WHY TO INSTALL A SUBPANEL IN YOUR HOME
if you plan to add many 240-volt appliances like
central air conditioning, baseboard heaters, water
heaters, ovens, ranges, or 240-volt window air
conditioners, then a circuit breaker panel with more
opening may be required, as well as a circuit breaker
panel with more openings and a larger main breaker
rating.
Subpanels provide a convenience of lessening circuit
wiring runs to a minimum by centrally locating the
panel, which also lessens the voltage drop that would
occur on smaller wires over a long distance. You can
