Bull City Loft — 200A Service Upgrade
Downtown Durham loft conversion needed a 200A service to support a heat pump, induction range, and Tesla wall connector on the same panel.
The owners of this 1920s warehouse loft conversion called us after their second nuisance trip in a week — the original 100A panel was at 92% calculated load before the EV charger they wanted to add.
We pulled the meter with Duke Energy on a Tuesday morning, swapped to a 200A service with a square-D QO panel and 22 labeled circuits, added whole-home surge protection, and had the inspector signed off by 5 PM the same day. Total downtime for the residents: 6 hours.
