Service Questions

Are GFCI outlets required in older homes?

Existing untouched circuits may be grandfathered until modified. When we remodel a kitchen or bath, replace receptacles in GFCI-required locations, or add circuits, the CEC generally requires GFCI protection for those outlets. Upgrading GFCI/AFCI during a remodel is both a code and safety win.

What electrical updates are typically needed in a remodel?

Kitchens and baths usually need dedicated appliance circuits, GFCI/AFCI protection, updated lighting/switching, and enough receptacle spacing for the finished layout. We design to the CEC and your cabinet/fixture plans so inspection is not a surprise.

Are AFCI and GFCI required in California?

Yes where the adopted California Electrical Code applies. GFCI protection (NEC/CEC 210.8) is required for many wet and damp locations — kitchens, bathrooms, laundry, garages, outdoors, and similar. AFCI protection (NEC/CEC 210.12) is required for many dwelling living-area circuits. Remodels that open walls or add circuits usually must bring affected areas up to the currently adopted requirements.

"I am very pleased I found Michael at First Electric for my project. He was very responsive, on time, and professional. He gave me a very reasonable quote (lower than some others) on installing my ceiling fan and did a great job. I will hire again if the need presents itself."
