Project overview
Touchstone Electric completed a professional ceiling fan installation and light fixture wiring in Durham, NC for A&R Remodeling and Construction. The work was performed by our Raleigh branch on 2024-11-08, with technician Jack Mannino leading the install. This project focused on a clean, code-compliant connection to the home’s existing lighting circuit to deliver quiet comfort and reliable illumination.
As a local residential electrical contractor serving the greater Durham, NC area, we ensure every lighting and ceiling fan project is completed safely, neatly, and to current electrical standards.
Scope of work
- Installed a customer-supplied ceiling fan on an existing fan/light box and circuit.
- Completed light fixture wiring on the same existing 15‑amp lighting circuit.
- Ran approximately 40 feet of NM-B 14/2 Romex to tie into the existing circuit path as needed.
- Included a compliant junction box where required for splices, with tidy, labeled terminations.
- Tested operation for correct fan speeds, smooth start-up, lighting function, and proper switching.
The installation did not require a new circuit; instead, our team extended the existing circuit with neat routing and secure terminations to keep the project efficient and minimally invasive.
Clean, code-compliant wiring
Our electricians follow National Electrical Code (NEC) best practices on every job. For this Durham installation, 14/2 NM-B cable was used appropriately on the 15‑amp lighting circuit, with all splices contained in accessible junction boxes and proper grounding throughout. Connections were tightened to manufacturer torque guidance, and conductors were organized for clear identification and future serviceability.
- Proper cable support and protection for new wiring runs
- Secure mounting into an appropriate ceiling box for fan support
- Correct conductor terminations, including equipment grounding
- Functional testing of fan settings and lighting controls
The result is a quiet, stable fan and dependable lighting that meet safety standards and look great in the finished space.
