Our Charlotte branch dispatched Viktor Opalko to Shay Montes’s Rock Hill home to complete a permitted 200 amp meter/panel combo replacement, a new main electrical panel with updated breakers, grounding upgrades, and a whole-home surge protection system. Completed on April 29, 2025, this project was covered by our Signature Lifetime Craftsmanship Warranty.
As a local residential electrical contractor serving Rock Hill and the greater Charlotte area from our Matthews location, Touchstone Electric ensured the job was coordinated with the utility, inspected to local code requirements, and finished with clean workmanship.

Code, Inspection, and Important Notes
- Work was permitted in Rock Hill and coordinated with the utility for a safe service change.
- As local inspectors implement NEC 2020, some circuits may require AFCI breakers. In homes with shared neutrals or other pre-existing conditions, AFCIs can trip until issues are corrected, sometimes requiring detailed troubleshooting.
- During the outage window, a generator can be made available for limited power usage upon request.
- Surge protector coverage is secondary to existing insurance and excludes direct lightning strikes; see equipment terms for covered devices.
