Renovation Electrical FAQs

Do I need to upgrade my electrical panel for my renovation?

It depends on your current panel and the scope of your renovation. We’ll assess your needs and recommend a new electrical panel to handle your new electrical demands.

Can you work with my existing wiring?

In many cases, yes. However, if we discover outdated or unsafe wiring during the renovation, we’ll recommend upgrades that ensure safety and code compliance.

How long does a typical renovation electrical project take?

The timeline varies depending on the scope of work. A simple lighting upgrade might take a day, while a full home rewiring could take several days to a week. We’ll provide a detailed timeline following our initial consultation.
