Electrical Panel Upgrade and Surge Protection in Creedmoor, NC

On July 1, 2026, our Raleigh branch completed a comprehensive main electrical panel replacement and whole-home surge protection upgrade for homeowner Kevin Smith in Creedmoor, NC. Led by technicians Gray Gorrell and Francisco Martinez, this project modernized the home’s power distribution, improved safety, and added robust protection against power surges.

This service falls under our Panels & Service Upgrades and Electrical Panel Upgrades specialties—tailored for Creedmoor homeowners who want a safer, code-compliant electrical system backed by strong warranties.

What We Upgraded

  • Permit and inspection coordination: We handled permitting and coordinated the inspection process for a smooth experience.
  • Main electrical panel replacement (indoor, 200A): Installed a panel with an aluminum bus bar, updated labeling, and reconnected the service entrance cable and existing branch circuits.
  • Grounding and bonding: Brought the panel to current electrical code by properly grounding and bonding the equipment.
  • Whole-home surge protection: Added a $50,000 / 10-year warranty-backed surge protective device to help safeguard appliances and sensitive electronics.
  • Breaker upgrades: Replaced and added the necessary breakers to support the home’s loads and improve reliability.
  • Neat routing: Fished approximately 50 feet of wire through hard-to-reach areas to maintain a clean, professional finish.
  • Skilled crew: An electrical assistant supported the lead technicians to keep the project efficient and organized.

Breakers Installed for Reliable Performance

  • 2 × 50A Standard Breakers (range, furnace/air handler, small subpanel, EV charger, etc.)
  • 1 × 60A Standard Breaker (range, furnace/air handler, small subpanel, EV charger, etc.)
  • 1 × 90A Standard Breaker (heavy-duty equipment or subpanel applications)
  • 1 × 40A Standard Breaker (dryer, water heater, A/C condenser, spa, EV charger)
  • 1 × 30A Double-Pole Standard Breaker (dryer, water heater, A/C condenser, spa, EV charger)
  • 5 × 20A Standard Breakers (small appliance circuits)
  • 1 × 20A Double-Pole Standard Breaker (240V small appliance/equipment)
  • 8 × 15A Standard Breakers (lighting and standard branch circuits)

All circuits were clearly labeled to simplify future maintenance and upgrades.

Code, Safety, and What to Expect

As local inspectors increasingly apply NEC 2020 requirements, some homes may need AFCI breaker upgrades on certain circuits. In rare cases, preexisting wiring conditions—such as shared neutrals—can cause immediate tripping when AFCI protection is added. Resolving those issues may require additional diagnostic time to locate and correct wiring irregularities. Our team communicates these possibilities upfront and works methodically to keep your home safe and up to code.

Warranties and Long-Term Protection

  • Signature Lifetime Craftsmanship Warranty: Our workmanship on this project is backed by our lifetime craftsmanship coverage.
  • Panel Warranty: The aluminum bus bar panel carries a 20-year transferrable warranty.
  • Surge Protection Warranty: The whole-home SPD includes a $50,000 equipment warranty for 10 years. Claims are secondary to your insurance policy and direct lightning strikes are excluded. Covered equipment generally includes major appliances and hardwired systems such as washer, dryer, refrigerator, freezer, indoor HVAC equipment, dishwasher, garbage disposal, stove, wiring, outlets/switches, electrical system components, and hardwired devices (e.g., built-in microwaves, furnace, air handlers, evaporator coils, ranges, landscape and home lighting) when properly connected to the SPD. Security systems and medical equipment are excluded.

Together, these warranties help protect both the installation and the valuable devices your family relies on every day.
