Completed Electrical Upgrades in Matthews, NC
Touchstone Electric recently completed a multi-part electrical project for homeowner Blake Giler in Matthews, NC. Led by technician Danny Bishop from our Charlotte team, this service focused on safer power delivery, better convenience, and protection against surges. The project was completed on February 14, 2024.
This job falls under our Outlets & Switches services and Outlet Installation & Repair specialty, with a focus on dedicated circuits and surge protection for long-term reliability.
Project Overview
Our team delivered a clean, code-compliant solution tailored to the home’s layout and power needs. The scope of work included:
- Relocated a quad outlet from one side of a wall to the other for improved access and usability.
- Installed two new 20-amp dedicated circuits to properly support higher-demand devices connected to the quad outlet.
- Relocated a sensor switch to the other side of the room for more intuitive lighting control.
- Furnished and installed whole-house surge protection to help safeguard electronics and appliances from voltage spikes.
The combination of strategic outlet/switch placement and dedicated power greatly reduces nuisance tripping, minimizes overload risks, and enhances day-to-day convenience.
Why These Upgrades Matter
- 20-amp dedicated circuits: Ideal for power-hungry equipment, these circuits reduce overloading and improve performance for tools, appliances, and entertainment setups.
- Whole-house surge protection: Adds a crucial layer of defense at the panel to help protect sensitive electronics and major appliances from damaging power surges.
- Outlet and switch relocation: Places controls and power exactly where they’re needed, improving comfort, accessibility, and furniture placement without relying on extension cords.
Every component was installed with safety and code compliance in mind, supporting a reliable electrical system that’s built for everyday use.
Annual Home Safety Check Included
During this visit, our team also performed a comprehensive safety review as part of an Annual Home Safety Membership – Gold. The checklist included:
- Testing and verifying smoke and carbon monoxide detectors
- Panel safety review and overall electrical safety check
- Reviewing for code updates and best-practice improvements
- Inspecting for loose, worn, or deteriorated connections
