About This Service
What Is Subpanel Installation?
Westminster’s Little Saigon and Bolsa Avenue corridor neighborhoods have a long history of owner-added ADUs, garage conversions, and additions built onto mid-century homes from the 1955 to 1975 era. Rather than overloading the original main panel, a subpanel adds dedicated circuits for that added space. The work involves confirming the main panel has enough remaining capacity, running feeder wire to the new location, and pulling a permit through the City of Westminster Building Division. Larger subpanels may also require coordination with Southern California Edison.
