Wiring Services for Construction and Home Renovations
Home Wiring for New Homes & Additions

At Wiretech Company, we leverage a combination of electrical expertise and project coordination experience to provide industry-leading wiring services. Trust our licensed, insured electricians to work alongside home renovation additions.

The Wiretech Company Process
Our construction and renovation wiring process is transparent and collaborative to ensure electrical safety, project efficiency and customer satisfaction:
- Assessment: Contact us to tell us about your project and request a site evaluation. We will inspect the building or construction schematics to determine the necessary wiring considerations.
- Upfront price estimation: We will develop an itemized report of the materials, services and costs. Our upfront, flat-rate pricing tells you the exact amount to budget for the project.
- Load calculation and design: Our professionals will calculate the amperage needed to support the building after completing construction or renovations. Then, we will create detailed schematics covering the circuit layout and locations for elements like outlets, light fixtures, ceiling fans and switches.
- Permitting and Contractor coordination: With plans in place, we will connect with local regulators to obtain the necessary permits. We will also coordinate with the project’s construction contractors to establish a timeline.
- Wiring and installation: Our team will work with your contractors on the jobsite to conduct electrical wiring and installation work at the appropriate stage in the project. Conduit and breaker installation occurs during the rough-in phase when the building’s infrastructure is in place. Device installation happens during the trim-out phase with most key interior design features in place.
- Testing and project completion: We will perform a final evaluation and test to verify that the electrical work meets our strict quality standards. As a part of our five-year warranty, we will return to adjust any elements that need attention.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most counties across North Carolina require the property owner or electrician to obtain a permit before updating a home’s electrical infrastructure or wiring a home addition. The electricians at Wiretech Company are familiar with permit requirements in Wake, Orange, Durham, Chatham and Johnston counties. We have decades of experience complying with building codes across counties and adapting to changes. Our staff will obtain the permits required to complete your project.
The legal requirements for electrical work vary by county. In Wake County, property owners may perform electrical work independently and without a license if they use the property as their primary residence.
While local ordinances may permit you to perform electrical work, hiring a licensed, experienced electrician is best for your home. Professional electricians undergo training to use safe practices that protect themselves during their work and protect you when the job is complete.
Additionally, electricians have experience working with other contractors during construction and renovation projects. Their familiarity with the entire process allows them to communicate effectively and work efficiently to keep the project on schedule. Wiretech Company recommends hiring a licensed electrician for remodeling projects.
Any home addition that includes new living space, requires lighting, outlets, or appliances will require electrical wiring to meet the needs of the new space and comply with local electrical codes.
The cost of wiring a home addition depends on several factors, including the size and complexity of the addition, the number of circuits needed, the types of materials used, and local labor rates. Obtaining an upfront price estimation can help you budget for the project.
To prepare for wiring installation, clear the work area, finalize your layout and design plans, and discuss your electrical needs and preferences with your electrician. This will help ensure that the wiring is installed safely and efficiently.
The time required to wire a new home addition varies depending on the size and complexity of the project. A simple addition may only take a few days, while a larger, more complex addition could take a week or more.
Some key safety considerations include ensuring that all wiring is installed by a licensed electrician, using the proper materials and techniques, following local electrical codes, and regularly inspecting your electrical system for any signs of damage or wear.
