The 125 Frederick property currently operates on a 100 Amp electrical service which encompasses the main house, shed, sunroom, dance studio, and guest house. In an effort to enhance the electrical infrastructure and ensure adequate power distribution, an upgrade to a 400 Amp service is proposed. Post-upgrade, the main house will be allocated 100 Amps exclusively. The existing sub-panel box will remain intact; however, the electrical circuits extending to the shed, sunroom, and guest house will be decommissioned and rerouted as necessary.
Tasks
Electrical Assessment: Conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the current electrical system to determine the specific requirements for the upgrade.
Permit Acquisition: Secure all necessary permits from local authorities for the electrical upgrade and any construction work.
Service Upgrade: Engage a certified electrician to upgrade the service to 400 Amps, including the installation of new cables and breakers as required.
Circuit Rerouting: Remove the existing circuits that supply the shed, sunroom, and guest house and establish new dedicated circuits from the upgraded panel.
Safety Inspection: After the upgrade, perform a thorough inspection to ensure all work complies with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local regulations.
Documentation: Update all property electrical schematics to reflect the changes made during the upgrade.
Acceptance Criteria
The main house must have a dedicated 100 Amp service post-upgrade.
All work must comply with the NEC and local building codes.
The upgrade must pass all required inspections by the local authority having jurisdiction.
The electrical system's functionality and safety must be verified and certified by a licensed electrician.
Updated electrical schematics must accurately represent the new configuration of the electrical system.
Story Points
This task is estimated at 8 story points, reflecting the complexity and the coordination required with various stakeholders, including electricians, local authorities, and inspectors.
