Energized Electric was subcontracted by another contractor for the electrical wiring in a finished basement in Mertztown. The basement included the kinds of features that quickly turn a remodel into a detailed electrical plan.
The scope included recessed lighting throughout, a receptacle for a wall-mounted TV, a dedicated circuit for a fireplace heater below the TV, bathroom electrical work, and bar-area circuits with GFCI protection. Each part of that scope needs to be coordinated with the finished layout before the walls and ceilings are closed.
What similar customers should know
Finished basements should be planned around the actual layout. TV walls, electric fireplaces, bathrooms, wet bars, refrigerators, countertop areas, and lighting zones can each affect circuit planning and GFCI requirements.
