Step one in my quest to setup my new garage for a real workshop is to improve the electric capabilities. The entire garage (26' x 30') is now fed from one single 15A breaker, this isn't gonna do it. Rather than run a bunch of feeds from the 200A main panel, I am adding a 100A sub-panel with circuits for receptacles, lights, air compressor, welder, and maybe even a lift eventually.
So, my questions is... if I do all this work myself, do I need to have it inspected? I am confident that I won't screw it up, but I am mostly concerned about maintaining my homeowner's insurance. A co-worker that is coaching me teaches an electrical class so he is very familiar with the latest codes, so I'm pretty sure I'm OK there too.
