Project overview: quad outlet installation and receptacle repair in Charlotte, NC
Our Charlotte branch completed a residential outlet service for homeowner Amy Lovett in Charlotte, NC. Led by technician Brian Cain, the visit focused on adding power capacity with a new quad receptacle and correcting a loose wire for a safe, code-compliant finish. Completion date: October 31, 2023.
As a Matthews-based team serving the greater Charlotte area, Touchstone Electric delivers reliable, neat, and properly tested installations for outlets and switches, from simple repairs to full upgrades.
Scope of work
- Supplied and installed a new quad outlet and electrical box to provide four convenient plug-in points at one location.
- Secured a loose wire by installing an approved junction box and cover, restoring proper enclosure and strain relief for the conductors.
- Provided a standard receptacle and cover per project specifications. The device item does not include wiring; all terminations were completed using existing or newly installed conductors in accordance with code.
This combination of improvements increased available receptacle capacity, corrected a safety concern, and ensured the installation met local electrical code requirements.
What this means for your home
- More capacity where you need it: A quad receptacle is ideal for workstations, entertainment areas, and countertop appliances—no more juggling power strips.
- Improved safety: A properly installed junction box fully contains wire splices and minimizes the risk of arcing or accidental damage.
- Clean, professional finish: Matching device and cover plate, secure terminations, and correct mounting height align with best practices and code.
- Future-ready: The new box and device layout make any future maintenance or upgrades more straightforward.
Our outlet installation and repair process
Every outlets and switches project begins with a quick assessment of the existing wiring, box fill, grounding, and circuit capacity. For this Charlotte service call, Brian verified circuit integrity, selected the correct box for a quad device, and ensured solid conductor terminations with the proper torque and polarity. After installing the junction box to contain the previously loose wire, he fitted covers and performed functional testing to confirm a reliable result.
Before wrapping up, we reviewed the work area for cleanliness and provided basic usage and safety tips for the new receptacle location.
