What this covers

Electrical Remodels in Broward & Palm Beach

Remodels are where a good electrician earns their fee. Every added outlet, every recessed light, every new circuit has to fit code — and every one is a decision that affects how you use the space for the next 20 years. We work alongside your GC and designer at the planning stage so nothing gets missed, and we handle the code-update trap (older houses often need AFCI protection on any newly-modified circuit).

What's included

  • Kitchen remodel: dedicated circuits for range, microwave, disposer, dishwasher, fridge, small-appliance circuits, under-cabinet lighting
  • Bathroom remodel: GFCI + AFCI, dedicated 20A circuit, exhaust fan, vanity lighting, heated floor circuits
  • Room addition: subpanel or extended circuits, load calc
  • ADU / garage conversion: full electrical service (separate meter or shared)
  • Whole-house lighting design collaboration with your designer
  • Smart-switch and dimming compatible wiring pulls
  • Old-house code updates for the modified circuits (AFCI, GFCI, tamper-resistant)

When to call us

You're planning a kitchen remodel and need the electrical spec

We meet with you and your designer, mark up the drawings, and give you a fixed price. Better than surprise change orders mid-project.

You're adding a room and don't know if the panel can handle it

We do a load calc. Usually the answer is 'yes, with a subpanel' — sometimes it's 'time for a service upgrade.' Either way, no guessing.

You're converting a garage into an ADU or office

Requires a permit, code-compliant egress lighting, dedicated circuits, and often a subpanel. We do the whole workflow.

Common questions

Do you work on remodels the same week I call?

Depends on the scope. Small stuff (add a circuit, install fixtures) usually within a week. Full kitchens or additions typically book 2-4 weeks out — call as early as you can in the planning process.

Do I need to update the whole house's wiring during a remodel?

No — only the circuits you're modifying need to come up to current code. That said, if we're already in the walls, sometimes it's cheap to do adjacent upgrades. We'll tell you what's worth doing and what isn't.

Electrical Remodels Done Right in Broward & Palm Beach

Edwin's Electric coordinates with your GC and designer from first markup to final inspection — so your kitchen, bathroom, or addition remodel passes code without surprise change orders.

What South Florida Homes Actually Need During a Remodel

Broward and Palm Beach County homes built before the mid-2000s were wired under older NEC editions that predate mandatory AFCI protection on bedroom and living-area circuits. The moment you open a wall to modify those circuits — even just to add an outlet — Florida's current adopted code requires you to bring the altered circuit up to today's standard. Inspectors in municipalities like Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton actively flag this, and a missed AFCI breaker is a common reason remodel finals get rejected.

Homes in coastal ZIP codes also face a humidity and salt-air environment that accelerates corrosion inside panels and junction boxes. During a remodel, it is worth inspecting any exposed connections in the affected area — not to rewire the whole house, but to catch corrosion before it gets buried behind new drywall for another decade.

Florida's energy code (Florida Building Code, Energy Conservation) additionally shapes lighting decisions in remodeled spaces: recessed fixtures must be IC-rated and air-tight, and certain room types trigger efficacy minimums. Getting these details right at the rough-in stage avoids costly corrections after drywall is hung.

How the Remodel Electrical Process Works

The most expensive electrical problems on a remodel happen when the electrician shows up after the walls are already framed and the cabinet layout is fixed. Edwin's Electric joins the planning conversation early — reviewing drawings, marking circuit locations, and flagging load issues before anything is built — so the GC and designer have accurate information when it still costs nothing to change.

Once rough-in is complete and inspected, the project stays with the same crew through trim-out and final inspection. That continuity matters: the person who pulled the wire knows where every home run lands, which cuts troubleshooting time at finish and reduces the back-and-forth that typically inflates a remodel budget.

For additions and ADU conversions, the process includes a load calculation to determine whether the existing panel has capacity or whether a subpanel — or in some cases a service upgrade — is the right path. Either outcome is documented before work begins, so there are no mid-project discoveries that stall the GC's schedule.

Common questions

Will my remodel require a permit, and who handles it?
Any work that adds or modifies circuits, installs a subpanel, or changes service entrance equipment requires a permit under Florida Building Code. Edwin's Electric pulls the permit, schedules the required inspections, and manages the paperwork — your GC does not have to chase the building department.
How much does electrical work typically add to a kitchen or bathroom remodel budget?
Cost varies with the scope: a bathroom upgrade adding a dedicated 20A circuit, GFCI/AFCI protection, and a new exhaust fan lands in a different range than a full kitchen rough-in with six or more dedicated circuits and a panel evaluation. What drives the number most is panel capacity, the age of the existing wiring, and how much of the wall is already open. A site walkthrough gives you a real figure based on your specific conditions.
Do I need to rewire rooms I'm not remodeling?
No — only the circuits you're modifying need to meet current code. If the project opens walls in adjacent areas and there's a practical opportunity to address aging wiring nearby, that option will be pointed out, but nothing is done without your sign-off. The scope stays limited to what the project actually requires.
