Electrical Outlets.  If you are remodeling your home another place to allocated some of your reno spend wouth be upgrading your outlets to the modern Decora style.  Worn out electrical outlets are frustrating and fire hazards.  Adding GFCI's into your kitchen and bathroom is also a wise choice to keep everyone safe by today's electrical standards.

Electrical Panel.  Old electrical panels have fuses and are limited on available breaker space to add circuits as they were maxed out at time of construction.  Some insurance carriers will not insure a property that has fuses).   Many old panels are of inferior quality and can be a fire hazard with modern appliances that can put quite the strain on your electrical system.

Whole Home Surge Protectors.  Whole home surge protectors are typically wired to the electric service box and located nearby to protect all the appliances and electrical systems in a home.
