Touchstone Electric’s Matthews-based Charlotte team recently completed a clean, code-compliant lighting and outlet upgrade for Re-Bath Charlotte at a property in Mint Hill, NC. Led by technician Cash Divver, this project focused on replacing decorative light fixtures and safely expanding an existing hot tub circuit with new receptacles. Work was completed on April 15, 2026.
If you’re planning a lighting refresh or need safe power where you need it most, our Lighting & Ceiling Fans specialists deliver reliable lighting installation services across Mint Hill.
Project Highlights
- Fixture replacements: Swapped out two customer-supplied pendant lights and one chandelier on existing boxes and circuits for an instant style upgrade.
- Outlet additions on existing hot tub circuit: Installed one GFCI receptacle and two standard outlets to provide protected, convenient power.
- New wiring: Ran approximately 20 feet of NM-B 12/2 Romex to extend the 20-amp branch circuit safely and neatly.
- Permitting handled: Filed the electrical permit and performed work in accordance with current electrical code requirements.
All fixture mounting, terminations, and device connections were performed to manufacturer specifications and best practices, with careful attention to support, bonding, and conductor protection.
Why GFCI Protection Matters Near Water
Hot tubs and similar outdoor or damp-area circuits require ground-fault protection for safety. A GFCI outlet rapidly cuts power if an imbalance is detected, helping reduce shock risk. Placing a GFCI at the first outlet on the run provides downstream protection to additional receptacles, which is exactly how we designed this upgrade.
Using 12-gauge NM-B (12/2) on a 20-amp circuit ensures the wiring matches the circuit’s ampacity. Our team also confirmed secure terminations, correct polarity, and a solid equipment grounding path before restoring power.
What to Expect With Our Lighting Installation Service
- Careful removal and replacement: We protect your space, remove old fixtures, and mount new lights level and secure.

Permit note: This project included the electrical permit.

We’ll let you know if anything else is required and can help you navigate next steps.
