Our Greenville team, serving the Greer, SC area from our Taylors branch, helped homeowner Ron White refresh his space with a safe and stylish dining room light upgrade and added everyday convenience in a nearby hobby closet. On April 24, 2025, electricians Aaron Smith and Tyler Harris completed a clean, code‑conscious installation that modernizes lighting and adds useful power access where it’s needed.
Primary category: Lighting & Ceiling Fans | Secondary category: Lighting Installation
Project overview
- Safely removed the old dining room light and installed a new UL‑listed ceiling box for a solid, long‑term mount.
- Hung and wired a customer‑supplied light fixture on the existing circuit.
- Added two standard, tamper‑resistant outlets inside a hobby room closet for tools, chargers, and small appliances.
- Ran approximately 10 feet of 14/2 NM‑B cable with a junction box as needed, neatly routed and secured.
- Tested operation, grounding, and polarity to verify safe performance.
Whether it’s a chandelier, pendant, or flush mount, a proper ceiling box and secure support are essential for safety. For the new receptacles, correct cable selection, protection, and termination ensure dependable power and reduce nuisance trips or loose connections down the road.
How we completed the work
- Preparation: Protected the work areas, verified the existing lighting circuit, and confirmed capacity for the added receptacles.
- Dining room upgrade: Removed the previous fixture, set a sturdy ceiling box, and mounted the customer’s new light per manufacturer specifications. Connections were made with approved connectors, and the fixture was leveled and tested.
- New outlets in the hobby closet: Installed two standard receptacle boxes and ran roughly 10 ft of 14/2 NM‑B cable on a 15‑amp lighting/general‑use circuit. Cable was supported at required intervals and secured at boxes before terminating tamper‑resistant receptacles with matching cover plates.
- Quality checks: Verified correct voltage, polarity, and grounding, then conducted a final function test so the homeowner could see everything working before we cleaned up.
