Plan for Every Tool
The most common shop mistake is too little power. So list every tool you have now, plus what you may add later. Welders, compressors and heaters need big circuits.
Next, think about lights and outlets. Bright LED lights and an outlet every few feet save a lot of frustration. Then we size the feed and sub-panel to match.
Plan for these:
⚡ A sub-panel with room to grow
⚡ 240V circuits for big tools
⚡ Outlets on every wall
⚡ Bright LED shop lights
⚡ Outdoor lights by the doors
⚡ Power for heat, AC or a mini-split

Quick Answers
⚡ How big should my shop sub-panel be?
Many shops use a 60 to 100 amp sub-panel. Big welders or heat may need more. We size it to your tools.
⚡ Do I need a separate meter for my shop?
Not always. Often we feed it from your house panel. A separate meter can make sense for big loads or long distances.
⚡ Can you wire a shop I build myself?
Yes. We work with owner-builders all the time. We can rough in before you close the walls.
