Hello
I thought a sub panel could not be in a laundry room. I read on here that it could. Would someone please conform, and are there regulations?
Thanks

As for your question, what does the building/code enforcement department say about your proposed sub-panel?

Get out while you still can. Small houses and service work for residential will keep you in the poor house. I've been working my way out for 4 yrs, but occasionally I keep getting sucked back in when the commercial slows....get out Luke!

A panel can go in a laundry, but must comply with 110.26.

Behind the opened door would be the best spot.

I did ask the inspector and he said it was fine.

It does not matter if its in a laundry room as long as it has the correct working space in front side and above and the washer/dryer are not in the working space.
