Commercial Subpanel Installation & Repair in Cresskill, NJ

We design and install commercial subpanels for:

• Offices and medical suites in Cresskill, Tenafly, and Englewood

• Retail stores and salons in Bergenfield, Closter, and nearby towns

• Restaurants and food service needing more kitchen power

• Warehouses, garages, and light industrial spaces

When Your Business Needs a Commercial Subpanel

Signs You May Need a Subpanel

You may need a commercial subpanel in Cresskill or Bergen County if you notice:

• Main panel is full with no safe room for new breakers

• Breakers trip often when equipment or HVAC starts

• You’re adding new tenants, workstations, or machinery

• You’re building out a new section far from the main panel

• You have a mix of old, unlabeled circuits and new loads

• An inspector or insurance report mentions overloaded panels

Instead of forcing more into an already crowded main panel, a subpanel lets power be distributed safely and clearly.

Examples for Bergen County Businesses

Real-world subpanel use cases in our area:

• A restaurant in Englewood adds new kitchen equipment and needs more circuits near the line.

• An office in Cresskill adds cubicles, printers, and servers on a new floor.

• A warehouse in Bergenfield needs power for chargers, conveyors, and added lighting.

• A storefront in Tenafly adds refrigeration and display lighting at the far end of the space.

In each case, a properly sized subpanel with correct feeder wire, labeling, and grounding solves the problem and satisfies NJ electrical code.

Our Commercial Subpanel Installation & Upgrade Process

Step 1 – Site Visit and NEC-Based Load Calculation

We start with a walkthrough of your building:

• Inspect main service, main panel, and any existing subpanels

• Review your equipment, HVAC, lighting, and future plans

• Perform a load calculation using the National Electrical Code (NEC)

• Check for voltage drop issues on longer runs

You get a clear picture of what your electrical system can safely handle.

Step 2 – Design & Written Proposal

Next, we design a subpanel setup built for your business:

• Select panel amp rating (60A, 100A, 125A, 225A, etc.)

• Plan feeder route and conduit type (indoor, outdoor, roof, or parking lot)

• Confirm whether you need single-phase or three-phase

• Prepare a written estimate that outlines labor, materials, and permit fees

You see everything in writing before work starts.

Step 3 – Permits and Scheduling

In New Jersey, panel and subpanel work normally requires an electrical permit.

Enara Electric:

• Prepares and files the electrical permit with the Cresskill Construction / Building Department for Cresskill projects

• Follows NJ Uniform Construction Code rules for subpanel work

• Coordinates inspection dates so they fit your schedule

• Plans night or weekend work where needed to reduce downtime

You don’t have to run between the town hall and the jobsite — we handle the paperwork.

Step 4 – Installation Day

On installation day we:

• Set a safe shutdown plan so staff, tenants, and equipment are protected

• Mount the new subpanel in the agreed location

• Pull and terminate feeder conductors from the main panel

• Ensure proper neutral and ground separation in the subpanel as required by NEC

• Add circuits and label every breaker and panel schedule

We keep your space clean and communicate clearly before, during, and after the work.

Step 5 – Inspection, Testing, and Handoff

After installation:

• We test the subpanel and circuits

• Meet the local electrical inspector for the final inspection

• Address any minor punch-list items if needed

• Provide you with:

• Updated panel schedule

• Notes about loads on each circuit

• Warranty details and maintenance tips

NJ Codes, Permits & Inspections for Commercial Subpanels

NEC and NJ UCC Overview

New Jersey uses the National Electrical Code as the basis for its electrical rules. For your subpanel, that affects:

• How big the panel and breakers can be

• What size and type of wire is required

• How far you can run feeders before voltage drop becomes a problem

• How neutral and ground bars must be arranged in subpanels

Enara Electric designs every project around these rules so inspections go smoothly.

Cresskill Permit Basics

For properties in Cresskill, NJ:

• Subpanel and panel work typically requires an electrical permit

• Work is reviewed by the local electrical subcode official

• Permits have time limits, so work must move forward steadily

• Open permits can delay sales, refinancing, or Certificates of Occupancy

We file permits on your behalf, track the status, and help close old electrical permits where possible.

Typical Fees and What They Cover

Cresskill, like other NJ towns, often sets electrical subcode fees by amp rating of service, panel, and subpanel work. Fees may cover:

• Plan review

• Rough and final inspections

• Administrative processing

We will review current fee schedules with you and list permit costs in your estimate.

Utility Coordination with PSE&G

We coordinate with PSE&G on service upgrades and large commercial jobs, so you’re not stuck between the utility and the town.
