Project overview

This service call combined expert Outlets & Switches work with detail-oriented Outlet Installation & Repair practices. The homeowner requested removal of obsolete outlets positioned at window sills and wanted simple, reliable control solutions for both interior and exterior lighting—without extensive wiring changes.

Deleted three sill outlets in window areas to simplify and modernize the space.
Furnished and installed a wireless switch system with two remote switches for flexible control.
Installed two homeowner-provided timer switches for the front coach and garage coach lights.

The result is a cleaner look, smarter lighting control, and a user-friendly setup that fits the home’s layout and daily routines.

What we completed on site

Outlet removal at window sills: We safely decommissioned and removed three sill outlets at window locations, eliminating unnecessary receptacles and reducing clutter where they weren’t serving a purpose.
Wireless switch with two remotes: We furnished and installed a reliable wireless switch hub and paired two remotes. This gives the homeowner convenient control points without opening walls or running new switch legs, while maintaining a clean, finished appearance.
Timer controls for exterior coach lights: Using the homeowner’s timer switches, we installed and configured two timed controls—one for the front coach light and one for the garage coach light—providing automated evening illumination and hands-off operation.

Before wrapping up, our technician verified operation at each control point, confirmed the timer schedules, and ensured the wireless remotes responded consistently from typical living areas.

Why this upgrade matters

Simplified spaces: Removing unneeded sill outlets improves aesthetics and reduces potential points of misuse.
Flexible control without rewiring: Wireless switching offers added control locations where hardwiring could be disruptive or costly.
Automatic exterior lighting: Timers keep coach lights on schedule for evening visibility and peace of mind, even when no one is home.
Everyday convenience: Two remotes make it easy to manage lighting from multiple rooms or entry points.

Our process in Charlotte

We began with a walkthrough to confirm the homeowner’s goals and the best placements for controls. After safely removing the designated sill outlets, we installed the wireless switching components and paired the remotes to achieve dependable range and response. Finally, we installed the homeowner’s timer switches and tested the programmed on/off cycles for the front and garage coach lights.

Throughout the visit, Danny maintained a tidy work area, communicated progress, and demonstrated how to operate each new control so the homeowner could start using the system right away.
