Basement electrical work
Below-grade spaces need GFCI protection for outlets in unfinished areas, AFCI protection in finished living areas, and smoke alarms tied to the rest of the house. We plan lighting for low ceilings, usually with slim recessed LEDs.

Basement Electrical FAQs
Do basement outlets need GFCI protection?
Outlets in unfinished basement areas require GFCI protection, and it is also required near sinks and in bathrooms.
Can you wire a basement before the walls are closed?
Yes, and that is the ideal time. We complete the rough-in, have it inspected, and return to install devices after drywall.
Will I need a bigger panel?
Not usually for a basement alone, but we check the load and the available breaker spaces first.
