Upgraded an ungrounded bathroom outlet to GFCI: Swapped an ungrounded baseboard outlet for a GFCI device to provide safer power in the bathroom.
Prepared for Level 2 EV charger installation: The customer is supplying the charger; our team coordinated the next steps to complete the install as soon as the unit is on-site.
Light fixture installation pending: We will return to install the customer-supplied light fixture once it arrives.
Duke rebate assistance: Touchstone Electric initiated the application to help the homeowner pursue available rebate savings for the EV charger upgrade.

Why GFCI protection matters

Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlets are designed to quickly cut power if an imbalance is detected, helping reduce the risk of electric shock. Kitchens and bathrooms are two of the most common locations where GFCIs are recommended because water and electricity are often in close proximity. By replacing kitchen receptacles and upgrading an ungrounded bathroom outlet to GFCI, this Charlotte home now benefits from modern, code-aligned protection.

Level 2 EV charger readiness with rebate support

Level 2 charging offers faster, more convenient at-home charging compared to standard outlets. For this project, our team coordinated preparations and paperwork so that as soon as the customer’s charger arrives, we can complete the installation efficiently. As part of the service, Touchstone Electric began the Duke rebate application process for the homeowner to help maximize potential savings associated with the EV upgrade.
