Subpanel Installation and 100A Feeder Wiring in Waxhaw, NC
Touchstone Electric’s Charlotte team, based out of our Matthews branch, completed a clean, code-conscious subpanel installation for Mike Giaimo in Waxhaw, NC. Led by technician Christian Cedillos, this project was finished on May 6, 2025 and delivers reliable new capacity for present and future household power needs.
This service falls under our Panels & Service Upgrades and Subpanel Installation specialties, combining a properly sized feeder, new breaker protection, and neatly routed conduit runs to support major appliances and additional circuits.
Project Highlights
- New subpanel set to expand household capacity and simplify circuit management for dedicated loads.
- 100A feeder using 4‑wire SER #2 cable from the main panel to the subpanel for balanced, grounded power distribution.
- Dedicated appliance hookup for a customer-supplied major appliance, completed during the same visit.
- New 60A breaker installed to protect one of the added circuits and support high-demand equipment.
- Neat PVC conduit runs to safeguard conductors and deliver a durable, tidy finish.
What We Installed
- 40 ft SER #2 (4‑wire) for the 100A subpanel feeder, providing a robust, four-conductor path from the main panel.
- 35 ft THHN #10 (3–4 strand) for 30A circuits serving larger appliances such as electric dryers or water heaters.
- 35 ft THHN #12 (3–4 strand) for 20A circuits dedicated to kitchen appliances, outlets, or other high‑current devices.
- 35 ft of 3/4 in PVC conduit including mounting hardware, connectors, and LBs for protected, professional routing.
- 60A standard breaker added to the service equipment for safe overcurrent protection.
- Major appliance installation with either a dedicated receptacle or hard-wired connection, ensuring a secure final hookup.
By combining THHN conductors in 3/4 in PVC conduit and a properly sized 100A feeder, this setup supports both immediate appliance needs and future expansion—without overloading the main service.
Why This Upgrade Matters
- Added capacity: A 100A subpanel provides room for new dedicated circuits and high-demand equipment.
- Better organization: Critical and appliance circuits are grouped for easier access, labeling, and maintenance.
- Improved reliability: Fresh breakers, new conductors, and protected conduit runs reduce nuisance trips and overheating risks.
- Future-ready: Ideal platform for EV charging, updated kitchen or laundry equipment, HVAC upgrades, and more.
