Touchstone Electric’s Asheville team completed a ceiling fan and light fixture installation, GFCI outlet upgrades, and permitting for a residential project in Cashiers, NC. The work was finished on June 27, 2026, for our customer, Re-Bath Charlotte. As a residential electrical contractor, we focused on safe, neat workmanship and code-compliant results that fit the home’s existing wiring and layout.
This job was serviced by our local crew from the Hendersonville area, supporting homeowners throughout the Cashiers community with reliable Lighting & Ceiling Fans and Lighting Installation services.
Scope of work completed
- Two fixture installations: We installed two customer-supplied fixtures—one ceiling fan and one light fixture—on existing boxes and circuits. No new wiring or circuits were included.
- Two GFCI outlet upgrades: We replaced two receptacles with GFCI-protected outlets and provided matching covers. This upgrade enhances shock protection in areas where moisture may be present.
- Electrical permit filing: We obtained and filed the required electrical permit with the county for this scope of work.
- Skilled team support: Additional help from an electrician wireman/apprentice ensured an efficient installation and clean finish.
- Return visit coordination: Because the site was not ready during an early visit, our team scheduled a follow-up to complete the installation at the homeowner’s convenience.
Permitting and code compliance
All work was performed to current electrical code standards, including proper fan support and secure terminations on existing circuits. Touchstone Electric filed the electrical permit associated with this project and coordinated timing with the customer to keep the process moving smoothly.
Permit note: The permit covered here is only for the electrical scope. Every jurisdiction is different, and some projects may also require permits such as Historic Preservation, Environmental/Septic, Zoning, Subcontractor, or general Building permits. If additional non-electrical permits are required, we will identify them for the customer and, if requested, provide a separate price for processing and filing those items.
Why these upgrades matter
- Ceiling fan and lighting comfort: A properly supported ceiling fan improves comfort and air circulation while lowering reliance on heating and cooling systems. Installing on an existing fan-rated box ensures a safe, long-lasting result.
- GFCI protection: GFCI receptacles monitor current imbalance and trip quickly to reduce shock risk, which is especially important near sinks, outdoors, or other damp locations.
- Clean, finished look: Professionally installed fixtures and devices sit flush, operate quietly, and are labeled clearly—details that elevate both safety and appearance.
