100A Subpanel Installation with Feeder & Trenching in Taylors, SC
Our Greenville branch completed a code-compliant 100-amp subpanel installation for homeowner Shirley Brown in Taylors, SC. Led by technician Tyler Harris, this project included underground trenching, PVC conduit, and a THHN feeder pull to safely expand electrical capacity for future circuits and dedicated loads. Completed on September 6, 2024, the work was performed to National Electrical Code standards with careful attention to safety, durability, and long-term reliability.
Scope of Work
- 100A Subpanel Installation: Added a subpanel to support additional branch circuits and provide organized capacity for present and future electrical needs.
- Feeder Pull: Installed approximately 135 feet of THHN #4 conductors (3–4 strand) to supply the subpanel with a robust 100-amp feeder.
- PVC Conduit: Installed 70 ft of 3/4-inch PVC conduit and 65 ft of 1-inch PVC conduit, including appropriate fittings, connectors, and LBs for a clean, protected run.
- Trenching: Performed 65 feet of trenching at 12-inch depth to accommodate underground conduit routing in accordance with the installation plan. Note: utility locate via 811 is required prior to digging.
- New 50A Breaker: Added a 50-amp breaker in the service panel for a dedicated circuit as part of the upgrade work.
- Panel Space Optimization: Installed two 20A tandem breakers to serve small-appliance circuits while maximizing available panel space.
- Major Appliance Connection: Provided receptacle or hard‑wired connection for a customer-supplied major appliance (breaker/disconnect/feeder excluded from this line item).
- Additional Crew Support: A licensed wireman assisted to keep the project on schedule and ensure an efficient installation.
Quality, Safety, and Code Compliance
Touchstone Electric delivers residential upgrades that stand the test of time. For this Taylors project, our team ensured proper conductor sizing, conduit layout, and secure terminations. We follow subpanel best practices, including correct isolation of neutrals and equipment grounding conductors where required, and confirm torque settings and labeling for clear identification.
Whenever trenching is involved, we emphasize safety first. Homeowners must contact 811 before any digging so utilities can be located and marked. Our installation approach protects feeders from physical damage, minimizes exposure to moisture, and supports reliable power distribution to downstream circuits.
