Why This Upgrade Matters

Older wiring and undersized panels can limit your home’s power capacity and increase safety risks. By upgrading to a 200A service and completing a full rewiring, this Raleigh home now supports modern appliances, HVAC equipment, and EV charging—while aligning with current electrical codes.

Safety first: New circuits, devices, and grounding reduce the risk of overheating, arcing, and nuisance tripping.
Future-ready capacity: The 200-amp panel supports expanding needs such as EVs, workshops, and home offices.
Equipment protection: Whole-home surge protection adds a layer of defense for sensitive electronics.
Reliable HVAC service: A dedicated 220V circuit with a proper disconnect ensures safe maintenance and operation.
