Panel & Service Upgrades in Goose Creek

A Lowcountry summer asks a lot of an electrical panel: air conditioning running for months, pool pumps, a second refrigerator in the garage and everything else a busy household uses. Humid air can also corrode breakers and bus bars over time. When a panel is worn, corroded or simply too small, Reliable Electrician Network replaces it with properly sized service for homes across Goose Creek, Summerville, Hanahan and North Charleston, and explains every step along the way.

What the upgrade includes

Usually a new panel, often 200 amps, plus a new meter base, service conductors and grounding where needed. We pull the permit, coordinate the disconnect and reconnect with your utility, and schedule the inspection. While the panel is being replaced, it's the ideal time to add whole-house surge protection and a generator inlet, so your home is better prepared for storm season.

Outdoor panels and the coast

Panels mounted outside or in garages are exposed to heat, humidity and salt in the air. We use enclosures and fittings rated for the conditions, seal penetrations properly, and position equipment to reduce moisture problems down the road.

Panel Upgrades questions

How long does a panel upgrade take?

Usually one working day, with power off for part of it. We'll schedule around the hottest part of the day where possible.

Is a permit needed in Goose Creek?

Yes. Panel and service upgrades require a permit and inspection, which we handle.

Can you add surge protection at the same time?

Yes, and it's an easy add while the panel is being replaced.

Is corrosion in a panel dangerous?

It can be. Corroded connections can overheat. If you see rust inside your panel, have it checked.
