Whole-House Surge Protector and Lighting Install in Charlotte, NC

Touchstone Electric completed a multi-part electrical project for Charlotte homeowner Royce Guin, delivered by our Matthews-based Charlotte team. On March 31, 2025, technician Gump Martin wrapped up a clean, code-compliant finish that included a whole-home surge protector, new under-cabinet lighting, a power run to a new backyard shed, and tidy termination of low-voltage wiring.

If you live in the Charlotte area and are planning kitchen updates, a shed build-out, or panel and service upgrades, this project is a great example of how our team coordinates multiple tasks efficiently and safely.

Project highlights

Whole-house surge protection: Installed at the service equipment to help safeguard appliances, smart devices, and sensitive electronics from damaging voltage spikes.
Under-cabinet lighting: Low-profile fixtures for bright, even task lighting and a modern, finished look in the kitchen.
Power to new backyard shed: Routed and connected power from the home’s electrical system to support lighting, outlets, and future tools or hobby equipment.
Low-voltage terminations: Clean, labeled, and secure terminations to support controls, networking, or device connections.

The shed power run was carefully scheduled ahead of a new deck build so the homeowner could move forward without delays. Our team coordinated sequencing to keep the project on track and to minimize disruption around the exterior work area.

Why surge protection matters in Charlotte

Charlotte homeowners rely on increasingly sensitive electronics—from smart thermostats to high-efficiency appliances and home office gear. A whole-house surge protector adds a crucial first line of defense at the service, helping reduce the risk of costly damage from lightning-related events, utility switching, and everyday micro-surges within the home. Paired with point-of-use protection where needed, it’s a smart, affordable layer of resilience for your electrical system.

Kitchen-ready under-cabinet lighting

Under-cabinet lighting brightens work surfaces, improves safety while cooking, and adds a designer touch to your kitchen. We install efficient, low-heat fixtures with well-concealed wiring and tidy switching, creating even illumination without glare. Whether you prefer warm, inviting tones or crisp task lighting, our team can tailor the setup to your space and cabinets.

Reliable power for your backyard shed

From hobby benches and yard equipment to lighting and storage needs, a shed benefits from a dependable, properly protected power source. Touchstone Electric ensures correct circuit sizing, grounding, and GFCI protection where required, with neat terminations at both the main/home connection and the shed. Planning a deck, patio, or landscaping? We can coordinate the electrical portion to fit your schedule and construction sequence.

Low-voltage wire terminations done right

Low-voltage systems are only as reliable as their terminations. We complete organized, labeled connections that support present and future devices—reducing troubleshooting time and keeping your equipment performing at its best.
