This new home build was a challenging yet deeply rewarding project. I wired about 85% of the house myself, paying close attention to every detail—especially the panel install, which I’m particularly proud of. The owner initially provided electrical drawings provided by an architectural firm, but the project quickly turned custom as I offered more options and flexibility.
For this project, I felt it was essential to create as-built drawings—a detailed roadmap for future reference—of the home’s electrical systems as the extras flowed in. Sadly, almost all homes lack this, but I prefer to leave "bread crumbs" for the next guy—especially in a larger home with substantial feeds.
The homeowner had a very specific vision, which often evolved day to day. I happily jumped through those hoops, collaborating with him to bring it to life. From sourcing all-white light fixtures to matching every detail he requested, it was no small task. I worked with 7–8 different distributors to make it happen, and while it wasn’t easy, the effort was well worth it. This was one of the toughest jobs I’ve tackled, and I’m proud to have seen it through.

It's worth mentioning while working on this kitchen, I discovered other circuits in the home that raised serious concern. The electrical system had significant problems, including multiple circuits showing unusually low voltage levels—well below the acceptable range of 110 to 125 volts. Some circuits measured as low as 89 volts. This is a clear indication of a deeper problem that needs to be addressed promptly.
I informed the homeowner of these issues and recommended immediate troubleshooting to prevent potential hazards and damage to appliances. However, they opted to have a friend address the more extensive repairs at a later date.
Why You Should Act Now:
Old or faulty wiring can cause more harm than you think. It's not just about performance—low or inconsistent voltage can shorten the lifespan of your brand-new appliances or even destroy them without warning. Before installing new appliances, I highly recommend scheduling a professional home electrical health check. Whether it's with me or someone you trust, bringing your home up to the current standards is a worth while investment.
