A bathroom remodel is the perfect time to upgrade your electrical system. Plan ahead to ensure safety, code compliance, and convenience.
GFCI Protection Is Required
All bathroom outlets must have GFCI protection. This is non-negotiable for safety and code compliance.
Dedicated 20-Amp Circuit
Bathroom receptacles require a dedicated 20-amp circuit. Lighting, exhaust fans, and heated floors can be on separate circuits.
Exhaust Fan Planning
Install a properly sized exhaust fan vented to the exterior. Consider a humidity-sensing fan that turns on automatically.
Lighting Design
Plan for vanity lighting, recessed lights, and shower lighting. All fixtures in shower areas must be wet-rated.
Smart Upgrades
Consider heated floors, smart mirrors, LED mirrors with defoggers, and smart lighting controls for a modern bathroom.
