Project overview in Jacksonville, NC
Our Raleigh branch completed a multi-part electrical project for Peggy Holland in Jacksonville, NC on April 29, 2025. Technician Francisco Martinez relocated a chandelier with a new circuit and wall switch, installed a dedicated 30-amp circuit and breaker for a customer-supplied water heater, and performed diagnostic troubleshooting on an outdoor light post. This service combined our Lighting & Ceiling Fans expertise with precise circuit installation and safe, methodical diagnosis.
What we did
- Chandelier relocation and control: Repositioned a customer-supplied chandelier to align with the room layout and added a properly placed wall switch for convenient control.
- New lighting wiring: Ran NM-B 14/2 cable to support the updated chandelier location and switch, ensuring tidy routing and secure terminations.
- Dedicated water heater circuit: Installed a 30-amp, 240-volt dedicated circuit for a customer-supplied water heater using NM-B 10/2 copper cable to match the appliance load.
- Breaker installation: Added a new 30A double-pole breaker in the service panel and labeled the circuit for clear identification and future maintenance.
- Appliance connection: Completed a safe, code-conscious hookup for the water heater on the new dedicated circuit.
- Outdoor light post diagnosis: Performed step-by-step testing to identify circuit and fixture issues affecting the light post and provided recommendations to the homeowner.
- Testing and cleanup: Verified proper operation of the chandelier, switch, and water heater circuit, and left the work areas neat.
