EV Charger Installation and Surge Protection in Fuquay-Varina, NC
On February 6, 2026, our Raleigh branch completed a multi-scope electrical project for homeowner Adrienne Johnston in Fuquay-Varina, NC. Lead technician Francisco Martinez installed a Level 2 EV charger on a dedicated 60-amp circuit, added whole-home surge protection at the main panel, and installed a customer-supplied ceiling fan. We pulled the required electrical permit and backed all workmanship with our Signature Lifetime Craftsmanship Warranty.
- Level 2 EV charger installation (customer-supplied unit)
- New 60A breaker and dedicated circuit
- Panel-mounted whole-home surge protective device
- Ceiling fan installation on existing box/circuit
- Electrical permit secured with the county
Level 2 EV Charger: Safe, Fast Charging on a 60A Circuit
To support reliable Level 2 charging, we installed a new 60-amp breaker and ran appropriately sized THHN #6 conductors (approximately 15 feet, 3–4 conductors as required), ensuring proper ampacity and compliance with local code. The circuit was neatly routed in 3/4-inch EMT conduit (approximately 10 feet) with all fittings and supports secured for a professional, code-compliant finish.
- Dedicated circuit: Prevents nuisance tripping and maximizes charging performance.
- Correct wire sizing: Helps manage heat and voltage drop for efficient charging.
- Clean, serviceable install: Conduit and labeling for a tidy, easy-to-maintain setup.
- Appliance connection: Receptacle or hardwired per manufacturer specifications.
This configuration provides dependable daily charging while preserving capacity for future EV needs.
Whole-Home Surge Protection for Sensitive Electronics
We added a panel-mounted surge protective device (SPD) to help safeguard the home’s electrical system and connected equipment from power spikes caused by lightning activity, utility fluctuations, or large appliances cycling on and off. The SPD diverts excess voltage safely to ground before it can damage your wiring and electronics.
- Protection at the source: Installed at the main panel to intercept surges.
- Extend equipment life: Reduces cumulative surge wear on appliances and electronics.
- Manufacturer coverage: Includes a $10,000, 3-year coverage for eligible “covered equipment” in the unlikely event of device failure; claims are secondary to the homeowner’s insurance and exclude direct lightning strikes.
- Typical covered items: Major appliances, HVAC components, wiring, outlets/switches, and hardwired lighting when properly protected; security systems and medical equipment are excluded.
Combined with our craftsmanship warranty, this layered protection helps keep Fuquay-Varina homes safer and more resilient.
Ceiling Fan Installation
Our team installed the customer’s ceiling fan on the existing, fan-rated box and circuit, verifying secure mounting, correct rotation, smooth operation across speeds, and proper light functionality.
Permitting and Code Compliance
For this project, Touchstone Electric filed and pulled the electrical permit with the county, following the applicable NEC requirements and local amendments. The scope included the electrical permit only; if a project requires non-electrical permits (such as zoning or specialty permits), those are handled separately as required by the jurisdiction.
