In this video, we’re in Hiawatha upgrading an outdated Eaton Cutler-Hammer style panel, adding a whole-home surge protector, new arc fault GFCI breakers, and multiple new outlets to protect the entire electrical system.
We explain the importance of proper panel maintenance, how to identify dangerous configurations, and what you need to know about breaker compatibility, neutral bars, and mechanical connections.
