Summer is the best time to do home remodeling.  One thing that you should never forget is planning what you will need from an electrical point of view.

 

It is important that a licensed Santa Fe remodeling electrician be hired to do all electrical work including electric wiring, rewiring, outlet installation especially in the areas where you use water like bathrooms, kitchen, laundry, etc.  Areas where water is present need Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters of GFCI outlets.  With this type of outlet, the circuit breaker in your home will not be prone to shorting out.  To prevent the risk of electric shock in places where water is a hazard, then this type of outlet should be installed.  To prevent electric shock, the GFCI outlet has a localized circuit breaker right where there is a high risk of shock.  Potential hazards like injury from electric shock, electric fires, and other dangers are prevented by this installation design.  Only the first outlet in a chain need to be a GFCI outlet.  A professional electrician can help you plan and install safe wiring and outlets that are up to code.

 

There are electrical considerations to make if you want to add a jetted tub to a new or existing bathroom.   You will need at least one dedicated 15 amp GFCI circuit.  Two GFCI circuits are required if a heater is also being installed.  There should also be a solid no. 8 copper ground wire running from the motor to all metal that is associated with the tub.  If you want to make sure that the wiring is done safely and up to code, then you need to hire the expertise of a professional electrician to install this for you.  The professional electrician ensures that the circuit breaker can handle the additional load of installing a jetter tub.

 

You can also update your home's appearance with recessed lighting.  It is great to have recessed lighting since it is hidden in the ceiling and your line of sight is not blocked by a hanging light fixture.  With these types of lights, you space will feel larger and more open.  These recessed lights can only be installed by someone who has a knowledge of electrical wiring.  A professional is the only one who is qualified to install and wire your recessed lighting fixtures.  Whatever lighting fixtures you have right now can all be replaced by recessed lighting or you can install new recessed lighting in order to brighten some parts of your home or enhance design elements in your home.  You can change the mood in a room with creative lighting. Keep this in mind when looking for the best electrician Santa Fe has to offer.
