Kitchen Can Light & Bathroom Exhaust Fan Installation in Durham

Touchstone Electric’s Raleigh branch recently completed a focused lighting and ventilation upgrade for homeowner Lenore Behar in Durham, NC. Led by technician Patrick Burke, the project included replacing an aging kitchen light with a modern can light and installing a customer-supplied bathroom exhaust fan. The work featured clean drywall cuts, a careful duct tie-in, and a safe wiring hookup to the existing power—delivering a neat finish and reliable performance.

Project Overview

Completed on October 29, 2024, this service call addressed two practical home updates that improve everyday comfort and efficiency:

Kitchen Can Light Replacement: We removed the existing kitchen fixture and installed a new recessed can light. The scope included the fixture and its installation. No new circuit or additional wiring was included.
Bathroom Exhaust Fan Installation: We removed the old fan housing, made clean drywall cuts, reworked and tied into the existing ductwork, and connected the new, customer-supplied fan to the existing power source. The scope did not include running new power or replacing ductwork.

The result is a brighter, more evenly lit kitchen and a bathroom that exhausts moisture more effectively—both completed with careful attention to detail and respect for the home.

What We Did

Assessment and Preparation: Verified the existing fixture locations, protected surrounding surfaces, and outlined precise cut lines for a clean look.
Kitchen Can Light Install: Removed the old fixture, mounted the new recessed can, and connected it to the existing wiring for dependable operation.
Bathroom Fan Upgrade: Removed the outdated unit, carefully enlarged the opening as needed, reworked the duct to ensure a solid tie-in, and securely connected the customer’s fan to the existing power.
Clean Finish: Kept drywall cuts tidy, secured all terminations, and ensured the fixtures were seated and operating as intended.

By reusing existing circuits and ducting within the scope, we provided a cost-effective upgrade while maintaining a clean, professional finish.
