Duke Energy Carolinas covers most Charlotte electric service. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Building Code permits and inspects all service work. Whole-home surge protection is highly recommended given Carolina thunderstorm intensity. Many Ballantyne and South Charlotte HOAs require ARC review for outdoor equipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need a permit for a Charlotte panel upgrade?
- Yes — Charlotte-Mecklenburg Building Code requires a permit and inspection. Most reputable electricians handle the permit and coordinate the Duke Energy disconnect/reconnect.
- Will my Charlotte EV charger need a panel upgrade?
- A 240V/50A Level 2 charger draws 11-12 kW. Older 100-amp services and 1990s 150-amp services are usually too tight. A 200-amp upgrade typically clears the way.
- Should I add surge protection?
- Yes — Carolinas thunderstorms cause direct strikes and induced surges regularly. A whole-home Type 2 SPD ($300-$600) protects all branch circuits.
