ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area Sub Panel or Not?

Hi,
I am doing a large 2 story home that is all electric. The main panel is in the garage on the basement level. I was thinking about installing a sub panel on the 1st level to handle some of the loads up there.

Is this a good idea?

Any suggestions on WHERE to put it?

Thanks for any replies..
