WHAT HAPPENS DURING A BASEMENT ROUGH-IN?
Once the basement layout is planned and the framing is ready, we can begin installing the wiring and electrical boxes that will sit behind your finished walls.
PLAN THE LOCATIONS
We review the basement layout and discuss where outlets, switches, ceiling lights and dedicated circuits are needed.
BEFORE WIRINGINSTALL THE ROUGH-IN
We run the required cables and install electrical boxes for the planned outlets, switches, lighting and equipment.
PRE-DRYWALL WORKROUGH-IN INSPECTION
We coordinate the applicable ESA electrical inspection before the wiring is covered, as required for the project.
BEFORE COVERINGRETURN FOR FINISHING
After the walls and ceilings are finished, we can return to install devices, fixtures and complete the electrical work.
AFTER DRYWALLSend us your basement plans or tell us where you're at in the renovation.
MORE THAN JUST AN EXTRA OUTLET.
A basement kitchen or laundry room can introduce electrical demands that a typical finished basement doesn't have. The right wiring plan starts with knowing what equipment you'll use and where it will go.
EVERYDAY POWER NEEDS.
A family room or home office usually focuses on lighting, switches and general-use receptacles for everyday devices.
PLAN FOR THE APPLIANCES.
Countertop equipment, cooking appliances, washers and dryers can change the circuit requirements and available capacity needed for your renovation.
Tell us what you're installing — even if you haven't chosen the exact models yet. We can discuss the electrical requirements and what needs to be confirmed before installation.
FROM THE KITCHEN TO THE LAUNDRY ROOM.
Whether you're adding one new area or renovating the entire basement, we can plan the wiring around the equipment and layout you have in mind.

CAN YOUR PANEL HANDLE THE ADDITION?
A new basement kitchen or laundry area can add electrical demand to your home. Before installing new circuits, we review your existing electrical service and the equipment you plan to use.
EXISTING ELECTRICAL SERVICE
We look at your current panel and service as part of planning the additional electrical work.
PLANNED APPLIANCES
Your washer, dryer, cooking equipment and other planned loads help determine the electrical requirements.
THE RIGHT NEXT STEP
Depending on the assessment, your existing service may be sufficient or additional electrical work may be needed.
