Project overview
Touchstone Electric’s Charlotte team completed a clean, code-conscious upgrade for homeowner David Petrovski in Charlotte, NC. On October 23, 2023, lead electrician Danny Bishop furnished and installed a new 60-amp subpanel by the main panel at the back of the home, added whole-home surge protection, and extended a circuit to provide a new outlet where power was needed. This job falls under our Panels & Service Upgrades expertise, with a focus on Subpanel Installation.
Handled by our Charlotte branch, operating from our Matthews location, this project expanded available circuit capacity, improved power quality, and delivered a safer, more reliable setup for everyday use and future needs.
Scope of work
- 60A Subpanel Installation: Furnished and mounted a 60-amp subpanel adjacent to the main panel at the rear of the home, providing organized space for new branch circuits and simplified future additions.
- Whole-Home Surge Protection: Installed a service-level surge protective device designed to reduce damaging voltage spikes from storms and utility events.
- 25-ft Circuit Extension & New Outlet: Extended a non-dedicated circuit up to 25 feet and installed a new outlet for convenient, code-compliant access to power.
Every connection was carefully landed, tightened, and labeled, with grounding and bonding verified for proper operation and safety.
Why this upgrade matters
- Room to grow: A 60A subpanel adds breaker spaces for future circuits without overloading the main panel.
- Protection for your home: Whole-home surge protection helps defend sensitive electronics and appliances against transient voltage events.
- Convenience and safety: A professionally extended circuit and new outlet provide reliable power access while maintaining best practices for routing, securing, and termination.
Together, these improvements create a robust foundation for present demands and potential upgrades, while emphasizing neat workmanship and long-term reliability.
Our installation approach
- Assessment & planning: Verified panel capacity, selected an appropriate subpanel location near the main service, and mapped the circuit extension path to minimize disruption.
- Neat, organized wiring: Conductors were routed cleanly with proper support, torqueing, and labeling to simplify future service and troubleshooting.
- System verification: Performed function checks on the subpanel, outlet polarity, and surge protector indications to confirm proper operation.
The result is a tidy installation that supports future circuit additions and enhances whole-home protection.
