Home improvement and remodeling projects can dramatically alter your house for the better by improving the way you use a space, as well as how it looks. While some tasks can be completed on your own, there are many that involve wiring, outlets, and other electrical elements. Hire an electrician to help with the following renovations to ensure the work is completed safely and properly.

Which Home Improvement Projects Require an Electrician's Help?

1. Basement Finishing

Converting an unfinished basement into a usable space can completely transform your home. However, a lot of electrical work is necessary to make the lower level of a house functional. The installation of new wiring, outlets, and lights is a major undertaking—especially if your plans for the basement include a tech-heavy area, like a home theater.

2. Light Fixture or Ceiling Fan Installation

Upgrading a light fixture or ceiling fan can improve the aesthetics of a room and also make it more comfortable. While you might be able to remove the old equipment without too much trouble after shutting off power to the area, understanding where to reconnect a house's wiring to a new fan or pendant can be tricky. 

This is especially true in older homes, and some may even require electrical upgrades to ensure everything works with modern fixtures. An electrician will get the job done right the first time.

3. Switch & Outlet Changes

Modern light switches and outlets offer features that aren't available with older models. A dimmer option allows you to adjust a fixture's brightness, which can help you control the ambiance of a room and reduce household energy usage. 

You might want to install a new receptacle that includes USB chargers, and GFCI outlets are a must in water-prone areas, like bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms. Improper installation could cause overheating or even electric shock, so it is safest to let an electrician handle the task.
