Turning garage into recording studio: Need help w/ Electrical
Once paint-ready, interior dimensions will be:
27’ length x 23’ width x 8’9” height.
See 2nd img for layout (has AI-suggested receptacles layout, likely not reliable)
I’m trying to determine the best electrical design so I can confidently hire the right electrician to do this best for recording studio use case.
I know studio electricity needs will be higher than existing garage needs. Just not sure how much and what that implies, given existing build and layout.
There’s an existing breaker panel that works great for normal garage needs (see pics). Can I use existing? If not, what is best to replace with?
Additional notes: I bought an 18k BTU mini-split that will be installed after finalizing electrical. Want to future proof this in case even more electrical needs go up. Would like it to be to code, as added square footage. That being said, I’m thinking I’ll keep existing insulated garage door for now. Then hear how that sounds proofed/treated that way. Then go from there if/when we need to remove garage door.
Any help is much much appreciated! Got 2 baby daughters and I need a safe music haven for sanity lol.
TL;DR Turning garage into studio. Have opportunity to update electrical. Want to do this right the 1st time 🙏🏼💙🤘🏼.
