If you are good at remodeling, but not good with electrical stuff, you might want to think about hiring someone. Electrical wiring can be very difficult and should only be handled by someone who knows exactly what they are doing. It is worth having someone help you or do it for you because electrical wires not done right can start a fire. Ask a friend to help if they are good with it or pay an electrician. They usually aren't too expensive and go through extensive training just to become an electrician, so you can definitely trust them.

Old wiring can be dangerous and can also take up a lot of energy. If you are repainting a wall, tearing a wall down, or adding more lights during your remodel, consider replacing some of your electrical wiring and lights. Replace them with more energy efficient lights and light bulbs. It will help you save money on your electrical bills and also give your room a newer look.

If you are replacing your wiring, make sure that none of the bare part of the wires touches another bare part of a wire. Make sure that the wires are also tightly drawn around the screws that you use so that nothing comes lose when you are putting it back into the wall, or doesn't have any chance of becoming lose and touching something it shouldn't. Lose wires are very dangerous.

If you are adding a room on or doing major electrical work then you might have to apply for a permit or have it inspected.

Check with them before you start anything. They can make you tear down what you have done if they don't like it, so it's better to get the facts first.
