Ace Electric has certified kitchen remodel electricians for homeowners and contractors throughout Thornton. We upgrade your wiring, add circuits for new appliances, and make sure everything is up to code before your remodel proceeds. A lot of homes in Thornton were built in the 60s and 70s with electrical that wasn't designed for modern kitchens. The electrical is probably the part you're not thinking about - until your contractor tells you the existing wiring can't handle your new appliances.
We work with your contractor or kitchen designer to plan the electrical before demo starts. That means figuring out where outlets go, what circuits you need, and whether your panel can handle the load. Older homes in neighborhoods like Eastlake, Thorncreek, and the original Thornton subdivisions near 88th often need panel upgrades as part of the kitchen remodel. We catch that early so it doesn't surprise you mid-project.
Modern kitchens need a lot more electrical than what was standard 40 or 50 years ago. Dishwashers, garbage disposals, microwaves, range hoods, and refrigerators all need dedicated circuits now. If you're adding a gas range with electric ignition, an induction cooktop, or a double oven, your old panel probably can't keep up.
Bathrooms have their own electrical requirements - GFCI outlets near water, exhaust fan circuits, and often heated floors or towel warmers. If you're remodeling a bathroom in an older Thornton home, the existing wiring probably doesn't meet current code. We handle bathroom remodel electrical to bring everything up to standard.
We install GFCI-protected outlets, add circuits for new ventilation fans, and wire for things like heated mirrors or bathroom speakers if that's part of your design. If you're doing a primary bath remodel with a jetted tub or steam shower, those need dedicated circuits too. We coordinate with your contractor so the electrical is done before tile and fixtures go in.
A lot of homeowners in Thornton are adding EV chargers to their garages, which usually means running a new 240V circuit from the panel. We can add subpanels in the garage if needed to support heavier loads without maxing out your main panel. If you've got big plans for your garage, we can help figure out what electrical it actually needs.
Garages in older Thornton homes usually have one outlet and maybe one light. If you're converting your garage to a workshop, home gym, or just want to actually use it, you'll need more electrical. We do garage electrical remodel work including adding outlets, upgrading lighting, and wiring for EV chargers, freezers, or power tools.
Homes built in Thornton between 1965 and 1973 often have aluminum wiring. It was common back then, but aluminum connections can loosen over time and become a fire hazard. If your home has aluminum wiring and you're doing a remodel, now is the time to address it.
We do aluminum wiring replacement and remediation as part of remodel projects. Sometimes that means a full rewire, sometimes it means adding copper pigtails at every connection point. It depends on your home and what makes sense for your situation. Either way, we can evaluate what you have and give you options before your remodel gets too far along.
