Good to know

Renovation Electrician — Frequently Asked Questions

When should the electrician come in during a renovation?

We typically come in after framing and before drywall for rough-in (running wires, installing boxes), then return after painting for finish work (installing fixtures, outlets, switches, and making final connections). We coordinate directly with your GC so there are no delays.

Do I need a sub-panel for my home addition?

For most additions over 400 sq ft or with significant electrical loads (new kitchen, bathroom, home theater), a sub-panel is the cleanest and safest solution. It keeps the new wiring organized, avoids overloading your main panel, and makes future changes easier.

Can you work with my general contractor or interior designer?

Absolutely. We work regularly with Fairfield County GCs and designers. We can follow your plans, make real-time adjustments on site, and ensure all electrical work passes inspection the first time.

Do you handle the electrical permits and inspections?

Yes. We are fully licensed in Connecticut and will pull all required electrical permits for your renovation. We also schedule and meet with the town inspector for the rough and final electrical inspections.

Can you upgrade my electrical panel during the renovation?

Yes, and a renovation is often the best time to do it. If your current panel is full or underpowered (e.g., 100A), we can upgrade to a 200A or 400A service to safely handle the new electrical load from your remodel.

How do you plan lighting for a kitchen or bath remodel?

We work with you and your designer to layer the lighting. For a kitchen, this usually means recessed cans for general light, pendants over the island for task lighting, and under-cabinet LED strips for ambiance. We ensure all switches are placed intuitively.

Are GFCI and AFCI breakers required for my remodel?

Yes. Current electrical codes require GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protection in wet areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and unfinished basements. AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter) protection is required for most living spaces to prevent electrical fires. We ensure your remodel is 100% up to date.
