Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money.

Synopsis:
This is one mighty “Part 1” for what will be a beautiful kitchen remodel. The tricky thing about electrical work is that you often can’t do it all at once; in this case, we need to dial in appliance receptacles, counter-servicing receptacles, overhead lighting, under-cabinet lighting, auxiliary pendant lighting, and some mysterious old circuitry without the appliances, counters, cabinets, or pendants in sight!

Here’s how Jefferson Electric “roughs-in” a kitchen-to-be to avoid future headaches for themselves or other tradesmen, all while identifying existing wiring and solving panel circuit limitations.
