Adding circuits, outlets and panel capacity to support a new kitchen layout, more appliances and modern code requirements.
Kitchen electrical upgrades, dedicated circuit installation and panel capacity upgrades all address the same reality: older Lake Charles kitchens are rarely wired for how a modern kitchen is actually used, from multiple countertop appliances to a full suite of major appliances each needing its own circuit.
Older kitchens are rarely wired for how a modern kitchen actually gets used.
Refrigerators, microwaves and dishwashers generally need their own dedicated circuits rather than sharing one with other outlets, which many older kitchens do not have.
Countertop outlets near water need GFCI protection; this is commonly missing or outdated in homes remodeled before current code.
Adding several new circuits for a remodel sometimes reveals that the home's electrical panel is near capacity, which we flag honestly rather than working around it.
We assess the existing panel, circuits and outlet layout.
New circuits and outlet locations are planned around your kitchen design.
Pulled for panel or major circuit work as required.
New wiring and, if needed, panel upgrades are completed.
We test every circuit and outlet with you before calling the job done.
Each dedicated circuit for an appliance adds wiring and panel space cost.
A panel upgrade, if needed, is a larger cost than adding circuits to an existing panel with room.
Adding several new outlets for an island or layout change adds labor.
Panel work and major circuit additions require permitting, which is included in our process.
