Call 855-502-2244Touchstone Electric’s Raleigh team completed a comprehensive service upgrade for Pool Scouts of the Greater Triangle Area, focused on reliability, safety, and everyday convenience. This residential project in Raleigh, NC included updating critical service equipment, adding a dedicated kitchen circuit to support a countertop appliance, installing a new garage outlet, and correcting damaged electrical boxes near the stove.
Project overview in Raleigh, NC
As part of a Panels & Service Upgrades project, our licensed electrician, Patrick Burke, replaced the service riser and feeder wires to improve the integrity of the home’s electrical supply. In the kitchen, we added a dedicated 20A circuit specifically for a toaster oven, providing ample capacity and reducing nuisance tripping on shared kitchen circuits. We also installed a second receptacle within an existing garage gang box to expand usable power in the workspace. Finally, we repaired two broken device boxes—one on each side of the stove—to ensure safe device mounting and secure cover plates.
- Service equipment updates: Replaced the electrical service riser and feeder conductors for dependable power delivery.
- Dedicated kitchen circuit: Installed a 120V, 20A GFCI-protected small appliance circuit for the toaster oven, clearly labeled at the panel.
- Garage outlet addition: Added a standard receptacle in the existing gang box to improve convenience and access to power.
- Box repairs near the stove: Corrected two broken device boxes for safe, code-compliant device mounting and proper cover fitment.
Date completed: April 29, 2024
