Workshop and Shed Wiring Services
Whether you have a woodworking shop, an art studio, a man cave, or a garden shed, having proper electrical service transforms a basic outbuilding into a fully functional workspace. Running extension cords from your house is inconvenient, limits what you can power, and violates electrical codes for permanent installations. Project Pros installs complete electrical systems in detached buildings throughout Cape Coral, from basic lighting and outlets to full workshop setups with 240V power and sub-panels.
Underground Feeder from Main Panel
Powering a detached building requires running a feeder circuit from your main electrical panel to the outbuilding. This typically involves underground conduit buried to code depth (18-24 inches) with appropriately sized conductors. The feeder size depends on your planned usage: a basic shed with lighting and a few outlets may only need a 20-amp circuit, while a serious workshop with power tools, air compressor, and welder needs a 60-amp or 100-amp sub-panel. We trench, install conduit, pull wire, and backfill with minimal disruption to your yard.
Interior Wiring and Layout
Inside your workshop or shed, we install a complete electrical system including a sub-panel for circuit distribution, 120V outlets on dedicated 20-amp circuits, 240V outlets for heavy equipment, overhead LED lighting sized for your workspace, task lighting over workbenches and equipment areas, and exterior lighting for nighttime access and security. All outlets in workshops and sheds require GFCI protection per code, and we ensure adequate circuit separation so that running one tool does not trip the breaker for your lights or other equipment.
