About this 200 Amp Panel Upgrade in Taylors, SC
Touchstone Electric’s Greenville team completed a comprehensive 200A copper service upgrade in Taylors, SC on August 5, 2026. This project combined a new service riser with weatherhead, a 200 amp meter–panel combo, a 4‑wire SER feeder, a new indoor copper main panel, and a thorough electrical cleanup. It’s a great example of our Panels & Service Upgrades and Meter Base & Service Replacement expertise for Taylors homeowners.
What we upgraded and installed
- New meter–panel combo (200A copper, feed‑thru): We coordinated the power drop with the utility, handled permitting, and installed a modern meter/panel combination with proper grounding and bonding to bring the service up to current standards.
- Service riser with weatherhead: Installed IMC conduit from meter base to weatherhead with roof boot and straps, along with new service entrance cable for a clean, weather‑tight installation.
- 4‑wire 4/0 SER feeder: Ran a copper 4‑wire service entrance cable to properly feed downstream equipment, supporting balanced loads and a dedicated equipment grounding path.
- New indoor 200A copper main panel: Replaced the aging panel with a copper main panel, updated labeling, grounded and bonded the panel, reconnected the service conductors, and reconnected existing circuits to current best practices.
- Breaker updates for key circuits: Installed a mix of new breakers sized for common household loads, including:
- 17 × 20A standard breakers (small appliance and general circuits)
- 3 × 30A double‑pole breakers (dryer, water heater, A/C, spa, EV, etc.)
- 1 × 40A standard breaker (appliance/HVAC load as required)
- 2 × 50A standard breakers (range, heat, small subpanel, EV, etc.)
- Electrical cleanup: Tidied up panel wiring, ensured correct terminations, verified torque, and organized circuits for safety and serviceability.
- PowerCare Membership added: Enrolled the home in our ongoing maintenance program, including annual safety checks and a panel tune‑up for continued reliability.
Built for safety, capacity, and future needs
A 200 amp copper service gives Taylors homeowners the headroom to run modern appliances, HVAC equipment, and future additions like an EV charger without overloading the system. Copper conductors and terminations provide solid, long‑lasting connections and help reduce heat buildup at lugs and breakers.
Our upgrade brought the service equipment into alignment with current code requirements. As inspectors adopt newer editions of the NEC, they may require upgrades such as AFCI protection on certain circuits. In some older homes, adding AFCI can reveal pre‑existing conditions (for example, shared neutrals) that require troubleshooting. Our team is prepared to diagnose those issues and deliver compliant, reliable solutions.
Permits, utility coordination, and inspection
We handled the permitting, scheduled the utility disconnect/reconnect, and prepared the system for inspection. During the outage window, we can make limited temporary power options available upon request to minimize disruption while we complete the service work and testing.
