200-Amp Electrical Panel Replacement in Fayetteville, NC
Touchstone Electric completed a full 200-amp electrical panel upgrade for a homeowner in Fayetteville, NC. This project replaced the existing main panel with a new indoor aluminum-bus electrical panel, helping bring the home’s electrical distribution system up to current code requirements while improving organization, safety, and capacity for existing circuits.
Our Raleigh branch team, including Joseph Portillo and Cody Perry, pulled the required permit and completed the panel installation with permitting and inspection included in the scope of work. During the planned power outage, Touchstone Electric made a generator available for limited power use.
New Main Panel, Grounding, Bonding, and Circuit Reconnection
The main panel replacement involved removing the previous panel equipment and installing a new 200-amp aluminum-bus panel. Our electricians reconnected the service entrance cable and existing branch circuits, installed and labeled the new panel, and completed the required grounding and bonding work.
A properly installed electrical panel is the central point for safely distributing power throughout the home. Replacing an aging or overloaded panel can provide a cleaner layout for circuits, support household electrical needs, and create a better foundation for future electrical improvements.
- New 200-amp indoor aluminum-bus main electrical panel
- Grounding and bonding of the electrical panel
- Reconnection of the service entrance cable and existing circuits
- New panel labeling for clearer circuit identification
- Permit and inspection coordination included with the project
Breaker Installation for Existing Home Circuits
As part of this Fayetteville electrical panel upgrade, the Touchstone Electric team installed breakers sized for the home’s existing electrical loads and circuit needs. The completed work included breakers for higher-demand equipment as well as standard branch circuits serving appliances, lighting, and other areas of the home.
- Two 50-amp standard breakers
- Two 30-amp double-pole breakers
- Two 30-amp single-pole breakers
- Thirteen 20-amp standard breakers
- One 15-amp standard breaker
- One 100-amp two-pole breaker for a subpanel
Electrical code requirements can vary based on the home’s existing wiring and the inspector’s requirements. Where applicable, newer code standards may call for AFCI protection on certain circuits. Our electricians evaluate the panel and connected circuits carefully when completing this type of upgrade.
Whole-Home Surge Protection Installed
In addition to the panel replacement, Touchstone Electric installed a whole-home surge protection system at the main panel. Whole-home surge protection helps defend connected electrical equipment and electronics from damaging voltage spikes that can occur from utility activity, storms, or electrical events inside the home.
The installed surge protection system includes a $10,000 protection warranty for three years. Adding surge protection during a panel replacement is an efficient way to add another layer of protection for major appliances, electronics, and other connected equipment throughout the home.
Panel Warranty Coverage
This completed installation includes Touchstone Electric’s Signature Lifetime Craftsmanship Warranty. The new aluminum-bus panel also includes a 20-year transferable warranty. These coverages provide added confidence in the workmanship and panel equipment selected for this Fayetteville home.
