Main Disconnect Replacement, Pass-Through Panel Upgrade & Surge Protection – Naples, FL

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: MAIN DISCONNECT & PANEL UPGRADE WITH SURGE PROTECTION – NAPLES, FL

Coharbor Electric recently completed a garage-based electrical service in Naples, FL 34120. The job involved replacing the existing main disconnect, upgrading the pass-through panel, modernizing the grounding system, and installing a whole-home surge protector for long-term safety and reliability.

WHAT WE DID:

Replaced the outdated main disconnect with a new, code-compliant model
Installed a new pass-through panel to improve circuit distribution
Updated the home’s grounding system to meet NEC standards for safety
Added a whole-home surge protector at the panel to protect appliances and electronics
Worked exclusively in the garage to avoid triggering the armed house alarm
Verified proper operation of all circuits and labeled updates in the electrical directory

THE RESULT:
The home now has a safer, more reliable electrical system with modern protection features. The upgraded grounding ensures better fault protection, while the surge protection defends against voltage spikes from storms or utility events. The new main disconnect and panel setup provide improved functionality and compliance with current codes.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How long did the project take?
The full replacement and upgrades were completed in one day, including testing and documentation.

Why was the grounding system updated?
The existing grounding did not meet modern NEC standards, so we upgraded it to provide better safety against electrical faults.

What does surge protection do?
The whole-home surge protector defends all circuits, appliances, and sensitive electronics from damaging power surges.

Can you perform this type of work without disabling alarms?
Yes, in this case, all work was performed in the garage with the house alarm armed, preventing any security interruptions.

Will this upgrade help during storms?
Definitely. Surge protection reduces the risk of damage from lightning or utility surges, common in Florida’s stormy climate.
