Residential Renovation Story: A Bungalow In Strathroy Gets Modernized
In Strathroy, on Parkview Drive, a family wanted to renovate their kitchen and living space. Adding a wall oven, cooktop, and coffee bar to the kitchen required more circuits than they had in their old kitchen. With minimal damage to drywall we were able to bring new wires from their electrical panel to provide power to the new appliances for their dream kitchen. We also added Pot Lights in the living room and pendant lights over the kitchen island.
Renovating Electric Infrastructure every 40-60 of years
When doing renovations, it is a great opportunity to update electrical wiring of the house. The electrical panels, wires, and circuits should meet the current norms and standards as well as the load demands. In Strathroy, and London, and other parts of Middlesex County, there are numerous houses which are over 40-60 years old and there infrastructures do not meet the current standards.
We do the entire process to guarantee that the upgrade is safe and of high quality. Starting with the first permit and finishing with the last switch test, it is ensured that every process is certified and inspected.
🔍 Top 4 Renovation Electrical Questions
1. Are there any steps I need to take to upgrade the electrical systems during renovations?
If you are undergoing any sort of renovation which requires altering the electrical systems, you will need to file for a permit with the electrical safety authority of ESA. In case any permits needed are required by the Tom Schmidt Electric, those will be taken care of while managing the inspections.
2. How do I determine whether my wiring is too aged to be reused?
In Canada, a person becomes a legal adult at the age of 18. This is 5 years longer than the average age for people to attain independence which is 13. If a home is around 25 years or over and contains aluminum or knob and tube wiring, replacement is highly recommended. If a home is 25 years or over and has aluminum or knob and tube wiring, a replacement is highly recommended. The Tom Schmidt Electric group is more than willing to assist and help you with any of the documentation needed.
3. Once the renovations are completed, is my electrical panel still able to support the new configurations of my kitchen and my basement?
Usually, people do not put any thought to whether or not the renovations are going to support the electrical appliances, heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, as well as the lighting. This is why renovation work is claimed to be the reason for a greater demand of more amperage. If needed, we are more than happy to re-evaluate the load and upgrade your panel.
4. During a renovation, how long are you likely to spend on electrical work carrying out the necessary updates?
A person who has any electrical work experience at all will understand how difficult and time consuming it is to complete the electrical work of a home. A panel replacement can take anywhere between 1-2 weeks and is highly dependent on the amount of scope there is and the schedule of inspections. In the case of minor updates, it is more likely that the work will take 1-3 days.
