Recessed Lighting Install & Switch Replacement in Anderson, SC
Touchstone Electric recently completed a lighting upgrade for Steve & Cheryl Miller in Anderson, SC. On September 23, 2024, our technician Tyler Harris arrived from our Greenville team (Taylors branch) to replace two faulty dimmer switches with modern paddle switches and to install a new recessed can light in the kitchen.
This project falls under our Lighting & Ceiling Fans and Lighting Installation services, helping homeowners improve safety, convenience, and the overall look of their spaces.
Scope of Work
- Switch Replacement: Removed two failing dimmer switches and installed standard paddle switches suitable for 2-way, 3-way, or 4-way control where applicable.
- Kitchen Recessed Light: Installed a new can light fixture and completed a clean, professional fit and finish.
All work was performed using proper shut-off, verification, and testing procedures to ensure safe, code-compliant operation.
What We Fixed and Why It Matters
Flickering or unreliable dimmers can indicate worn components or compatibility issues that affect both performance and safety. Replacing these with quality paddle switches restores consistent operation, provides a familiar on/off action, and reduces nuisance issues like buzzing or intermittent lighting.
Upgrading the kitchen with a recessed can light enhances brightness and eliminates shadows, improving visibility for cooking and everyday tasks. Recessed fixtures keep the ceiling line clean while delivering focused, even illumination right where it’s needed most.
Our Process
- Verified circuit labeling, shut off power, and confirmed de-energized conductors.
- Removed the existing dimmers, inspected box fill and conductor condition, and made secure terminations for the new paddle switches with proper grounding.
- Installed the can light fixture, ensuring a neat ceiling opening, secure mounting, and a flush trim for a finished look.
- Restored power and tested all functions to confirm smooth switching and bright, even kitchen lighting.
The result is a safer, simpler switching experience and a kitchen that feels brighter and more functional—without the visual bulk of older fixtures.
