Electrical Planning for Remodels in North Texas (What Most People Forget)

Team Dynamic Electrical

Remodels are the best time to fix electrical limitations—because the walls are already open, and you can plan the layout the right way. Whether it’s a residential remodel or a commercial remodel in the DFW area, electrical work is one of the biggest drivers of function and long-term satisfaction.

Residential remodel: the upgrades that matter most

In kitchens, the #1 issue is usually not enough power where you need it. Common upgrades include:

Undercabinet lighting for real task lighting
Island outlets (because cords across counters become a daily annoyance)
Relocated switches so lighting control matches the new layout
Additional countertop outlets for modern appliances and devices

Bathrooms have their own needs:

GFCI-protected outlets in the right locations
Dedicated outlets for bidets (yes, that’s a real and increasingly common request)
Improved lighting placement for mirrors and showers

Throughout the home, remodels often require:

Additional outlets for TVs and media walls
Better lighting in bedrooms and living spaces
Ceiling fan installs with fan-rated boxes and proper switching

Commercial remodel: avoid the “we’ll figure it out later” trap

Commercial spaces frequently need:

Demo and relocation of outlets, switches, and lighting
Dedicated circuits for equipment, workstations, or specialty loads
New lighting plans for better visibility and updated layouts
Lighting upgrades to LED to cut energy use and maintenance calls

The key is planning power locations around how the space will actually be used—not how it used to be used.

A simple checklist before your remodel starts

Before closing walls, confirm:

Do we have enough circuits for the new layout?
Where do outlets need to be so cords aren’t the “solution”?
Do any panel upgrades need to happen now (not later)?
Are lighting placements designed for function (not just aesthetics)?
