Here is a question for you, on typical remodelling jobs there is electrical work involved, sometimes I know for sure that a new circuit will have to be included with the work, such as a jetted tub, but other times say when adding fixtures to existing circuits I don't know, nor do I have the time when doing the quote to determine of course if the current circuit will be able to handle the new fixtures or if a new circuit will be needed. For example a job I looked at recently will involve removing the old flourescent box light in a kitchen and installing 6 recessed cans to replace it. In this situation depending on what is on the circuit the new cans might be fine or they might be too much and require a new circuit being run.
In these situations I typically quote based on not having to run a new circuit with a note on the quote about it and stating that the possibility exists that a new circuit may be required at additional cost.
Is this typical of the way it should be done or is there a better way?
