Project Overview

Project Overview

This Raleigh home had an older 100-amp electrical service that no longer met the demands of modern life. The system lacked the capacity needed for today’s appliances, devices, and future growth—creating safety risks and the potential for outages.

We upgraded the home to a new 200-amp Siemens electrical system with a modern exterior panel and meter base, improved overhead service, a basement subpanel, and upgraded grounding—delivering the safety, reliability, and capacity this home needs. The installation was completed cleanly and passed final inspection.

Problem

Older 100-amp service with limited capacity and potential safety concerns.

Solution

New 200-amp Siemens panel system with meter base, service drop, and basement subpanel.

Result

Safer, cleaner, and inspection-ready electrical service built to last.

Quality GuaranteedBuilt to last. Built right.
1

Onsite Estimate & Scope Definition

We performed a detailed onsite evaluation of the existing electrical system, panel condition, wiring, and service entrance. The scope of work was defined, including the new exterior panel, meter base, overhead service drop, and basement subpanel. Permits were coordinated before any removal began.

Panel Removal & New Installation

The existing 100-amp panel was de-energized and removed. We installed a new Siemens 200-amp panel and meter base on the exterior left side of the home. The basement subpanel was installed and wired. All branch circuits were reconnected, tested, and labeled for clarity.
