Project overview
Touchstone Electric’s Raleigh team completed a safety-focused electrical upgrade for Jennifer Lawrence in Raleigh, NC. On 03/30/2026, technician Gustavo Peralta installed a 20-amp GFCI breaker, ran new 12/2 NM-B cable for a dedicated 20-amp circuit, and added a standard outlet to deliver safer, code-compliant power where it’s needed.
What we installed
- 20A GFCI breaker: Provides ground-fault protection for the entire circuit, a smart choice for locations that may serve bathrooms, laundry rooms, garages, home exteriors, crawl spaces, basements, dining areas, and other spaces requiring enhanced protection.
- Approximately 20 feet of 12/2 NM-B cable: A durable copper cable suitable for 20-amp branch circuits powering select kitchen appliances, general-purpose outlets, and other higher-demand devices. This line item includes the cost of any necessary junction box for the run.
- Standard receptacle with cover: A clean, reliable outlet install designed to integrate with the new 20-amp circuit for dependable everyday use.
This service aligns with our Panels & Service Upgrades expertise and our Circuit Breaker Repair & Replacement solutions, helping homeowners stay safe and up to date with modern electrical standards.
Why GFCI protection and a dedicated 20A circuit matter
- Shock protection: GFCI breakers monitor current flow and quickly trip when a ground fault is detected, helping reduce the risk of electrical shock.
- Whole-circuit coverage: Installing GFCI at the breaker can protect all downstream outlets on that circuit, streamlining protection across multiple locations.
- Right-sized power: A dedicated 20-amp circuit with 12-gauge wiring supports higher-current loads and helps maintain reliable performance for everyday devices.
- Code-conscious installation: Our Raleigh electricians complete work with a focus on safety and code compliance for lasting peace of mind.
