Project overview in Fort Mill, SC
Touchstone Electric’s Charlotte branch (based in Matthews) completed a permitted, inspected electrical upgrade for SunSouth Carolinas in Fort Mill. On September 9, 2025, technician Will Cruz installed a customer-supplied ceiling fan with a new fan-rated box and wall switch, added two new outlets, and upgraded the panel with both GFCI and standard breakers to meet current electrical code.
What we installed
- Ceiling fan installation: Mounted a customer-supplied fan on a new, properly supported fan-rated ceiling box and added a dedicated wall switch for convenient control.
- Two standard outlets: Installed new receptacles with matching covers, neatly finished and tested for correct polarity and grounding.
- GFCI protection: Added a 20-amp GFCI breaker in the service panel to provide code-compliant protection for receptacle circuits where required.
- Lighting circuit upgrade: Installed a 15-amp standard breaker to properly protect the lighting branch circuit.
- New wiring runs: Pulled new NM-B cable to extend power safely and cleanly to the fan and outlets, with secure terminations in approved junction boxes.
- Electrical permit and inspection: Secured the electrical permit and coordinated the inspection with the local authority in Fort Mill, SC.
Materials and code-focused details
- NM-B Romex 12/2 (approx. 50 ft): Used on 20-amp branch circuits to ensure proper ampacity for higher-load receptacle runs.
- NM-B Romex 14/2 (approx. 50 ft): Used on 15-amp lighting/general-purpose circuits per code requirements.
- 20-amp GFCI breaker: Introduces ground-fault protection from the panel, a smart safety upgrade for areas where moisture may be present and where GFCI protection is required.
- 15-amp standard breaker: Provides proper overcurrent protection for lighting circuits and standard 15-amp runs.
- Standard receptacles with covers: Clean, safe terminations; devices secured to boxes and verified with function and safety tests.
- Fan-rated ceiling box and standard switch: The fan box is designed to support dynamic loads; the switch gives simple, reliable control of the new fixture.
All work was completed with attention to neatness, labeling, and compliance with current electrical standards. Our focus on correct wire sizing, secure mounting, and panel protections helps ensure long-term, reliable performance for this Fort Mill property.
Permits, inspections, and what’s included
This project included filing the electrical permit and coordinating the inspection. Every jurisdiction is different, so the permit included here covers the electrical portion of the work only. If a project requires non-electrical permits (such as zoning, historic preservation, environmental/septic, general building, or separate subcontractor permits), those would be separate. When those situations arise, we advise the customer on next steps and can provide pricing to process additional permits if needed.
