different switch, and adding surge protection to our HVAC unit and breaker. The prices were a bit higher than I would have liked, but competitive. The five star rating comes from the tremendous work they did, the knowledge Daniel and Gabriel had, and their great personalities. I would absolutely used them again for any electrical work and feel very comfortable doing so. They also provide lifetime warranties on their work which is reassuring. If you want a job done right and explained to you well, Wattstar is definitely a great option.
Tyler came out to our home and spent hours genuinely helping us try and figure out what projects to tackle first. He took our panels apart to check that we didn’t have aluminum wiring since our home was built in 1974. He insisted on going to Home Depot to replace these screws that hold up our panel, scared they were unsafe and refused to take a nickel from us. In five minutes you can tell him and his two brothers are exactly who you will want doing any electrical work in your home.
