Lighting and electrical questions
Q1Does a remodel mean new wiring?
Adding circuits or an island usually does. Rewiring the whole kitchen is rare in newer homes.
Q2How many recessed lights will I need?
Plan on one about every 4 to 6 feet. Taller ceilings let them sit farther apart.
Q3Who pulls the electrical permit?
The contractor does, for any new circuit.
