Preparing for a Safe Basement Remodel Electrical Plan

Basement remodels are one of the most popular ways to expand usable space in Missouri homes. Whether you’re adding a home theater, bedroom, or bar area, electrical planning is essential for safety and functionality.

Important electrical considerations for basement remodels:

• Outlet Placement:
• Outlets should be spaced properly according to code for both accessibility and safety.
• Lighting Design:
• Install sufficient overhead lighting and use layered lighting to enhance comfort.
• GFCI Protection:
• Required near sinks, bars, and bathrooms to protect against shock hazards.
• Dedicated Circuits:
• Appliances like mini-fridges or sump pumps often require their own circuits.
• Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detectors:
• Update or install new detectors as needed to meet safety requirements.
