A subpanel (also called a secondary panel or breaker box) is a smaller electrical panel fed from your main panel that distributes power to a specific area of your home or property. Subpanels are the right solution when you need multiple new circuits in a location that’s far from your main panel, or when your main panel doesn’t have enough space for additional breakers. Miele Electric Power installs subpanels for garages, workshops, additions, pool houses, barns, and accessory dwelling units across Connecticut.

When Do You Need a Subpanel?

A subpanel is the right solution in several common situations. If you’re converting a garage to a workshop or studio and need 240-volt circuits for tools or equipment, running individual circuits from the main panel is inefficient and expensive. A subpanel in the garage gives you a local distribution point with room for future circuits. In-law suites, home offices, pool houses, and backyard workshops all benefit from a dedicated subpanel. It keeps your main panel from getting overcrowded, makes future electrical work in that area simpler and less expensive, and provides a cleaner, more professional installation. Miele Electric Power sizes and installs subpanels correctly for the intended use, not undersized for cost savings that create problems later. We handle all Connecticut permits and inspections as part of every subpanel installation.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I could not be happier with my experience with Miele Electric Power.  From my first conversation with Carl on the phone, I knew that he knew what he was talking about, and there was no high-pressure salesmanship.  He took charge of the project of installing my whole-house generator and maintained contact throughout the process.  His workers were equally professional.  I would recommend Miele Electric Power without qualifications.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The process for getting a generator estimate and its installation was very efficient with Carl Miele and the Miele Electric crew. Carl took the time to explain what our house would need without overselling us (which happened with other electricians). The work was completed efficiently from the installation of generator to the propane tanks to the building inspector’s approval. We are very happy to have chosen Miele electric. We recommend their services and Carl will be our electrician moving forward. We thank his company for their professionalism and expertise.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. So far so good, but with an emergency generator, rubber meets the road when and if there is an issue and the response. However, everything Carl (owner) said he would do on installation and follow through went down just as he said it would. His people could not be nicer to deal with. What made me go with Miele Electric was the number of techs he has on staff. Other companies I priced out and had conversations with had 1-2 tech guys available which is huge when there could be an issue with my generator during a power outage.
Lastly, Miele was the only company of the 4 I entertained that the owner personally was involved from the get go. No leaving messages, getting put to an answering service, having to schedule the initial call weeks in advance, ect. Carl gave me his cell and had a written quote to me next day. As a business owner myself, that is a huge positive.
