Electrical Upgrades To Do When Remodeling A House
Upgrading any feature of your home’s electrical system, whether it’s the wiring, outlets, lighting fixtures, or other components, adds greater safety, expanded functionality, more convenience, and increased resale value to a home. Here are some essential electrical upgrades for you to consider during your home renovation:
Add More Outlets and GFCI Outlets for Safety
More Outlets: Naturally, if you’re adding more square footage to your home during a remodeling project, installing new kitchen appliances, and/or updating electronic entertainment facilities, you’ll need more electrical outlets. For any additional items that will draw from existing circuits, you will need to prevent the overuse of power strips and extension cords by adding more outlets (within the load limits of the individual circuits).
More GFCI Outlets: Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter outlets are designed to help prevent incidents of potentially deadly electrocution. With a regular outlet, you do not have the same protection. With a GFCI outlet, if someone begins to be shocked, the GFCI mechanism senses it happening and stops the flow of electricity leaving the outlet before the person can be hurt. GFCIs are especially important where water may unintentionally come into direct or indirect contact with the outlet.
Upgrade to Modern / Recessed Lights
LED recessed lighting adds so much to the aesthetic appeal and functional versatility of almost any room in any home. It’s not surprising that recessed lighting is especially attractive to prospective home buyers. Even if you have previously wired light fixtures, installing recessed lights involves some unique challenges that you should consider leaving to licensed and certified Master Electricians. Other types of lighting upgrades that can update the look of your home and the safety of your electrical system include new ceiling fixtures (add luxurious dimmer switches), unique chandeliers, exterior ground lighting, stair-step night lighting, and more.
Remodel Electrical Box
This is not a glamorous upgrade, but the breaker panel is the central hub of your home’s electrical system. Everything depends on its safe and smooth functioning. Updating your breaker panel should be at the top of your list for your remodeling project to handle today’s modern needs for so many more electronic devices and appliances. Overwhelmed or old electrical breaker panels are one of the most common electrical sources of house fires. Replacing an outdated or insufficient-sized panel can save your home and family from the risk of a catastrophic house fire. That’s certainly a benefit that makes the investment in this upgrade worth it.
Update Wiring
Decades ago, homes were commonly wired with aluminum wiring and even earlier with Knob and Tube wiring. Since that time, faulty wiring of those types has caused many house fires throughout the country. The older the wiring is, the higher the risk that it may be the cause of a devastating fire. Today, many home insurance companies will not insure houses with outdated wiring types. If you remodel, you may be required in some areas to rewire your home in order to obtain building permits for your renovation project.
Add Standby Generator
In New Jersey, severe storms and hurricanes can devastate and cause widespread, prolonged power outages. Families with a whole-home generator live with the benefits of much greater comfort, convenience, and security in their homes during these events and the days to weeks afterward. Hardwired standby generators become an asset to the value of the home. So, while you’re modernizing your home’s facilities, incorporating a generator is a key consideration for owners of northern coastal homes.

Derrick and DK electrical solutions are amazing!! We had an electrical wire break underground and struggled for a week to find a company that could dig up the area and solve our problem. He came the day I called and after one long day of hard work, I once again have electricity. He was so incredibly kind, reasonably priced, thoughtful, professional and clearly loves problem solving. Thank you so much for everything. Please call DK for all your electrical needs but especially those that involve underground electrical wiring. Updating in 2026. Just used DK again to diagnose some issues around my house. Bob and George were super kind and knowledgeable. Still super happy with the service.
5 star review. I had a transfer switch and interlock installed on our electric box. Joe and Travis were on time, polite, knowledgeable, worked quickly, and did a great job. They explained everything once they were done. I have used DK Electrical Solutions in the past and will continue to use them.
Had power out in two rooms of the house and they were able to get a technician over same day in the afternoon. Joe went over the pricing with us immediately and gave us a flat rate no matter the time it took or work done. He checked literally everywhere to no avail and then suggested there might be an outlet hidden in our closet. He was right about that and after checking that outlet he fou d the source of the problem. Replaced the outlet and a burnt wire and we have power again! Was super polite and thorough and got the job done thanks to his dedication and skill. If we ever have electric issues again DK will be the first and last place we call to get it solved. Thanks for your help Joe!
He was very perfection, he hung up my lights and they look beautiful Thank you
Bob Edwards did a great job. In addition to solving my electrical issues, Bob helped me understand the big picture and how to identify and prevent future issues. Bob is a great technician and a major asset to DK Electrical Solutions.
As usual I called DK with an emergency. I was displaced by a fire in my neighbors home. My meter was removed during the worst snow storms in nine years. The process of filing my permits was made easier with Britney's help. Derek went above and beyond by hand carrying the paperwork to the township building. You couldn't hire a better team. I have always had positive interactions with the staff.
Joe was very professional! He did an amazing job! Definitely will request Joe to come out for my next project!!!
Reliable and Trustworthy Service! We’ve been with DK electrical solutions Inc. for 2 years and couldn’t be happier. The service is dependable, the team is friendly, and everything is transparent—no hidden fees. Their operations are clean and efficient, with high standards and knowledgeable staff. Great customer service and overall experience!
Bob Edwards was fantastic. Friendly, focused, informative and effective. He explained everything to me clearly as to what he was doing. I couldn't have asked for more. I would highly recommend him!
