Case Study – Complete Electrical for a Major Kitchen Renovation

Bringing a Modern Open-Concept Renovation to Life

Premium Electric was invited back to handle major kitchen renovation electrical work, after successfully upgrading this homeowner’s electrical service a few years earlier from 100 amps to 200 amps.

The new project involved much more than simply replacing fixtures. With walls being removed, structural beams installed, and multiple trades working simultaneously, the kitchen renovation electrical needs required careful planning, coordination, and flexibility to keep everything moving forward smoothly.

The Challenge

The homeowners were undertaking a major renovation that would transform their kitchen and living space into a more open, functional area.

The scope of the kitchen renovation electrical work included:

  • New kitchen lighting installation
  • Hood fan exhaust wiring
  • Appliance connections
  • Receptacle relocation and installation
  • Ethernet cabling throughout the space
  • Security camera installation
  • Electrical modifications required after wall removal
  • Coordination with multiple trades throughout the renovation

As with many large renovations, schedules shifted frequently as framing, structural, and finishing work progressed. The kitchen electrical work needed to adapt to changing timelines while maintaining project momentum.

Our Solution

Premium Electric worked closely with the homeowners and other trades throughout the kitchen renovation process. We were able to ensure all electrical systems were installed correctly and at the appropriate stages of construction.

Our team:

  • Installed and relocated receptacles to match the new layout
  • Wired and installed new kitchen lighting throughout the renovated space
  • Connected appliances and hood fan systems
  • Ran Ethernet cabling to support modern connectivity needs
  • Installed security camera wiring and equipment
  • Coordinated scheduling with other contractors on site
  • Adjusted timelines when construction delays occurred
  • Reviewed completed work with the homeowners at the end of each workday

By maintaining open communication and remaining flexible throughout construction, the project continued to move forward despite the complexities that often accompany major renovations.

The Result

The homeowners received a beautifully updated kitchen and living space supported by modern electrical infrastructure, improved connectivity, enhanced lighting, and upgraded convenience features.

The Outcome

The successful completion of this kitchen renovation electrical project further strengthened a relationship that began years earlier with a 100-to-200-amp service upgrade. By delivering consistent workmanship, reliable scheduling, and clear communication across multiple projects, Premium Electric became the homeowner’s trusted electrical contractor for both service upgrades and renovation work.

What the Customer Said

“So happy that we hired Premium Electric once again! A number of years ago we hired Premium Electric to upgrade our service from 100 to 200 amps, and they did such an outstanding job that we hired them to complete the electrical for our large kitchen renovation. Our renovation required many trades to work with and around each other as we took out walls and installed beams. We asked Premium to run ethernet, install security cameras, move and install receptacles, as well as lighting, a hood fan, and appliances.

We are very happy with the quality of their work. They were always on time, cleaned up before they went home each day,
and were very flexible when other trades were delayed. They took the time at the end of each day to go over the work they had completed to make sure that it was to our liking.
Thank you, Premium Electric, for working with us to create a beautifully functional living space!”
