Warning Signs

When Your Kitchen Needs Electrical Work

Old New Lenox homes near downtown often hide knob-and-tube wiring. If you're fixing up one of these old homes, that wiring has to go. We also see builder-grade kitchens from the 1990s and 2000s. These kitchens don't have enough outlets for today's gadgets. Flickering lights, warm outlet covers, and tripped breakers are signs to call us. Code now says every kitchen counter outlet needs GFCI safety. We make sure your new setup meets that rule. Don't wait on bad wiring, especially near water lines[1].

Common Jobs

Outlet Additions

We add counter outlets for small appliances and island prep spots. Most old kitchens just don't have enough.

Knob-and-Tube Replacement

This is common in older homes near downtown New Lenox. We swap it for safe, modern wiring before cabinets go in.

Lighting Upgrades

Recessed lights, under-cabinet strips, and pendant lights over islands. We plan it around your new layout.

Panel Upgrades

Bigger kitchens with double ovens or induction ranges often need more power than an old panel gives.

Appliance Circuits

Special circuits for dishwashers, microwaves, and induction cooktops keep your kitchen running with no tripped breakers.

GFCI Code Updates

If your kitchen hasn't changed since the 90s, it's likely missing needed GFCI safety. We bring it up to date.

Bill was fantastic to work with. I had an idea in mind what I wanted for my small laundry room, but unsure how to make it all work. His idea to add a deep, panty-like cabinet to fit vacuums, mops, and ironing board worked out perfectly. The pull-out drawers for soaps, the steamer, the iron, and many other essentials have been so convenient for storage. I will use him for my next project.
Thank you so much for your excellent work. I will definitely use your services for my next project.

After another contractor flaked out, Bill went above and beyond to finish our kitchen remodel. He didn’t stop until we were completely satisfied. He is unmatched when it comes to customer satisfaction.

We are extremely pleased to have discovered RBI. Initially, we were set on re-facing, but something felt off. Once we met Bill, everything changed. They made a minor reconfiguration that enhanced the functionality of my kitchen. They provided us with high-quality all-wood cabinetry and finishes that we thought were beyond our budget. Bill also sourced a stunning quartz countertop for us. Remarkably, the total cost was almost the same as the re-facing option. Additionally, they painted our kitchen, upgraded our electrical system, repaired our tile floor, installed new lighting, and assisted us in acquiring a new microwave hood and dishwasher. The products, craftsmanship, and pricing were all excellent. We had a fantastic experience!

Common Questions

Kitchen Electrical Work Questions

Here are answers to what New Lenox homeowners ask us most.

  • How much does kitchen electrical work cost?

    Most jobs run between $800 and $4,500. It depends on the job size. A simple outlet costs less than a full rewire. We give a free estimate first.

  • How long does kitchen electrical work take?

    Most jobs finish in one to three days. Old homes with knob-and-tube wiring may take longer. We plan the timing so it won't delay your cabinets.

  • Can I do kitchen electrical work myself?

    We don't suggest it. Kitchen wiring needs a licensed pro to meet Village rules and GFCI needs. A mistake behind the wall can cause a fire later.

  • How often does kitchen wiring need updating?

    If your home was built before the 1960s, it likely needs new wiring now. Newer homes from the 90s may just need more outlets.

  • How urgent is bad kitchen wiring?

    Warm outlets and flickering lights mean don't wait. Bad wiring near water is a real fire risk. Call us right away if you notice these signs.

  • What are signs my kitchen needs electrical work?

    Tripped breakers, warm switch plates, and too few outlets are common signs. Lights flickering when you run the microwave is another clue. These point to old wiring.

  • Do I need a permit for kitchen electrical work in New Lenox?

    Yes, any electrical or panel work needs a Village permit. We handle that paperwork for you. Simple cosmetic changes with no wiring don't need one.
