ADU Electrical Planning: Service, Feeder, Subpanel and Load Coordination
ADU electrical work should be planned early because the service, feeder, subpanel, HVAC, appliances, lighting, and future energy equipment all affect the final design.
Start With the Existing Service
The first question is whether the existing electrical service can support the main dwelling and the new ADU. A load calculation and review of the service equipment help determine whether the project can use the existing service or needs an upgrade.
Feeder and Subpanel Planning
The feeder size, conductor type, underground or overhead routing, conduit, disconnecting means, and ADU subpanel should be coordinated with the plans and the actual site conditions.
Coordinate the Major Loads
Mini-splits, electric ranges, water heating, laundry equipment, EV charging, solar, and batteries can materially affect the electrical design. Coordinating these loads early helps prevent redesign and change orders later.
