Safe & Sound Electric recently completed a major electrical upgrade on a military housing unit in Bremerton. This project involved rewiring half of the 900 sq ft house, installing a new service panel with a remote meter, and future-proofing the electrical system for a planned kitchen remodel.
Project Details:
The existing electrical system was outdated and inadequate for the homeowner’s needs. The rewire included updating circuits for a ceiling fan, multiple lights, switches, outlets, and an exhaust fan.
A key part of the project was installing a remote meter service. This allows for up to 8 additional circuits to be easily added in the future when the kitchen is relocated to the living room. This forward-thinking approach will save the homeowner time and money during the remodel.
Challenges and Solutions:
The project presented a few challenges, including working around the existing duplex meter, which will be removed during a future siding project.
However, our team of experienced electricians efficiently completed the rewire and service upgrade, ensuring the home is now safe, up-to-code, and ready for future renovations.
Benefits for the Homeowner:
- Improved Safety: The upgraded electrical system eliminates potential hazards and provides peace of mind.
- Increased Functionality: The new wiring and remote meter support the homeowner’s current and future electrical needs.
- Enhanced Property Value: We estimate this project added at least $12,000 to the home’s resale value.
- Energy Efficiency: Modern electrical systems can be more energy-efficient, potentially lowering utility bills.
