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.

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!” – Heather H.

Kitchen Renovation Electrical FAQ
What electrical work is typically included in a kitchen renovation?
Kitchen renovation electrical work often includes lighting installation, receptacle relocation, appliance wiring, hood fan connections, and electrical modifications for a new layout.
Can electrical outlets be moved during a kitchen renovation?
Yes. Receptacles can be relocated or added to accommodate new cabinets, islands, appliances, and updated kitchen designs.
Do I need new wiring for a kitchen remodel?
It depends on the age of the home and the renovation scope. Many kitchen renovations require new wiring to support modern appliances, lighting, and electrical code requirements.
Can Ethernet cabling be installed during a renovation?
Yes. Renovations are an ideal time to install Ethernet cabling to improve home networking, smart device connectivity, and entertainment systems.
Can security cameras be wired during a kitchen renovation?
Yes. Running security camera wiring during a renovation is often easier and more cost-effective than installing it after construction is complete.
How are electricians coordinated with other renovation contractors?
Electricians work closely with framers, plumbers, drywall installers, and other trades to ensure electrical work is completed at the proper stages of the project.
Do kitchen renovations require electrical permits?
Many kitchen renovations require electrical permits, especially when new circuits, wiring, or significant electrical modifications are involved.
Can lighting be upgraded as part of a kitchen renovation?
Absolutely. Many homeowners add recessed lighting, under-cabinet lighting, pendant lights, and other modern lighting solutions during a renovation.
Will electrical work delay my kitchen renovation?
Proper planning and coordination help keep kitchen renovation electrical work on schedule and minimize delays, even when project timelines change.
Should I upgrade my electrical panel during a kitchen renovation?
If your existing panel lacks capacity for new appliances or future electrical needs, a panel upgrade may be recommended as part of the renovation.
