200A Main Electrical Panel Replacement in Boiling Springs, SC

Touchstone Electric completed a code-compliant 200-amp main panel replacement for homeowner Paulette Johnson in Boiling Springs, SC. Performed by our Greenville business unit from the Taylors branch, this project was finished on May 20, 2025, by technicians Aaron Smith and Tyler Harris. The upgrade improves safety, capacity, and surge protection while preparing the home for future electrical needs.

Project Overview

Our team removed the aging outdoor panel, installed a new 200A aluminum outdoor-rated main panel, and ensured the system met current code requirements. Power was temporarily disconnected during the changeover, and we coordinated the outage to minimize disruption. As part of a comprehensive service, we handled permitting and arranged inspection for a smooth, compliant upgrade process.

Scope of Work and Components

Main panel replacement: Installed a new 200A outdoor-rated aluminum main panel, properly grounded and bonded, with clearly labeled circuits. Reconnected the service entrance and existing branch circuits.
Surge protection: Integrated whole-home surge protection included with the panel package, featuring a connected-equipment warranty of up to $10,000.
Service conductors: Utilized XHHW 4/0 stranded conductor (20 ft) appropriate for wet locations and conduit to ensure reliable service wiring where needed.
Breaker upgrades and organization:
- Two 100A two-pole breakers dedicated for subpanels.
- Two 30A double-pole breakers for major loads such as a dryer, water heater, air condenser, spa, or EV charger.
- One standard 20A breaker for small appliance circuits.
- One 20A tandem breaker to safely consolidate compatible circuits while maintaining code compliance.
Crawlspace work: Completed necessary wiring tasks in the crawlspace while the feed was safely off.
Skilled crew support: In addition to our lead electricians, a wireman/apprentice assisted to keep the project efficient and on schedule.

Code Compliance, Permitting, and Inspection

All work was performed to current standards with permitting and inspection included. As local inspectors continue implementing NEC 2020, some homes may be required to add AFCI protection on certain circuits. If an inspection calls for AFCI upgrades, our team can diagnose preexisting conditions (such as shared neutrals) that may cause nuisance tripping and provide a clear path to resolution.

Results for the Homeowner

The upgraded 200A service delivers improved reliability, safer fault protection, and capacity for present and future loads. With organized labeling and a modernized panel, routine maintenance and troubleshooting become simpler. The included whole-home surge protection adds an important layer of defense for sensitive electronics and appliances.

The installed panel carries a 20-year transferable warranty, offering added confidence for long-term performance.
