Safe, Clean, Code-Compliant Electrical Work for Beautiful Bathroom Upgrades

When to Call an Electrician for Your Bathroom Remodel

Electrical systems often need attention during bathroom upgrades — especially when moving walls, fixtures, or plumbing. Common situations include:

Installing new lighting, exhaust fans, or heated floors

Replacing or relocating outlets and switches

Adding GFCI protection (required by code in all bathrooms)

Upgrading wiring to support modern features and layouts

Ensuring proper ventilation and humidity control circuits

Preparing for smart lighting or fan automation

We work directly with homeowners or as part of your contractor’s team to make sure everything is done right the first time.

RYDER ELECTRIC

Our Bathroom Electrical Services

Here’s what we typically provide during a bathroom renovation:

GFCI outlet installation and circuit protection

We install bathroom outlets with built-in safety features that help prevent electric shock around water.

Dedicated circuits for heated floors, towel warmers, and high-demand fixtures

For power-hungry upgrades like heated flooring or towel warmers, we run dedicated lines so they operate safely and reliably.

Vanity and mirror lighting wiring

We install wiring for lights above or around your mirror to give you bright, even lighting right where you need it.

Ceiling, sconce, and ambient lighting installs

We can wire and install overhead lights, wall sconces, and mood lighting to make your bathroom feel brighter and more comfortable.

Exhaust fan and vent wiring (with optional humidity sensors)

We wire exhaust fans to help remove steam and moisture — and can even install smart models that turn on automatically when needed.

Rewiring for layout changes or fixture relocations

If you’re moving your sink, shower, or toilet, we’ll reroute the electrical safely to match your new layout.

Light switch and dimmer installs

We add or replace switches and dimmers so you can control your bathroom lighting exactly how you want it.

Smart lighting and automation setup

We can help set up smart lights or fans that work with voice assistants, motion sensors, or timers for added convenience.

Panel upgrades if required for new electrical load

If your electrical panel can’t handle the extra power your remodel needs, we’ll upgrade it so everything runs safely and efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to Common Questions — So You Know What to Expect, Every Step of the Way.

Q: Do I always need a permit for bathroom electrical work?

Yes — in WA state you’re required to pull an electrical permit for most changes like adding new outlets or fixtures. The electrician doing the work must be the one to obtain it, and inspections are typically required once the work is energized

What if I move lights, outlets, or switches—does that require rewiring?

Yes — moving fixtures usually requires rewiring behind walls, and older wiring may need updating to meet current safety code requirements

Q: How many circuits or outlets do I need for my bathroom?

Bathrooms require special safety outlets (GFCI) and often need multiple circuits depending on the number of fixtures (like heaters, fans, or lighting) to meet NEC requirements

Q: I’ve never heard of a GFCI outlet—what is it and why do I need it?

A GFCI outlet senses ground faults (like water contact) and shuts off power instantly to prevent shock. WA code requires a GFCI near all bathroom sinks or wet areas.

Q: Do I need special ventilation or fan wiring in my new bathroom?

Yes — new bathrooms must have proper exhaust fan wiring and often a humidity-sensing fan to prevent mold, moisture damage, and meet local building codes

Q: What happens if I add heated flooring or a towel warmer to the bathroom?

These items usually draw more electricity and may require dedicated circuits to operate safely without overloading your home’s electrical panel

Q: Can you safely install lighting around mirrors and vanity areas?

Yes — vanity lighting requires precise placement and wiring for even lighting and safety, typically using dedicated circuits and code-compliant designs.

Q: Why can’t I just handle some of the electrical myself to save money?

Mixing DIY electrical work can lead to code violations, safety hazards, or permit issues—and most homeowners don’t know all the rules. A licensed electrician ensures everything is safe and inspection-ready
