Lighting Installation & GFCI Circuit Upgrade in Piedmont, SC

Touchstone Electric’s Greenville team, based in Taylors, completed a turnkey lighting and safety upgrade for a bathroom project in Piedmont, SC. On January 6, 2026, our technician, Tyler Harris, delivered code-compliant wiring for new lighting controls, installed fixtures, and added a dedicated, GFCI-protected circuit to power a walk-in tub.

Project overview

For customer Re-Bath Charlotte, we modernized the bathroom’s lighting and ensured the new hydro fixture was supported by a safe, properly sized electrical circuit. The scope blended our Lighting & Ceiling Fans expertise with dedicated circuit installation and permitting support for a smooth, inspection-ready result.

Ran new switch legs for a bathroom fan, chandelier, and two recessed can lights
Upgraded from a single-gang to a 3-gang electrical box to accommodate the new controls
Installed three new standard switches for intuitive, individual control
Added a dedicated 20-amp GFCI-protected circuit for the walk-in tub
Filed and managed the electrical permit with the county

What we installed and why it matters

Lighting & ventilation controls: By running new switch legs and upgrading to a 3-gang box, each fixture now has its own switch. This improves daily usability, reduces energy waste, and gives the homeowner precise lighting scenes for grooming, bathing, and relaxation.

Dedicated 20A GFCI circuit for the walk-in tub: Hydro and walk-in tubs require robust, safely protected power. We installed NM-B 12/2 cable on a 20-amp GFCI breaker to provide the required capacity and ground-fault protection, helping safeguard the space where water and electricity are in close proximity.

Fixture setup: The bathroom fan, chandelier, and recessed can lights were placed on appropriate lighting circuits using NM-B 14/2 cabling. This keeps lighting loads properly separated from the new tub circuit and supports reliable performance for years to come.

Code compliance and permitting

Our team handled the electrical permit so the project would pass inspection and stay aligned with local requirements. If a jurisdiction ever requires non-electrical permits (for example, historic preservation or environmental approvals), we advise clients on those next steps and can help coordinate the process as needed.
