NEC Electrical Code Changes for Suffolk County Homes What homeowners should know before upgrading, renovating, or repairing electrical systems.

 

 

SERVICE UPGRADES — MAJOR CODE CHANGE The 2023 National Electrical Code now requires meter-main combinations for many residential service upgrades. This means the main electrical disconnect is now typically installed on the exterior of the home rather than inside the panel. This change increases materials, coordination, and overall scope of work and applies differently depending on whether the project involves a renovation, repair, or full electrical service change. If you are planning a service upgrade or electrical work that affects your main service, contact Seafield Electric at 631-804-1129 to ensure your project meets current code requirements.

 

EXPANDED ARC-FAULT PROTECTION (AFCI) AFCI breakers are now required in more areas of the home. Existing circuits that are extended or modified often must be AFCI-protected. AFCI devices help reduce the risk of electrical fires by detecting arc faults that standard breakers may not identify. If you are renovating or modifying circuits and want to confirm AFCI requirements, contact Seafield Electric at 631-804-1129.

 

WHOLE-HOME SURGE PROTECTION Modern homes rely on sensitive electronics, HVAC systems, and smart devices that are vulnerable to electrical surges caused by utility events, storms, and internal load changes. Whole-home surge protection helps safeguard your entire electrical system.
