Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need a permit for a Carmel panel upgrade?
- Yes — Carmel Building & Code Enforcement requires a permit and inspection for any service-equipment change. Most reputable electricians handle the permit and coordinate the Duke Energy disconnect/reconnect.
- Will my Carmel EV charger need a panel upgrade?
- A 240V/50A Level 2 charger draws 11-12 kW. Older 100-amp panels and even some 1990s 150-amp services are too tight. A 200-amp upgrade ($2,500-$4,500) typically clears the way.
- Should I add surge protection in Carmel?
- Yes — Indiana's summer thunderstorms cause direct strikes and induced surges regularly. A whole-home Type 2 SPD at the panel runs $300-$600 installed and protects all branch circuits.
