Project overview
Touchstone Electric’s Charlotte team completed a full-home rewiring with a new 200 amp indoor main panel for homeowner Frank Giles in Charlotte, NC. This comprehensive upgrade modernized the home’s electrical system from end to end, improved safety, and prepared the property for today’s power demands. Work was fully permitted and inspected for code compliance, with final completion on June 2, 2026.
Technicians on site: Hunter Cox, Danny Bishop, Dylan Romero, and Ash Ashirin.
Scope of work completed
- Whole-home rewiring (approximately 1,100 sq ft): Safely disconnected power, removed outdated wiring, installed new wiring, reconnected devices, and restored power.
- New 200 amp indoor main panel: Installed, grounded, bonded, and neatly labeled circuits to align with current code requirements.
- New meter can: Installed to support the upgraded service.
- New standard white devices: Replaced and standardized outlets and switches throughout the home for a clean, consistent finish.
- Permitting and inspections: Obtained the electrical permit, coordinated with local inspectors, and passed final inspections.
- Drywall care: Made only minimal access cuts to fish new wiring and replaced cut pieces; homeowner spackle and paint recommended after completion.
- Testing and verification: Confirmed correct wiring, device function, and proper labeling at the panel before sign-off.
For comfort and safety during extensive rewiring, we schedule work blocks when the home is unoccupied and power can be safely shut off. Our crew coordinated closely with the homeowner to minimize downtime and keep the project moving efficiently.
Code compliance and safety
As part of this upgrade, our team brought the service and panel up to current code, ensured proper grounding and bonding, and labeled circuits for easy identification. Where required by the inspector or applicable code, we evaluated device and breaker needs (including AFCI/GFCI) and aligned the installation accordingly. The project was completed under an electrical permit and received inspection approval in Charlotte, NC.
What this upgrade means for the home
- Reliability: A modernized service and panel reduce nuisance issues and support present-day appliances and electronics.
- Safety: New wiring, properly grounded and bonded equipment, and standardized devices help protect the home and its occupants.
