This customer’s load centers were installed in their pantry and have experienced excessive damage from painting and corrosion.  In addition, the panels were overloaded with to many circuits and incorrect or damaged circuit breakers were being used.

Panel A:

Panel B:

The load centers were removed and a new load center was installed in the basement.  Junction boxes were installed where the old load centers were located, and new wiring was ran down into the basement to the new panel.

While moving the wires down to the basement, the importance of using nail guards on BOTH sides of a stud became evident.  The main service cable was found to have a nail running right into the middle of it.

A beautiful new panel was installed in the basement.  Leaving ample room for growth while also eliminating the many dangers that were present with the other panels.
