Points to keep in mind
- Access affects price. Finished walls, attics and crawl spaces change how much time running new wire takes. More on lighting installation.
- Older wiring changes the job. Homes with aluminum branch wiring, ungrounded outlets or fuse panels may need extra work. More on lighting installation.
- Permits are usually required. Standby generators often need electrical and sometimes gas permits. More on generators & backup power.
- Insulated ceilings need rated fixtures. Recessed lights in insulated ceilings must be IC-rated. More on lighting installation.
- Capacity matters. Adding big loads like EV chargers, hot tubs or heat pumps can exceed what the existing service supports. More on electrical panel upgrades.
