Home Addition Electrical Services

Wiring and Fixture installations for your new construction

It’s not uncommon for homeowners to want more space. Sometimes though, moving isn’t an option. That’s when you consider having a new addition put on your home. With all the stress that comes with having your house under construction, it’s easy to forget that most contractors that will frame the house, won’t put in the electrical work. That’s when you need to seek out a professional electrician.

With a new addition, you will be looking for all the electrical accessories that would be required for the rest of your home, such as wiring, outlets, switches, and other fixtures. This needs to be planned ahead with the future layout of the home in mind for maximum efficiency. Your input as the homeowner will be needed to make sure that everything matches the rest of your home.

Does a new addition need a new electrical panel?

Depending on the size of the addition you are putting on your home, you may or may not be able to work off of your pre-existing electrical panel. If your panel is too small to handle the new stress being put on it, it can possibly be upgraded to a stronger one or an additional panel may need to be installed. If the panel and wiring aren’t properly installed in your new addition, you will experience outages and potential injuries from electrocution. Make sure you hire a skilled electrician to examine your electrical work, they will be able to tell you the best route of action.
