Touchstone Electric’s Raleigh team recently completed an Outlets & Switches project for A&R Remodeling and Construction in Raleigh, NC. On December 3, 2024, technician Jack Mannino installed two new dedicated 20-amp circuits with breakers, upgraded outlets (one GFCI and one standard), and added a smart dimmer switch in the living room. The work is backed by our lifetime craftsmanship warranty for lasting peace of mind.
This job falls under our primary service category, Outlets & Switches, with a specialty in Outlet Installation & Repair—ideal for homeowners and contractors in Raleigh seeking safe power distribution and modern lighting control.
What We Installed on This Project
- Two dedicated 20-amp circuits with new standard 20A breakers for reliable power to higher-demand devices.
- 120 ft of 12/2 NM-B wiring to route the new circuits cleanly to their destinations.
- 25 ft of wire fishing to pull cable through finished areas with minimal disruption.
- One GFCI outlet for enhanced protection against ground faults.
- One standard outlet for everyday convenience and added capacity.
- One smart dimmer switch (living room) for adjustable light levels and connected control.
Why Dedicated 20-Amp Circuits Matter
Dedicated 20-amp circuits help prevent nuisance tripping, voltage drop, and overloaded lines when powering appliances and other higher-current devices. By assigning specific equipment to its own circuit and breaker, you improve reliability, reduce wear on electrical components, and create a cleaner path for current flow throughout the home.
Safety-First Outlet Upgrades
GFCI outlets are engineered to rapidly cut power when they detect an imbalance in current, helping reduce the risk of electric shock. Pairing a GFCI with a standard outlet gives you the right outlet in the right place, balancing safety and everyday usability where you need it most.
Comfort and Control with a Smart Dimmer
The installed smart dimmer adjusts the voltage supplied to the light fixture, allowing smooth dimming to set the perfect ambiance in the living room. It can be controlled remotely using a smartphone or tablet, and can integrate with popular voice assistants. Beyond comfort, smart dimming can support energy efficiency and enhance home security by enabling scenes and schedules.
Clean Routing in Finished Spaces
Our Raleigh electricians used professional wire-fishing techniques to pull cable through finished walls and tight spaces, helping keep surfaces intact and the project tidy. The combination of new 12/2 NM-B cable and careful routing ensures durable, discreet results that blend with the home’s existing layout.
