## Intro: A subpanel provides additional space for circuits in homes with expanding power needs. Subpanels are commonly installed in garages, workshops, or home additions, ensuring these areas have a dedicated power supply without overloading the main panel. ## Benefits: Subpanels improve power distribution across a home, reducing strain on the main panel and preventing overload. They also simplify future electrical installations by providing extra circuit space in high-demand areas. ## Risks: Installing a subpanel requires careful planning and professional expertise. An improperly installed subpanel can lead to overloads, power interruptions, or even safety risks. DIY installations often overlook grounding and connection standards, which can lead to hazards. ## Conclusion: Adding a subpanel is a smart choice for large or expanding homes. Professional installation guarantees safe and reliable power distribution without risking main panel overloads.
