FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Do I need a permit to run power to a detached garage?
In most cases, yes. Running a new feeder and subpanel to a detached building usually needs a permit and an inspection. We pull the permit and coordinate the inspection for you.
Can you trench and install underground conduit?
Yes. We trench, lay the conduit at the depth code requires, pull the feeder and backfill. If underground does not make sense for your yard, we can look at an overhead run instead.
What size subpanel do I need?
It depends on what you plan to run out there: tools, welders, compressors, heat or AC, an EV charger, lighting. We size the subpanel and feeder to that, with room to grow, instead of guessing.
Can you install an EV charger in my garage?
Yes. We can put the charger on the new subpanel or run a dedicated circuit for it, as long as the feeder and your main service have the capacity.
How long does installation take?
Most detached garage jobs take one to a few days, depending on the trench length, the ground and the size of the subpanel. Inspections set the final timeline, and you get a realistic schedule with your estimate.
How much does it cost to add power to a detached garage?
It depends mostly on the distance from the house, the feeder size, the trench and what goes inside the garage. We look at the site and give you a clear, detailed estimate before any work starts.
