Gilbert grew from a farm town into one of the largest towns in the country, and most of its homes date from the 1990s and 2000s: Val Vista Lakes, Power Ranch, Seville, Agritopia, Morrison Ranch and dozens more. Those houses are now reaching remodel age, which is exactly the work Regal Electric specializes in.
Remodel age has arrived
A 1990s or early-2000s kitchen is due for a refresh, and the electrical layout is usually the part that ages worst: too few counter receptacles, a fluorescent box light, no under-cabinet lighting and appliances sharing circuits. A remodel is the time to bring all of it up to today’s code.
Tall ceilings and statement fixtures
Two-story entries and great rooms are common in Gilbert, and they call for the right fixture and a safe install: a box rated for the weight, proper support and the right equipment to reach the ceiling. The drum chandeliers and crystal fixtures in Regal Electric’s photos are this kind of job.
Town of Gilbert permits
Gilbert issues its own electrical permits and inspections, and SRP is the utility for the town. In the Heritage District, a few older buildings and homes predate the boom and may need a closer look.
Gilbert questions
Asked in Gilbert.
Do I need a permit for remodel electrical work in Gilbert?
In most cases, yes. New circuits, relocated receptacles and remodel wiring generally need an electrical permit from the Town of Gilbert, with a rough-in inspection before the walls are closed. Simple like-for-like fixture swaps usually don’t.
Can you hang a chandelier in a two-story Gilbert entry?
Yes. Regal Electric installs heavy and high fixtures with a box rated for the weight and the right equipment to reach the ceiling safely. Have the fixture’s weight and the ceiling height handy when you call.
What’s the best lighting upgrade for an older Gilbert kitchen?
Replacing a fluorescent box or a few old cans with a planned recessed LED layout on a dimmer, plus under-cabinet lighting, makes the biggest difference for the money. Add a pendant or chandelier over the island to finish it.
