Recessed Lighting & Ceiling Fan Installation in Charlotte, NC
Touchstone Electric completed a turnkey lighting and fan upgrade for DeRhodes Construction (Amen Corner Construction, LLC) in Charlotte, NC. This Lighting & Ceiling Fans project, delivered by our Charlotte branch based in Matthews, brought modern illumination, quiet ventilation, and reliable switching to multiple interior spaces. Completed on January 12, 2026, the work included permits and inspections for a smooth, code-compliant finish.
Project Highlights
- 12 recessed wafer can lights (6-inch) installed to create even, low-profile illumination ideal for rooms with limited ceiling space.
- Ceiling fan upgrades with new fan-rated boxes and installation of customer-supplied fans for safe, stable operation.
- Bathroom exhaust fan/light combo to improve ventilation and visibility in the bath.
- New switches and dimmers across key locations, giving precise control over brightness and ambiance.
- New outlets and device updates for everyday convenience and reliability.
- Electrical permits and inspections included to ensure full compliance with local codes in Charlotte, NC.
What We Installed
- 12x Fixture Install: 6-inch wafer can lights for the master bedroom and adjacent areas, delivering long-lasting, energy-efficient lighting.
- 2x Ceiling fans: Customer-supplied fixtures mounted on new, properly rated fan boxes.
- 1x Bathroom exhaust fan/light can unit: Clean install for improved airflow and lighting.
- 3x Standard switches + 3x Dimmer switches: Flexible control, including 2-way/3-way/4-way functionality as needed.
- 2x Standard receptacles: New outlets with clean covers for a finished look.
- 1x 15-amp GFCI breaker: Added protection for applicable lighting or damp-area needs.
- Approximately 300 ft of NM-B 14/2 wiring: Routed neatly to serve lighting circuits and devices.
Our team also completed several custom electrical tasks to fit the project’s layout and finish preferences, including the installation of a customer-supplied vanity light fixture and a dedicated hallway can light as part of the overall lighting plan.
Code-Compliant Work, Clean Finish
Every fan was mounted to a fan-rated box to support dynamic loads and meet safety standards. The wafer-style recessed lights bring contemporary brightness while fitting shallow ceiling cavities, minimizing drywall disruption and trim lines. New dimmer controls allow the homeowner or builder to dial in the right mood and reduce energy use when full output isn’t needed. A GFCI-protected breaker adds another layer of safety where code requires enhanced protection.
Permits and inspections were handled by Touchstone Electric, ensuring the installation aligns with the latest electrical codes and Charlotte-area requirements. We coordinated the scope with the general contractor to keep the project on schedule and deliver a polished result.
