Remodels and Renovations

Home Electrical Remodel

Most major renovation projects, kitchen, bathroom, basement, attic remodels, etc., involve an electrical repair or upgrade. This type of electrical work is usually not anticipated ahead of time, as electric problems are often discovered once remodeling begins. It is important to caution that unless you are an experienced DIYer and are used to dealing with electricity, it is essential to hire a licensed residential electrician to complete the work. One way to save a lot of money on new electric wiring is to combine it with another major remodel. If you plan to open up walls anyway for a different project, you can install new wiring at the same time. This way, you will not have to pay a lot of extra money for opening up your walls a second time.

Panel Upgrade for increased Electrical Needs

The main circuit breaker panel in a home controls the live power from energizing the circuits in the electrical panel. To ensure that your electricity is properly working, you can either replace or upgrade existing your circuit breaker panel. An electrical outlet, also known as an electrical receptacle (wall socket) provides a place in a wiring system where current can be taken to run electrical devices. You may find that the current locations of your electrical outlets are not convenient or easily accessible, and you would prefer to move them.


If you have children in the house, and for general safety purposes, it is best to install a special outlet, called Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), in the kitchen and bathroom. It is designed to prevent electrical shock in wet locations. It may also be a good idea to have this type of outlet in the outdoor area where you have a deck or patio.

Rewiring for Older Homes

If your home was built before 1950, it is most likely outfitted with extremely outdated wiring, called knob and tube wiring. Most electricians would recommend to immediately replace this wiring, and there are some local building codes that actually require that this old wiring be removed.

Keeping old outdated wiring is considered a fire hazard, and is especially dangerous in modern homes that have very high electric power usage. If you suspect that you may have this type of wiring, consult your local building inspector and electricians on the best course of action.

Houses built before 1950 may have substandard, outdated wiring that poses a fire danger. The practice at the time was to insulate the wiring with cloth. Over time, the cloth deteriorates and falls away, leaving exposed wires that can arc in the interior of your walls and start a fire. Such wiring systems need replacement and renovation is an excellent time to tackle this task.

Updating, replacing, or installing new wiring throughout your entire house may be a necessary improvement in older homes, built before 1970, since the standard power wattage used to be 60 amps.
