Project overview
Our Greenville team completed an outlet installation and wiring project for a fireplace feature wall in Moore, SC. Led by technician Tyler Harris, the work wrapped up on March 11, 2025 and focused on adding power exactly where the homeowner needed it: two new receptacles in the lower cabinets flanking the fireplace and one dedicated outlet above the mantle to serve a wall-mounted TV.
This service falls under our Outlets & Switches and Outlet Installation & Repair specialties, delivered by our Taylors-based branch serving the greater Moore and Greenville areas.
What we installed
- 3 Standard Receptacles: Two outlets installed in the lower cabinets adjacent to the fireplace and one outlet positioned over the mantle for an over‑mantle TV. Each includes a clean, finished cover and professional installation.
- 50 ft of 12/2 NM‑B Romex: Durable cabling suitable for 20‑amp residential circuits to support higher‑demand devices. This line item included the cost of any necessary junction box; it did not include a breaker or additional device installations beyond the listed receptacles.
Because the wall was receiving full coverage with a new structure, our team could carefully open the drywall to set boxes at the correct heights, route the 12/2 cable with neat, secure runs, and ensure a clean finish ready for the homeowner’s final wall treatment.
Focused approach for the over‑mantle TV outlet
Routing power above a fireplace requires careful planning. Our technician paid special attention to clearances, box placement, and cable path to power the TV without visible cords. The result is a convenient, dedicated receptacle over the mantle that supports a streamlined, cord‑free look once the TV is mounted and the wall is finished.
Benefits for the homeowner
- Cleaner aesthetics: Hidden wiring and a purpose‑placed outlet over the mantle make mounting a TV simple and tidy.
- Better usability: Outlets in the lower cabinets power streaming devices, sound systems, or accent lighting without running extension cords.
- Future‑ready power: 12/2 NM‑B cabling provides capacity for typical 20‑amp residential circuits, supporting a range of electronics and accessories.
