Summary

Electrical systems in older homes can struggle to keep up with modern power demands. This project called for a full 200 amp service upgrade, bringing safer, more reliable electricity to a Philadelphia residence. The work was needed to support new appliances and add important protection against surges while keeping everything up to code.

The Work

Installed a new 200 amp electrical panel with PECO utility taps, meter, and grounding
Added whole home surge protection and included a factory warranty device
Upgraded kitchen and laundry receptacles, including GFCI and tamper-resistant outlets
Installed and roughed in a bathroom exhaust fan for improved ventilation
Handled all required permit fees, taxes, inspections, and underwriting certification

The Outcome

After the upgrade, the property now has a clean, organized electrical panel ready for current and future needs. Surge protection adds peace of mind for electronics, and new GFCI outlets provide added safety in key areas. The updated wiring and proper labeling make it easier for anyone to understand and maintain the system going forward.
