Renovating an older home

Frequently asked questions
Not always. Many homes built in the 1920s to 1950s have been updated over the years, and many need targeted work rather than a full rewire: new kitchen and bath circuits, grounding, GFCI protection or a new panel. Very old cloth-insulated or knob-and-tube wiring, if any remains, is a different story and often comes up during insurance inspections. An evaluation shows what’s actually in the walls.
College Park is in the City of Orlando, so electrical permits go through City of Orlando Permitting Services. The contractor normally pulls the permit and schedules inspections.
Kitchens usually need several dedicated circuits for appliances, GFCI protection on countertop outlets and enough panel capacity for everything at once. In older College Park homes the remodel often brings a panel or service upgrade too. Plan the electrical layout with the electrician before the cabinets are ordered.
