Frequently Asked Questions
- Permit for a panel swap?
- Yes — Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Inspections requires an electrical permit. Your NC-licensed contractor handles filing.
- Duke EV TOU rate — savings?
- Duke's residential EV TOU has a deep super-off-peak overnight (typically 11pm–6am). Cuts charging costs significantly if you can shift loads.

- 22kW natural gas standby (Generac/Kohler) covers a typical home including AC. PSNC Energy gas serves most W-S addresses.
