Garage Wiring and Sub-Panel Services

Your garage is more than just a place to park your car. It is a workshop, a gym, a hobby space, and increasingly, a home for your electric vehicle charger. Unfortunately, most garages in Cape Coral were built with minimal electrical service — often just a single circuit for the garage door opener and one or two outlets. Project Pros upgrades garage electrical systems with additional circuits, dedicated sub-panels, and specialized wiring to support modern garage needs.

Garage Sub-Panel Installation

A sub-panel in your garage provides a dedicated power distribution point with room for multiple circuits. This is the best approach when you need several new circuits for an EV charger, workshop equipment, air compressor, refrigerator or freezer, lighting upgrades, and power tools. We typically install 60-amp or 100-amp sub-panels fed from your main panel, providing ample capacity for current needs and future expansion. A sub-panel also allows for convenient local circuit breaker control without walking to the main panel inside the house.

Workshop and Power Tool Circuits

Serious workshop tools like table saws, planers, welders, and air compressors need dedicated circuits with the right voltage and amperage. Running multiple power tools on the same circuit leads to tripped breakers and voltage drops that can damage motor windings. We install dedicated 120V, 20-amp circuits for general-purpose outlets, 240V circuits for heavy equipment, and GFCI protection on all garage receptacles as required by code. Strategic outlet placement means you never need to run extension cords across your workspace.

Garage Lighting Upgrades

Adequate lighting is essential for any garage workspace. We replace dim, shadowy single-bulb fixtures with high-output LED shop lights, wraparound LED fixtures, and task lighting positioned directly over workbenches and tool areas. Motion-activated lighting at the garage entrance and interior provides convenience and security, while dedicated lighting circuits ensure your lights remain on even when a power tool trips a breaker on a separate circuit.
