What Is Residential Electrical Supply?

Residential electrical supply means sourcing the panels, wiring, boxes, lighting, and other components used in home electrical work — from a simple outlet replacement to a full panel upgrade or new-construction wiring. Getting the right product the first time keeps a project on code and on schedule, whether the work is being done by a homeowner’s electrician or a residential contractor.

Common Residential Electrical Projects We Support

Panel Upgrades & Load Centers

Application: Residential, commercial, and light industrial panels.
100-amp to 200-amp panel upgrades for homes adding central air, an addition, or an EV charger — a Level 2 charger alone can draw 30–50 amps.

Home Rewiring & New Construction Wiring

Romex (NM-B) wire, boxes, and devices for remodels, additions, and new-build residential wiring. See our full Wire, Cords & Cables guide for gauge and type selection.

Indoor & Outdoor Lighting

LED retrofits, weatherproof outdoor fixtures, and landscape lighting for energy savings and curb appeal.

EV Charger Circuit Installation

Panel capacity checks, dedicated circuits, and outdoor-rated boxes for Level 2 home EV charging stations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a 200-amp panel to install an EV charger at home?

In most cases, yes. A Level 2 home EV charger draws roughly 30 to 50 amps on its own, and if a 100-amp panel is already near capacity with cooling, cooking, and other appliances, adding an EV circuit can overload it. Homes over 3,000 square feet or with electric heat and air conditioning typically need 200-amp service regardless.

What's the difference between a 100-amp and 200-amp electrical panel?

A 200-amp panel supports significantly more circuits and total load than a 100-amp panel. 100-amp service is often sufficient for smaller homes with gas heat and basic appliances, while 200-amp service is recommended for larger homes or homes adding central air, a pool, hot tub, or EV charger.

Do I need a permit for a home electrical panel upgrade?

Yes, in most areas an electrical permit is required for a panel upgrade, and the work must be performed by a licensed electrician. We supply the correct panel and components; your electrician handles the permit and installation.

Can ATEK supply materials directly to homeowners, or only to contractors?

We work with both. Homeowners can order directly for a project their electrician is completing, and we also supply licensed residential contractors on an ongoing basis.

How do I know what wire gauge my home project needs?

Wire gauge depends on the circuit’s amperage and length — for example, a standard 20-amp circuit typically needs 12 AWG copper wire. Your electrician calculates the exact gauge from the panel schedule and run length; we supply the correct wire once you have that spec.

Does ATEK ship residential electrical products nationwide?

Yes. Our primary market is Minneapolis–St. Paul and greater Minnesota, but we ship residential electrical products nationwide.
