Technician on site: Will Cruz. Category: Outlets & Switches | Secondary: Outlet Installation & Repair.

Scope of Work Completed

Relocated two standard receptacles: Moved existing outlets to updated locations and installed new covers. Verified correct wiring and reliable operation after relocation.
Converted a 2‑gang box to a single‑gang: Downsized the box to match the new layout for a cleaner finish and better usability.
Added a junction for continuous power: The single‑gang box beneath the former 2‑gang location was configured as a junction point, ensuring all connected outlets maintained steady, continuous power.
Replaced a standard light switch: Installed a new switch on the existing circuit and confirmed proper switching function.
Installed a customer‑supplied light fixture: Mounted and wired the fixture to the existing box/circuit for a polished final look.

After installation, our technician performed checks to confirm the outlets, switch, and fixture operated as intended, with secure connections and tidy finishes at each device location.

Why This Work Mattered

Improved layout: Relocating outlets placed power exactly where it’s needed for furniture and electronics.
Consistent power: The added junction maintained proper feed‑through so downstream receptacles stayed energized.
Cleaner appearance: Downsizing to a single‑gang eliminated an unused opening and simplified the wall plate configuration.
Reliable lighting control: A fresh switch and properly installed light fixture provide dependable, everyday use.
Professional craftsmanship: Neat terminations, secure mounting, and thorough function testing help ensure long‑term performance.
