Lighting, circuits, and outlets planned for the new kitchen

Kitchens need a lot of electrical: pot lights, pendants, under-cabinet lighting, dedicated outlets, dishwasher and microwave circuits, and switching that makes daily use easy. We plan all of that around the new layout, then run wiring before drywall and finishing.

Existing kitchens are often under-circuited, so an upgrade is a chance to fix outlet locations, lighting layers, and switch placement at the same time.

Pot lights and pendants

Pot lights and pendant fixtures laid out for general light over counters, islands, and prep zones.

Island wiring

Power, switches, and lighting routed to the kitchen island for outlets and pendant fixtures.

Under-cabinet lighting

LED tape or puck lighting wired under upper cabinets and switched at the right location.

Dedicated circuits

Dishwashers, fridges, microwaves, and small-appliance circuits planned to meet code.

Planned wired and ready for finishing

What goes into kitchen electrical upgrades

Lighting, circuits, switches, and outlets coordinated for daily use

An electrical upgrade should follow the new layout, not the old one. We confirm fixture locations, switch points, and outlet positions, then run wiring and set boxes so the kitchen is wired correctly for the way you actually cook.

Run wiring and boxes

Wiring is run, boxes are set at the right heights, and dedicated circuits are added at the panel.
