Project overview
Our Raleigh branch completed a comprehensive 200-amp service upgrade and main electrical panel replacement for Ground Works - Raleigh in Wilson, NC. Led by technician Gustavo Peralta, this project was finished on February 12, 2026, and delivered the capacity, safety, and reliability modern properties demand—backed by our Signature Lifetime Craftsmanship Warranty.
This job falls under our core services: Panels & Service Upgrades and Electrical Panel Upgrades, designed to bring aging electrical systems up to current code and ready for today’s power needs.
What we upgraded
- Permit pulled and inspections coordinated to ensure full compliance with local codes and NEC standards.
- 200-amp meter/panel combo installed with feed-through lugs for future expansion and streamlined service equipment.
- Main electrical panel replacement featuring an aluminum bus bar with a 20-year transferable warranty.
- Whole-home surge protection installed for comprehensive defense against damaging voltage spikes (coverage rated at $10K/3-year).
- New service riser and weatherhead installed; utility power drop and reconnection scheduled and coordinated.
- Grounding system upgraded with new ground rods and properly sized grounding electrode conductors, all terminations secured and labeled.
- Feeder conductors updated with THHN 2/0 as needed to support the upgraded 200-amp service.
Breaker layout and circuit readiness
To match the customer’s current and future loads, we installed a balanced mix of breakers while leaving room for growth:
- 2 × 40A standard breakers (ideal for high-demand equipment)
- 3 × 30A double-pole breakers
- 12 × 20A standard breakers for small appliance and general-purpose circuits
- 1 × 20A double-pole breaker for dedicated applications
All breakers were torqued to manufacturer specifications, clearly labeled, and organized for safe, straightforward maintenance.
Built for safety, performance, and code compliance
From permitting to inspection, our team ensured the Wilson, NC property meets today’s electrical standards. The new grounding system, meter/panel combo, and properly rated conductors improve fault clearing, reduce nuisance tripping, and enhance surge resilience. We also accounted for current code expectations around AFCI/GFCI protection where applicable.
Why a 200-amp upgrade is a smart move
- Capacity for modern loads: Supports HVAC, EV charging, spas, and workshop tools without overtaxing the system.
- Room to expand: Feed-through lugs make adding subpanels or future circuits simpler.
- Equipment protection: Whole-home surge protection helps safeguard appliances and electronics.
- Resale and reliability: Updated service equipment and clear labeling add value and peace of mind.
