Touchstone Electric’s Charlotte team, dispatched from our Matthews branch, completed a comprehensive 200A electrical panel upgrade for Vigneault Management in Statesville, NC on August 15, 2024. Lead technician Jamie Fountain oversaw the project from permitting through final inspection to ensure the home’s service equipment is safe, code-compliant, and ready for today’s power needs.
This project falls under our Panels & Service Upgrades and Electrical Panel Upgrades services, tailored for Statesville homeowners and property managers who want reliable power capacity and modern protection.
Scope of Work Completed
- Main service panel replacement: Installed a new outdoor-rated 200A aluminum main panel and brought the system up to current electrical code.
- Grounding and bonding: Properly grounded and bonded the panel to enhance fault protection and overall system safety.
- Service and circuit reconnections: Reconnected the service entrance conductors and all existing branch circuits, with clear, accurate panel labeling for future maintenance.
- Main lug and labeling: Replaced the main lug assembly and provided professional circuit identification for hassle-free troubleshooting.
- Surge protection: Added a whole-home surge protector that includes a $25,000 connected equipment warranty for added peace of mind during storms and utility events.
- New breakers installed:
- 3 × 30A double-pole breakers (ideal for loads such as a dryer, water heater, AC condenser, spa, or EV charging)
- 1 × 50A standard breaker (commonly used for a range, furnace/heat, small subpanel, or EV charging)
- 1 × 60A standard breaker (supports high-demand appliances like larger ranges, heating equipment, subpanels, or EV charging)
- Permitting and inspection: Fully permitted and inspected to local and national electrical codes.
- Power continuity: Utility power was temporarily disconnected for the panel swap; a generator was made available for limited essential loads during the outage.
This installation carries a 20-year transferable warranty on the panel, underscoring our commitment to durable workmanship and long-term reliability.
Why a 200A Upgrade Benefits Statesville Properties

Our Panel Upgrade Process
We start with a detailed assessment of the existing service equipment and loads, then handle permitting and scheduling to minimize downtime. On installation day, our crew safely isolates power, swaps the panel, performs grounding and bonding improvements, and reinstalls circuits with tidy wire management and legible labeling. After internal quality checks, we coordinate inspection and provide the homeowner with documentation of the completed work and warranty details.
