6 Home Renovation Projects that Require a Professional Electrician

Remodeling a home is an exciting undertaking, but it’s often one that you can’t do alone. And for all of the jobs for which you need a professional, those involving electricity are especially pressing. This is because not only are electrical outlets and lights (etc.) that function well key, but also because working with electricity is dangerous. If you’re not a trained electrician, here are six home renovation projects that you should definitely call a pro for–

1 – Light Fixture Installation

The quality and style of your light fixtures can have a big impact on the look and feel of your home. But before you assume that you can just take out your current light fixture and put in the new, remember that all of those wires conduct electricity. Before you even think about messing with your light fixtures, be sure to cut off power to the area. To be safe, though, you should consider calling one of our professional electricians at Generator Technologies Inc. 

2 – Ceiling Fan Installation

Ceiling fans, like light fixtures, can be a beautiful, aesthetically pleasing, and functional addition to a home. However, they also require the assistance of a professional to install for optimal safety (and for a job done correctly the first time). 

3 – Kitchen Remodels

Sure, if you’re just re-doing your countertops or floors, you probably don’t need an electrician. But if you’re doing anything with the lights, outlets, or appliances, then you absolutely do. At Generator Technologies Inc., our electricians can competently navigate all of the electricity-related components of a kitchen remodel. 

4 – Basement Conversions

Basement conversions are fun – you’re taking space you already own and transforming it into something usable. However, basement conversions will require the services of an electrician at various different points, from installing new wiring and outlets to setting up lights and fans and more. 

5 – Outlet and Switches Changes

If you’re renovating a bedroom, dining room, bathroom, or another room in your house, it’s very possible that you’ll want to upgrade your outlets and switches to match the new design. One trending design tip is to install a light dimmer, which will not only provide ambiance but can also help to control energy. This is a project that should be left to the pros. 

6 – New Wiring in General

Finally, if you live in an old house that is suffering from faulty or unsafe electrical wiring, it’s probably about time that you upgraded. New or upgrading wiring can also be requested if you are adding more outlets to a room, as the additional energy demands may require the replacement of an older fuse box. A professional electrician can both help you to understand what you need and handle electrical renovations, too.
