															Garages, Pole Barns and Workshops
When planning electrical installations for new garages, pole barns, sheds, or workshops, it’s essential to consider several key factors to ensure safety, functionality, and compliance with local regulations. The professionals at T.A.P Electric are here to consult with you prior to building so we are ready for the proper installation. We will provide tailored advice, design the electrical layout, and ensure all safety protocols are followed.
Here are some of the things we will consider:
- 
                    
						Assess Your Electrical NeedsDetermine the total electrical load required by listing all intended equipment and appliances, such as lighting, heating systems, power tools, and machinery. This assessment will help in deciding the appropriate amperage for your electrical service. 
- 
                    
						Service CapacityFor buildings with substantial electrical demands, a 200-amp service may be necessary. However, for standard usage, a 100-amp service might suffice. Consulting with a licensed electrician can provide clarity on the optimal service size for your specific needs. 
- 
                    
						Distance ConsiderationsThe distance between your main power source and the new structure affects voltage drop and may influence wire sizing. Longer distances might require larger gauge wires to maintain proper voltage levels. An electrician can calculate the appropriate specifications based on the distance and load. 
- 
                    
						Separate Meter vs. SubpanelDecide whether to install a separate electrical meter for the new building or run a subpanel from your existing service. A separate meter allows independent monitoring of usage but may incur additional monthly fees. A subpanel connected to your home's main service can be cost-effective but requires sufficient capacity in the existing system. 
- 
                    
						Compliance with Local CodesElectrical installations must adhere to local building codes and regulations. Hiring a licensed electrician ensures that all work meets the National Electrical Code (NEC) standards and passes necessary inspections. 
- 
                    
						Future ExpansionConsider potential future electrical needs. Installing a larger capacity panel or additional conduits during initial construction can accommodate future expansions without significant modifications.
