Kitchen Electrical Repairs and Troubleshooting in Huntersville, NC
On 2025-01-29, Touchstone Electric’s Charlotte branch (based in Matthews) dispatched technician Ben Lively to complete kitchen electrical repairs and troubleshooting for Amanda Melnick in Huntersville, NC. The visit was scheduled to correct issues that caused a failed inspection and to finalize electrical connections after new cabinetry and countertops were installed.
This project is a great example of how our team steps in after remodeling work to make sure kitchen power, lighting, and safety details are restored and ready for the next inspection.
What the Inspector Cited
The kitchen had several items flagged during inspection (Defect Codes: 22/64/A9). The inspector’s notes included:
- Missing pendant lights
- No power to receptacles feeding the kitchen
- Missing receptacle covers within cabinets and on island receptacles
With cabinets and countertops now in place, our task was to complete the final hookups, restore circuit functionality, and address the missing fixtures and covers.
Our Troubleshooting and Repair Process
Ben began with methodical troubleshooting to locate the source of the power loss to the kitchen receptacles. After verifying circuit continuity and device wiring in affected boxes, he restored power and confirmed correct operation at each receptacle.
- Restored power to kitchen receptacles: Traced the circuit, corrected the issue causing the outage, and verified consistent power at each device.
- Installed pendant lights: Mounted and connected the missing pendants per the kitchen layout, ensuring secure support and clean terminations at the ceiling boxes.
- Added receptacle covers: Installed device covers at cabinet and island locations to provide a finished, safe installation and proper enclosure of wiring.
- Final checks: Tested switches and receptacles for proper operation and polarity, confirmed secure connections, and tidied the work area.
By addressing each item on the inspection list, the kitchen now has working task lighting, energized receptacle circuits, and completed device covers—key details inspectors look for after a remodel.
