Outlet, Switch, and Lighting Upgrades in Hickory, NC

Touchstone Electric completed a clean, code‑compliant outlet and lighting refresh for Re-Bath Charlotte in Hickory, NC. Our Charlotte branch team, based in Matthews, handled device replacements, safety upgrades, and new lighting installations to improve reliability, safety, and overall illumination.

Scope of Work Completed

• Replaced three standard light switches for smooth, reliable control of lighting circuits.
• Replaced three receptacles, including a dedicated GFCI outlet where protection is required and standard outlets for general use.
• Installed two wafer can lights for low‑profile, long‑lasting recessed lighting in tight or shallow ceiling spaces.
• Installed one customer‑supplied pendant fixture on the existing box/circuit to enhance task and accent lighting.
• Secured and filed the required electrical permit with the county for code compliance.

Why These Upgrades Matter

• Safety: GFCI protection helps guard against electrical shock in moisture‑prone areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and garages.
• Reliability: Replacing worn or unreliable switches and receptacles reduces nuisance issues like flickering, intermittent power, or loose device connections.
• Better Lighting: Wafer can lights deliver modern, even illumination with minimal ceiling depth, while a pendant provides focused light where it’s needed most.

Code Compliance and Permitting

Our team handled the electrical permit to ensure the work met local codes and inspection requirements. Please note: the permit obtained for this project covered only the electrical scope. Any additional permits that may be required by a jurisdiction—such as historic, environmental, septic, zoning, builder, or other non‑electrical permits—are not included. If additional permits are ever necessary, we identify them and advise on next steps or provide pricing for assisting with those filings.

Installation Notes

• Device replacements were performed on existing circuits and boxes.
• Lighting installations were completed on existing wiring and switching where applicable.
• No new circuits, conduit, or wire runs were included in this scope.
