    How to Prepare Your Home's Electrical System for a Kitchen Remodel

    A kitchen remodel is one of the most common home improvement projects in Florida. It is also one that requires significant electrical planning.

    Modern Kitchen Electrical Requirements

    Today's kitchens need more power than ever. Induction cooktops, smart appliances, and additional lighting all increase electrical demand.

    Dedicated Circuits

    Modern kitchens require multiple dedicated circuits for safety and performance. Each major appliance should have its own circuit.

    Panel Evaluation

    Before starting your remodel, have your panel evaluated. If your current panel cannot support the additional load, an upgrade may be needed.

    GFCI Protection

    All kitchen countertop outlets must have GFCI protection. This is required by code and protects against electric shock in wet areas.

    Lighting Design

    Consider recessed lighting, under-cabinet lighting, and pendant lights. Plan your lighting layout before construction begins.
