Kitchen Electrical Upgrades Completed in Denton, NC

Touchstone Electric’s Charlotte branch, based in Matthews, completed a comprehensive kitchen electrical upgrade for homeowner Troy Fales in Denton, NC. Led by technician Ben Lively, this project brought the remodeled kitchen up to current standards, added much-needed outlets and circuits, and enhanced lighting throughout the space. Date completed: December 27, 2024.

With the kitchen layout changing—most notably the oven moving to the island with a hood fan above it—our team adjusted wiring, added dedicated circuits, and refined outlet placement to match the new design and the homeowner’s needs.

Scope of Work: Outlets, Circuits, and Lighting

Rewired kitchen outlets to support the updated layout and reliable everyday use.
Added two outlets in the island for small appliances and charging, plus one additional outlet for the gas cooktop igniter.
Installed a dedicated circuit for the disposal to ensure consistent operation.
Refed the dishwasher circuit and brought the installation up to code, including a properly placed switch under the sink.
Provided a circuit for the hood fan to serve the new island cooking area.
Moved wiring to the island after the oven relocation to keep power exactly where it’s needed.
Supplied and installed an AC disconnect for safe and compliant service shutoff.
Installed lighting, including a hanging kitchen fixture and a keyless fixture in the hot water heater closet for maintenance visibility.

These upgrades ensure the remodeled kitchen has safe, dependable power for cooking, cleanup, and everyday tasks—without overloading existing circuits.

Remodel-Ready Power for an Island Oven and Hood

Relocating an oven to the kitchen island requires careful planning. Our team rerouted wiring to the island, added the circuits the new appliances demand, and provided a dedicated feed for the hood fan above. The result is a clean, functional setup that supports ventilation, cooking performance, and convenient access to power right where it’s used most.

Safety, Compliance, and Attention to Detail

Kitchen upgrades are about more than convenience—they’re about safety. We brought the dishwasher installation up to code with a correctly positioned under-sink switch and provided a proper AC disconnect for safe servicing. Throughout the project, wiring methods and device placement were selected to align with current electrical standards and the updated kitchen layout.

Lighting Improvements for Work and Maintenance

We hung a new light in the kitchen to improve task lighting and comfort. In the hot water heater closet, we installed a keyless fixture to make maintenance and quick inspections easier and safer.
