Wilmington Electrical Panel Services 

Professional Upgrades & Replacements for Homes & Businesses

At Coastal Comfort Electric, we handle electrical panel repairs, replacements, and capacity upgrades for homeowners and small businesses across Wilmington, New Hanover County, and the Cape Fear Region. Whether you’re dealing with breakers that constantly trip, a panel that runs warm, or planning for higher electrical demand (EV chargers, hot tubs, additions), we’ll evaluate your system and recommend practical, code-compliant options.

For larger projects like full panel replacements or service upgrades, we also offer financing options to make the process easier to manage.

Need an electrical panel repair or upgrade? Call (910) 634-5303 or contact us online and ask about our same-day service. We offer a free estimate.

Electrical Panel Services We Provide

We cover the full scope of residential and light commercial panel work, including:

  • Panel repairs and troubleshooting
  • Full panel replacements and service upgrades (e.g., 100A → 200A)
  • Subpanel installations for additions, shops, or detached structures
  • AFCI/GFCI integration where required by code
  • Surge protection at the panel
  • Coordination with utilities and permitting when needed

Need more than a panel? We also handle wiring and rewiring, EV chargers, generators, and emergency electrical services.

How We Work

  1. Assessment and load calculation. We review your current and future usage, and the condition of your existing panel.
  2. Recommendations and pricing. You get straightforward options and transparent pricing.
  3. Scheduling and permitting. We handle logistics, inspections, and coordination.
  4. Installation and clean-up. Licensed, insured electricians complete the work to North Carolina electrical codes.
  5. Walkthrough and warranty. We review the work, answer questions, and outline warranty coverage on labor and parts.

Do You Need an Electrical Panel Upgrade?

Many properties still rely on panels that weren’t designed for today’s electrical loads. If you’ve added HVAC equipment, kitchen appliances, a pool, or an EV charger, your panel may be under strain.

Frequent breaker trips, warm or buzzing panels, and lights that dim when appliances cycle on can all point to an overloaded system. A panel that hasn’t been inspected in decades, or one that still uses fuses, is also a red flag. If you’re unsure, we can take a closer look, identify issues, and walk you through your options.

Planning a Remodel, EV, or Addition? How to Right-Size Your Panel

Future projects often demand more capacity than your current panel can handle. If you're adding a heat pump, hot tub, accessory dwelling unit, workshop, or EV charger, a load calculation helps determine whether a service upgrade, subpanel, or strategic circuit changes make the most sense. We’ll also factor in coastal conditions, surge protection at the panel, and code-driven AFCI/GFCI requirements, so you don’t end up redoing work down the road. This forward-looking approach saves time, reduces rework, and helps you plan projects with confidence.

FAQs

How do I know if my panel is too small for my home?

Will I lose power during the upgrade?

There will be downtime during installation. We’ll review timing and plan around your schedule.

Do I need a permit for a panel upgrade?
