Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for a Durham panel upgrade?
Yes — Durham Inspections requires a permit and inspection. Most reputable electricians handle the permit and coordinate the Duke Energy disconnect/reconnect.
Will my Durham 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.
Should I add surge protection?
Yes — Carolinas thunderstorms cause direct strikes regularly. A whole-home Type 2 SPD ($300-$600) protects all branch circuits.
