At Clearlite Electric, we are expert electricians for home renovations and new home builds in Georgian Bay. Several electrical jobs could be necessary during a renovation, depending on the size and type of the project. Here are some typical electrical activities carried out during a renovation:
Rewiring: Rewiring may be required if the current electrical wiring is unsafe, corroded, or outdated. To maintain adequate electrical distribution throughout the remodeled space, the new wires must be installed in place of the outdated wiring.
Electrical circuit installation: To accommodate new appliances, lighting fixtures, or outlets in the refurbished space, more electrical circuits may be required. To do this, a new wire must be run from the electrical panel to the targeted sites.
Installation of new lighting fixtures, such as pendant lights, wall sconces, or recessed lights, is typical during renovations. The fixtures must be wired and connected to the electrical system.
Installation of outlets: Additional electrical outlets might need to be installed, depending on the space's needs and layout. This covers both standard outlets and outlets designed for a particular use, such as special outlets for appliances, entertainment systems, or home offices.
New switches are frequently needed during remodeling to control lights or other electrical devices. Depending on the required functionality, this comprises single-pole switches, three-way switches, dimmer switches, and different varieties.
Upgrade to the electrical panel: If the current electrical panel is old or unable to handle the extra electrical demand brought on by the remodeling, it may be required to upgrade. This entails installing a larger panel and possibly updating the service entry to guarantee adequate electrical capacity.
Bonding and grounding: For electrical safety, ensuring adequate bonding and grounding is critical. To comply with modern electrical rules, grounding, and bonding systems may need to be examined or modified during a remodeling.
Installations for unique demands: Electrical needs may arise during renovations, such as installing special circuits for high-power appliances like air conditioners, stoves, and ovens. The electrical load, wiring, and safety precautions must all be carefully taken into account throughout these installations.
