About this panel rejuvenation in Charlotte

Touchstone Electric’s Charlotte branch, supported by our Matthews team, completed a comprehensive Electrical Panel Rejuvenation & Tune-Up for homeowner Dilip Pandya in Charlotte, NC. Led by technician Ben Lively, this service-focused visit on January 13, 2025 addressed cleanliness, connection integrity, moisture protection, and safety testing to help the home’s electrical system operate reliably.

Scope of work completed

Panel cleaning: Vacuumed and wiped the interior to remove dust, debris, and surface rust coloring on components before reassembly.
Connection re-tensioning: Checked and snugged terminations at the ground lug, bus bars, main breaker, and branch breakers to manufacturer-recommended tightness.
Ground/neutral verification: Confirmed that the ground and neutral bars are correctly separated and that each lug contains only one conductor, as required by typical panel listings.
Moisture and intrusion inspection: Looked for signs of water entry and sealed open knockouts to reduce the risk of arcing, drafts, and critter intrusion.
Service voltage check: Verified the incoming voltage at the panel to ensure proper delivery from the electrical provider.
Antioxidant application: Applied antioxidant compound to applicable conductors as needed to help mitigate oxidation at terminations.
AFCI/GFCI testing: With customer consent, tested Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupter and Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter breakers to confirm proper operation.
Breaker care: Wiped rust discoloration from breakers and reinstalled them securely after inspections and testing.
Labeling updates: Reviewed and updated the circuit directory as needed for clear, accurate identification.
Finish restoration: Sanded and repainted the panel cover to help slow surface rust and improve appearance.

To ensure an efficient turnaround and detailed workmanship, Ben was assisted by an electrical apprentice during portions of the visit.
