Professional Lighting Installation and Dimmer Upgrades in Charlotte, NC
On May 23, 2026, the Touchstone Electric Charlotte team completed a clean, code-safe lighting upgrade for homeowner John Maupin in Charlotte, NC. Our electricians — Dylan Romero, Cash Divver, and Mark Viktorovich — installed a customer-supplied fixture, added four smooth-operating dimmer switches, and carefully fished new wiring through finished walls to preserve the home’s finished look.
Serviced by our Matthews location for the greater Charlotte, NC area, this project highlights our attention to detail, safety, and a seamless finish without open-wall remodeling.
Project Scope and What We Installed
- New wiring: 45 feet of NM-B 14/3 cable installed to support the updated lighting controls and fixture locations.
- Wire fishing through finished walls: 15 feet of careful pulls through hard-to-reach spaces to keep surfaces tidy and disruptions minimal.
- Fixture installation: Mounted and wired a customer-supplied ceiling/pendant/chandelier fixture on an existing, supported box.
- Four dimmer switches: Installed and configured for smooth light level control in 2-way or 3-way applications as needed.
- Same-day savings: A $49 service call refund was applied when the estimate was approved on site.
Before completion, our team verified box support, conductor terminations, and device function, then tested each switch and fixture for proper operation and safe performance.
How We Achieved a Clean, Code-Safe Result
Lighting upgrades in finished spaces require careful planning. We mapped the cable paths, selected discreet access points, and used professional wire-fishing techniques to route conductors with minimal disturbance. All work followed current electrical standards, with meticulous terminations and labeling to support future service.
The result is a polished appearance and dependable controls that enhance comfort, ambiance, and day-to-day usability — without compromising safety.
