MODERN PANEL WITH SURGE PROTECTION
Touchstone Electric modernized Everette Hill's electrical panel in Brevard, NC. Chris and his team replaced the panel and main lug, labeled the new panel, grounded and bonded the equipment, reconnected service entrance cable and existing circuits, and installed a warranty-backed surge protector.
- Panel and main lug replaced with code-compliant equipment
- Grounding and bonding completed for safer operation
- Existing circuits and service entrance cable reconnected
- Permitting, inspection, and temporary generator support coordinated
Panel modernization should improve safety, labeling, reliability, and future serviceability. When surge protection is added at the same time, the home gains another layer of protection for appliances and electronics. This work connects to electrical panel upgrades and inspection-ready installation planning.

Panel replacement needs outage planning
Replacing a panel often means temporary power disconnection, circuit transfer, labeling, inspections, and utility coordination. Planning the outage and temporary power options helps reduce disruption while the safety work is completed.

Code Compliance
The outdated panel was replaced and prepared for local inspection requirements.
Grounding and Bonding
The new panel was grounded and bonded to support safer fault response.
Circuit Reconnect
Existing circuits and service entrance cable were reconnected carefully to maintain function.
Temporary Power
A generator was provided for limited use during the planned outage.

- Replace panel and main lug with modern code-compliant equipment.
- Label the panel for safer future maintenance and troubleshooting.
- Install a warranty-backed surge protector at the panel.
- Coordinate permits, inspection, outage timing, and limited generator use.
The source project included panel replacement, a new main lug, panel labeling, grounding and bonding, service entrance cable reconnection, existing circuit reconnection, and a $10,000 warranty surge protector. Breakers, service disconnect, feeder, and meter upgrades were outside the defined scope.
Everette Hill praised Chris and his team and said he would recommend Touchstone to neighbors. For similar work, Touchstone Electric can review panel condition and provide inspection and code compliance support before replacement begins.
