Reliable Outlet, Switch & Circuit Installation in Charlotte, NC
Touchstone Electric’s Charlotte branch (Matthews) completed a comprehensive outlets, switches, and dedicated circuit installation for GJK Remodeling, LLC as part of a residential renovation in Charlotte, NC. Led by technician Ben Lively, this project focused on safe, code-conscious power distribution for kitchen and bath upgrades, plus convenience features like timer and occupancy switches. Completed on June 30, 2025, the work supports modern appliances and improves everyday usability throughout the home.

- Fixture installations: Installed customer-supplied fixtures (ceiling fans/lights) on existing boxes and circuits to complete the finished look.
- Team support: An additional electrician wireman assisted to keep the schedule on track and coordinate with ongoing remodeling.
Safety, Code Considerations, and Smart Controls
Bathrooms and kitchens demand special attention to protection and load management. GFCI-protected receptacles and correctly sized dedicated circuits help reduce the risk of trips and electrical hazards while ensuring appliances like steam showers, jetted tubs, and microwaves perform as intended. Occupancy sensors and programmable timer switches add convenience, energy savings, and a layer of security by automating lights.
During this Charlotte remodel, our team also relocated wiring as walls moved and layouts changed—vital steps to keep switching intuitive, comply with spacing requirements, and make sure final finishes look clean and intentional.
