Reliable Subpanel Installation and New Circuits for Outbuildings in Taylors, SC
On May 28, 2024, Touchstone Electric’s Greenville team completed a comprehensive Panels & Service Upgrades project with a focus on Subpanel Installation for homeowner Dave Parker in Taylors, SC. Technicians Ben Lively and Theo Coetsee delivered safe, dedicated power to multiple outbuildings while improving protection and usability throughout the property.
Project Overview
This project added a new outdoor subpanel and dedicated circuits to support a shed, greenhouse, and chicken coop—each with their own 20-amp supply. The team also extended existing branch circuits to new outlets around the home and installed GFCI protection where needed. A professionally excavated trench carried the feeder to the detached structures and included full backfill and cleanup.
- New subpanel to power outbuildings and allow for future expansion
- 150 ft trenching at approximately 18–24 inches in depth for the feeder route
- Grounding system for the separate structure with a driven ground rod
- Dedicated 20A circuits for the shed, greenhouse, and chicken coop
- Extended circuits to four outlets: bidet, hallway, outside TV, and inside TV
- GFCI protection installed at the bidet and on new dedicated circuits as required
What We Installed
Every component was selected and installed to deliver reliable power and long-term safety for the detached buildings and living spaces.
- Outdoor-rated subpanel fed with appropriately sized #6 feeder conductors
- PVC conduit (3/4 inch and 1/2 inch) to protect conductors and keep routes organized
- Driven ground rod with bonding and grounding electrode conductor for the detached structure
- Dedicated 20A branch circuits to the shed, greenhouse, and chicken coop
- New receptacles: standard outlets where needed and a GFCI outlet for the bidet
- Professional trenching and backfill over a 150-foot run to supply the new subpanel
- Annual Home Safety Membership – Gold enrollment to help keep smoke/CO detectors, panel safety, and key electrical connections in check over time
Why This Upgrade Was Right for the Property
- Safer, dedicated power prevents nuisance tripping and overloads when using tools, lighting, or heaters in outbuildings
- Improved protection with GFCI where moisture may be present and a robust grounding system at the detached structure
- Convenience with added outlets for indoor and outdoor entertainment and daily use
- Room to grow with a subpanel that supports future circuits or equipment
