Electrical Panel Upgrade and Whole-Home Safety Improvements in Lewes, Delaware
February 19, 2026
When these homeowners in Lewes, Delaware called Expert Wire Electrical Service, they had a list of electrical updates they wanted to tackle. What started as a few upgrades quickly turned into a much more important safety conversation.
The Initial Concern
They were looking to:
Update recessed lighting to LED trims
Replace two ceiling fans and add a fan speed switch
Install new LED flood light bulbs
Upgrade their smoke and CO alarm system
Replace a doorbell chime and switch
Swap aging outlets and switches
Clean up unused speaker wiring
During our thorough electrical evaluation, our team discovered:
Several devices partially backstabbed
Outlets showing signs of age
A charred main bus bar inside the electrical panel
That last issue is not something to ignore. A damaged bus bar can lead to overheating and potential safety hazards. This is exactly why a professional evaluation matters.
Protecting what matters most means addressing problems before they become emergencies.
The Solution
After reviewing their options, the homeowners chose a comprehensive electrical upgrade that included:
Installation of a brand-new electrical service
New meter and fireman’s disconnect
Larger, modern electrical panel with new breakers
Whole-home surge protection
Full coordination with the power company and inspection
Replacement of all outlets and switches throughout the home
Installation of 13 new LED recessed trims
Installation of 2 ceiling fans and relocation of 1 existing fan
New smoke and carbon monoxide alarm system
New doorbell chime kit and switch
LED flood light bulb upgrades
Removal of unused speaker boxes
The homeowners supplied their preferred ceiling fans, and our team handled everything else — including coordinating with the utility provider so they didn’t have to manage the logistics.
The result: a safer, more reliable electrical system built to support their home for years to come.

They appreciated how our team — Nate, Dan, Juan, David, and Brian — communicated clearly, stayed on schedule, coordinated with the electrical utility provider, and completed the work without surprises.
