- Evaluating the installation locations and verifying the existing electrical conditions for the appliances.
- Installing a dedicated appliance receptacle or completing a safe hardwire connection for the dishwasher, based on the appliance requirements.
- Installing a dedicated appliance receptacle or completing a safe hardwire connection for the microwave.

Per the agreed scope, this visit did not include adding or replacing a breaker, installing a disconnect, or running a new feeder.
Why Proper Appliance Wiring Matters
Kitchen appliances draw sustained power and must be connected correctly to protect the home and the equipment. A professionally installed receptacle or hardwire connection helps ensure:
- Safety: Secure terminations and correct grounding reduce the risk of overheating and faults.
- Reliability: Appliances start and run smoothly without nuisance trips or flickering.
- Code awareness: Installations follow current best practices appropriate for Charlotte, NC homes and projects.
- Clean, finished look: Receptacles and wiring are placed neatly to support the kitchen’s design.
