200-AMP Main Panel Replacement & Disconnect Installation – Naples, FL

Project: 200-AMP Main Panel Replacement & Disconnect Installation – Naples, FL

We finished up an electrical upgrade at a home in Naples. The main breaker panel was an older 200-amp unit that just wasn’t up to current code anymore, so it had to be replaced. The job included swapping the panel, putting in a new disconnect by the meter, tightening up the grounding system, and adding surge protection for the whole house.

What We Did

We pulled the old 200-amp breaker panel and installed a new 200-amp main lug panel. Right by the utility meter, we added a 200-amp disconnect so the homeowner (or emergency crews) can shut off power quickly if they ever need to. The grounding setup wasn’t where it needed to be, so we brought it up to NEC standards. On top of that, we added a whole-house surge protector to the new panel—this helps protect appliances and electronics from sudden spikes. We handled permits, dealt with the utility company, and got everything inspected before closing out the job.

The Result

The home now has a solid, up-to-code electrical service. With the new disconnect, updated grounding, and surge protection, the system is safer and more reliable. The homeowner can feel good knowing their setup is built to last and protected from electrical faults and surges.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why was the main panel replaced?
The old one was outdated and didn’t meet modern codes. A new panel keeps the home safe and ensures power is distributed properly.

What’s the point of the new disconnect?
It makes it easy to cut power fast—during storms, emergencies, or just when maintenance needs to be done.

Why update the grounding?
The previous grounding didn’t meet NEC requirements. Good grounding protects against shock hazards and stabilizes the system.

What does the surge protector do?
It protects the home from sudden voltage spikes that could fry appliances, HVAC equipment, or electronics.

Was this work inspected?
Yes. We pulled the permits, coordinated with the utility provider, and the job passed inspection.
