Whole-Home Rewiring and 200A Panel Upgrade in Greer, SC
Touchstone Electric recently completed a comprehensive whole-home rewiring and service upgrade in Greer, SC. Led by technician Viktor Opalko from our Greenville team, this project modernized the home’s electrical infrastructure with a new 200-amp meter/panel combo, a properly installed riser with weatherhead, a midsize indoor subpanel, and updated breakers. The work was permitted, inspected, and completed with thorough testing on March 21, 2025.
Project Overview
The existing electrical system was brought up to current safety and performance standards. Our team:
- Safely disconnected power to begin work and protect the home.
- Removed outdated wiring and re-fished new conductors to devices, outlets, and switches.
- Installed a 200A meter/panel combo with new grounding electrode conductors and ground rods.
- Added a riser with weatherhead using IMC conduit, roof boot, and new service entrance cable.
- Installed a midsize indoor subpanel (12/24 spaces, up to 125A) for organized circuit expansion.
- Pulled a 4-wire SER #2 feeder between the main and subpanel for safe 100A subpanel capacity.
- Reconnected power and performed complete testing and inspection verification.
All permitting and inspection coordination were handled by our team, including scheduling the utility power drop so the upgrade could be completed efficiently and safely.
New Panels, Feeders, and Breakers
- Meter/Panel Combo – 200A: Over/under configuration with feed-through lugs for flexible distribution.
- Riser with Weatherhead: New service entrance path with durable conduit, roof penetration protection, and proper drip loop at the weatherhead.
- Midsize Subpanel (Indoor): 12/24 space panel, up to 125A rating, ready for present and future circuits.
- Feeder: 20 ft of SER #2 (4-wire) cable from the main to the subpanel for a reliable, code-compliant connection.
- Breakers Installed:
- 1 × 15A standard breaker
- 5 × 20A standard breakers
- 1 × 30A double-pole breaker
- 1 × 40A standard breaker
- 1 × 50A standard breaker
This breaker lineup supports typical household needs such as kitchen and small appliance circuits, laundry equipment, HVAC components, and ranges—while leaving room in the subpanel for future additions.
Code Compliance and Safety
Our work adhered to current electrical codes and best practices. As local inspectors implement NEC 2020 requirements, certain circuits may require AFCI protection. AFCI breakers can occasionally reveal preexisting wiring issues (like shared neutrals), which may require diagnostic time to resolve. We evaluate these conditions during commissioning and ensure the final installation is safe, compliant, and dependable.
Every device, outlet, and switch was reconnected and tested. Grounding and bonding were verified, and the service equipment was inspected for proper clearances, torque, and labeling.
Why This Upgrade Matters for Greer Homes
- Safety: New wiring and grounded circuits reduce shock and fire risk.
- Capacity: A 200A service supports today’s power demands and future projects.
- Reliability: Modern breakers and clean circuit organization minimize nuisance trips.
- Resale Value: Documented, permitted upgrades are a meaningful asset for homeowners.
When outages are required for major upgrades, Touchstone Electric can make a generator available for limited power usage upon request, helping keep essential loads running during the work window.
