Why Upgrade to a 200A Electrical Panel?

Many Greenwood homes are adding higher-demand loads such as upgraded HVAC equipment, kitchen remodels, hot tubs, workshops, and future EV charging. A 200-amp panel provides the available capacity and space to power these additions safely while reducing nuisance breaker trips. The upgrade also modernizes the home’s electrical backbone, bringing it in line with current safety standards and providing room for dedicated circuits where needed. With the integrated whole-home surge protector, sensitive electronics and modern appliances gain an added layer of protection during utility events and storms common in South Carolina.

Outlet Safety Improvements in Greenwood Homes

Receptacles experience wear over time, and outdated devices may no longer deliver reliable protection. We replaced worn devices and removed a failed GFCI, installing new tamper-resistant outlets that help prevent foreign objects from being inserted—an essential upgrade for homes with children or frequent guests. Where a GFCI was removed due to failure, the device was replaced with code-compliant solutions to restore safe operation. These small upgrades reduce the risk of shock, improve contact tension for better appliance performance, and enhance overall reliability across the circuit.

Circuit Restoration and Safety Verification

As part of our Annual Home Safety Membership – Gold checklist and the Circuit Restoration service, we tested device connections, verified breaker labeling, and ensured terminations were tight and secure. Our review included checks of smoke/CO detector operation and a panel safety inspection. Any loose or deteriorated connections discovered were addressed to help prevent hotspots and intermittent faults. The result is a cleaner, safer, and more dependable electrical system that’s ready to serve the home for years to come.
