Electrical Panel Upgrade and Whole-Home Safety Improvements in Lewes, Delaware

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.
