Ceiling Fan & Light Fixture Installation in Hickory, NC

Touchstone Electric’s Charlotte branch completed a lighting and ceiling fan project for homeowner Tom (Thomas) Triplett in Hickory, NC.

This service falls under our Lighting & Ceiling Fans and Lighting Installation categories. Whether you’re replacing fixtures or adding outlets, our Matthews-based team proudly serves Hickory and neighboring communities with professional results.

What We Installed

3 customer-supplied ceiling fan/light fixtures: Installed on existing ceiling boxes and tied into the home’s existing circuits. Fans were mounted securely, wiring connections were tightened, and each unit was tested for proper light and fan operation.
3 standard outlets (receptacles): Provided and installed new receptacles with covers for convenient, code-conscious access to power. Placement and wiring were matched to the needs of the space and existing circuit capacity.
20 feet of NM-B 14/2 Romex cable: Routed to extend or complete branch-circuit connections serving the new devices. 14/2 is appropriate for typical 15-amp lighting and general-purpose outlet circuits.

Because these were customer-supplied fixtures, our team ensured compatibility with the existing boxes and circuits, verified solid support for each fan, and left the workspace tidy upon completion.

Safety, Materials, and Code Considerations

Ceiling fans add comfort and efficiency, but they must be mounted to a properly rated ceiling box and wired with secure, clearly identified connections. Our process focused on reliable support, correct conductor terminations, and careful cable routing.

Proper support: Each fan/light was installed on an existing box designed to handle the load and motion of a ceiling fan.
Correct wiring: NM-B 14/2 cable was used on appropriate 15-amp circuits typical for lighting and general-purpose receptacles.
Neat, accessible splices: Any required junctions were contained in listed boxes with covers.
Verification and testing: Fans and lights were function-tested, and receptacles were checked for proper operation.

The result is a safe, dependable upgrade that aligns with best practices and local code requirements for residential electrical work.
