200 Amp Meter Base & Service Replacement in Greensboro, NC

Touchstone Electric’s Raleigh branch completed a comprehensive 200-amp meter base and service replacement for homeowner Cheryl Gilge in Greensboro, NC. Led by technician Cody Perry, this upgrade modernized the home’s electrical service for improved safety, reliability, and future capacity. Date of completion: June 3, 2024.

As a local leader in Panels & Service Upgrades and Meter Base & Service Replacement, our team handled the end-to-end project—from permits and coordination with the utility to final labeling and surge protection.

Scope of Work

Installed a new 200-amp meter/panel combo on the exterior for code-compliant access and serviceability.
Provided a new riser pipe and service entrance conductors from the panel up to the weatherhead and completed the drip loop connection.
Coordinated the power drop with the local utility provider to ensure a safe and efficient service changeover.
Pulled permits and prepared the installation for inspection to meet all applicable codes.
Upgraded the grounding system with ground rods and grounding electrode conductors for better fault protection.
Installed whole-home surge protection to help safeguard sensitive electronics and appliances.
Labeled the new panel so each circuit is clearly identified for easy maintenance and troubleshooting.
Supplied and installed the necessary breakers to complete the panel setup.

Note: This service did not include feeders and conduit to subpanels (if required) or an exterior service disconnect. Upon request, we can also make a temporary generator available for limited power during the outage window.
