200A Electrical Panel Upgrade and Breaker Replacement in Jackson Springs, NC
Touchstone Electric completed a comprehensive Panels & Service Upgrades project for Gary Scott in Jackson Springs. On June 29, 2024, our Charlotte branch (based in Matthews) replaced the home’s main electrical panel with a new 200-amp indoor unit and installed new breakers for safer, more reliable power. This Electrical Panel Upgrade also included grounding and bonding to current code, whole-home surge protection, permitting, and county inspection scheduling—all handled by our team.
Technician: Christian Cedillos | Service Area: Jackson Springs, NC
What We Replaced and Installed
We removed the aging equipment and installed a modern 200A aluminum indoor main panel, bringing the system up to current electrical code. Our team labeled the new panel for clarity and reconnected the service entrance cable and all existing branch circuits. During the outage, we made a generator available for limited power usage to keep essential items running.
- Main Panel – 200A (indoor): Grounded and bonded, circuits reconnected, main lugs updated, and panel fully labeled.
- Surge Protection: Installed a whole-home surge protector that includes a $25k warranty on covered equipment.
- Breakers Replaced:
- 6 × 20A standard breakers for small appliance circuits
- 4 × 15A standard breakers for bathroom lighting and general-purpose circuits
- 2 × 30A standard double-pole breakers for larger loads such as a dryer, water heater, air condenser, spa, or EV charger
Every connection was carefully secured and verified to support dependable performance under daily load and during seasonal high-demand periods.
Code Compliance, Grounding, and Bonding
Safety and compliance were central to this upgrade. We grounded and bonded the new panel to meet today’s standards and verified integrity of the service entrance connections. Labeling ensures quick identification for future service, and the overall system configuration now supports safer operation and easier maintenance.
Permitting and Inspection Included
Our team filed the electrical permit and coordinated the relevant county inspections. This ensures the installation is verified by local authorities and provides peace of mind that the work aligns with current Jackson Springs and North Carolina requirements for residential electrical systems.
Whole-Home Surge Protection for Added Reliability
We included a whole-home surge protector to help defend sensitive electronics and appliances from power spikes. This installation includes a $25k warranty on covered equipment, offering an extra layer of confidence during storms and grid fluctuations common in our region.
