New construction wiring in Lithia, FL
A new build or a room addition means wiring the space from scratch, before walls close up. We handle rough-in through final trim for new construction and additions around Lithia, with same-day estimates and 24-hour emergency service if a scheduling issue can't wait.
Three phases, start to finish
New construction wiring follows the same sequence whether it's a whole house or a single addition.
Rough-in
Wire is pulled through open studs, boxes are set for outlets, switches, and fixtures, and everything routes back to the panel before walls close.
Rough-in inspection
An inspector reviews the wiring before insulation and drywall go up, catching anything that needs correcting while it's still accessible.
Trim-out
Once walls are finished, we install the actual outlets, switches, fixtures, and panel connections, and everything gets tested.
Final inspection
A final inspection confirms the completed system is safe and code-compliant before power is energized for use.
What new construction electrical typically covers
A full scope from the service entrance to the last light switch.
Service panel & entrance
Sized for the home's projected load, including room for future additions like an EV charger or a pool.
Branch circuit wiring
Every circuit for outlets, lighting, and appliances, routed and labeled correctly from day one.
Appliance & 240V circuits
Dedicated circuits for the range, dryer, water heater, and any other high-demand appliances the build calls for.
Lighting & fan pre-wire
Boxes and wiring set for every fixture and fan location before drywall, so nothing needs to be fished later.
Smoke & CO detector wiring
Interconnected detectors placed and wired to current code from the start, not added on as an afterthought.
Smart home & low-voltage pre-wire
If you're planning smart switches, cameras, or a future EV charger, pre-wiring during construction saves real money later.
Add it now, or pay to open the wall later
Once walls are closed, adding a circuit means cutting into finished drywall, patching, and repainting, costs that don't exist during rough-in. If there's any chance you'll want an EV charger, a home office, a workshop, or extra outlets down the road, this is the cheapest point in the entire life of the home to plan for it.
We'll walk through your plans with you before rough-in starts and flag anywhere a small addition now could save a much bigger job later.

Common questions about new construction wiring
How much does new construction electrical wiring cost?+
Full electrical for a new build typically runs $3 to $8 per square foot, depending on plan complexity and finish level. Rough-in alone runs $2 to $4 per square foot. A service panel adds $1,500 to $3,500 depending on the amperage needed.
How many inspections does new construction wiring need?+
Typically two: a rough-in inspection before walls close, and a final inspection once trim-out is complete and everything is tested.
Can you work directly with my builder or general contractor?+
Yes, we regularly coordinate directly with builders and GCs, working the project's schedule and sequencing our phases with the rest of the build.
Should I plan for an EV charger even if I don't have an EV yet?+
It's worth considering. Adding conduit or a pre-wired circuit for a future EV charger during rough-in costs very little compared to opening a finished wall to add it later.
Is new construction wiring cheaper than rewiring an existing home?+
Generally yes, per square foot. With walls still open, wire can be run directly without the extra labor of opening and patching finished walls, which is why rewiring an occupied older home often costs more.
Can you also wire a room addition, not just a whole new house?+
Yes, the same rough-in-to-trim process applies to additions, with the added step of tying the new circuits into your existing panel.
