I get a lot of questions about electrical Do It Yourself projects. I'm happy to hear that many people are upgrading their homes to safer electrical wiring systems by replacing old, outdated wiring. Be careful about wire sizes, breaker sizes and junction boxes. Planning out your rewiring project is essential. I'm amazed at some of the wiring mistakes I've seen even in newer homes where circuit loads were not taken into consideration and additional wiring is needed to be installed after some of these homes were sold. Don't let this happen to you. Take all your electrical loads, present and future, into consideration. If you have an electrical question, I would love to help.
