Ceiling Fan Installation in Matthews, NC + Laundry Room Wafer Lights

Touchstone Electric recently completed a lighting and ceiling fan upgrade for a homeowner in Matthews, NC. Led by technician Danny Bishop from our Charlotte branch, the project included a guest bedroom ceiling fan installation and new recessed wafer lighting in the laundry room. Completed on May 18, 2026, this service was permitted and performed to current code requirements for a safe, professional finish.

Project Overview

The customer, Jane Carft, wanted better comfort in the guest bedroom and brighter, more even lighting in the laundry area. Our team installed a customer-supplied ceiling fan using the existing ceiling box and circuit, then furnished and installed two energy-efficient 6-inch wafer can lights in the laundry room—ideal for low-clearance spaces.

Scope of Work

Guest Bedroom Ceiling Fan: Installed the customer’s fan on the existing junction box and circuit. No new wiring or circuit addition was included.
Laundry Room Lighting: Furnished and installed (2) 6-inch wafer can lights designed for tight or shallow ceilings, delivering long-lasting, uniform illumination.
Electrical Permit Filed: We filed the required electrical permit with the county to ensure the work met local code and inspection standards.

Why Choose Wafer Can Lights for Laundry Rooms?

Low Profile: Perfect for spaces with limited ceiling depth or obstructions.
Even, Glare-Reduced Light: Brightens work surfaces for laundry tasks.
Energy Efficient and Long-Lasting: Modern LEDs help reduce maintenance and energy use.
Clean Look: Minimal trim blends neatly with ceilings for a finished appearance.

Code Compliance and Permitting

As a licensed residential electrical contractor serving Matthews, NC, we prioritize safety and compliance. For this project, our team filed the required electrical permit with the county and coordinated any necessary inspections.

Permit Note: The included permit covers only the electrical permit. If other jurisdictional approvals are required—such as Historic Preservation, Environmental/Septic, Zoning, separate Subcontractor permits, or Builder permits—those are not included. If additional permits are needed, we’ll advise you on next steps and, if requested, provide pricing for processing non-electrical permits.

Our Process and Results

Before installation, we verified the existing fan-rated ceiling box and circuit for the guest bedroom fixture. For the laundry room, we laid out the wafer lights for balanced, shadow-free coverage, then cut precise openings, made secure connections, and tested functionality on completion.

The result is improved comfort in the bedroom and bright, even lighting in the laundry space—delivered with the neat workmanship and courteous service our Matthews customers expect. Jane Carft praised our team with a review following the project.
