Professional Crawl Space Lighting & Switch Installation in Charlotte, NC
Touchstone Electric’s Charlotte branch (based in Matthews) completed a crawl space lighting upgrade for homeowner Dustin Seitz on April 12, 2024. Led by technician Chris Rogers, this project added reliable illumination and a convenient wall switch to make the crawl space safer and easier to access for maintenance.
Project overview
Our team installed new crawl space lighting and a wall switch, then routed conduit from a detached panel into the crawl space to deliver a clean, durable power path. The result is a brighter, more functional area that supports inspections, HVAC servicing, storage checks, and moisture management.
What we installed
- New wall switch: A standard switch dedicated to the crawl space lights for quick, safe control at the entry point.
- Two keyless light fixtures: Practical, low-profile lighting designed for crawl space environments to improve visibility and reduce trip hazards.
- Installation upgrade: Routed electrical conduit (up to 6 ft) from a detached panel into the crawl space for a protected, professional-grade wiring pathway.
This setup delivers dependable lighting while keeping wiring organized and shielded, helping extend the life of the installation in a challenging environment.
How we completed the job
- Assessment and planning: Verified the best path from the detached panel and identified ideal fixture locations for even light coverage.
- Conduit routing: Installed a tidy conduit run to protect conductors and provide a clear, serviceable route into the crawl space.
- Fixture mounting: Secured keyless fixtures at practical heights for maintenance visibility while minimizing glare and shadows.
- Switch placement: Positioned the wall switch for easy access so the lights can be turned on before entering the crawl space.
- Testing and cleanup: Confirmed proper operation at the switch, checked connections, labeled as needed, and left the area tidy.
