Project Spotlight: Electrical Safety Upgrade in Georgetown, DE

When Jessica from Georgetown, DE called Expert Wire, she was dealing with a few common but serious electrical issues—bathroom outlets that suddenly stopped working and discoloration on outlets near her baseboard heaters. These are signs every homeowner should take seriously.

Our licensed electricians performed a full electrical safety inspection and found:

The bathroom outlets were offline due to a failed breaker.

Her electrical panel was over 40 years old and part of the discontinued Challenger panel line—known for reliability concerns and no longer available on the market.

We recommended a full electrical panel replacement and service upgrade to bring the home up to modern safety standards.

Here’s what we completed:

+ Replaced the outdated meter pan with a new meter/disconnect combo

+ Installed a 200 amp, 40+ space panel with all new breakers

+ Included whole-home surge protection and up to 10 specialty breakers

+ Upgraded the grounding system and added a ground bridge

+ Scheduled and passed a third-party electrical inspection

The result: A safer home and a relieved homeowner who can now enjoy peace of mind knowing her electrical system is up to code.

If your home still uses a Challenger panel, or you're noticing electrical issues like tripping breakers or non-working outlets—don’t wait.
