Electrical Question - moving wires

[sandyut]

We had some home renovations scheduled for months...so we kept the schedule.

One was removing a half wall and replacing with banister/handrail to open it up...

Found electrical in there...Seems like an electrician could move these fairly easily right? Getting a sanity check before my electrician makes it over next week.

easy or not they can be moved. just more drywall work. easy patches too. (ive been a drywaller since 86)

First thing is you need to know what it feeds . Let Sparky handle it , they'll know what needs to be done . A good Electrician won't need to open up walls as a first approach to move those .
Just depends on where they go , and what they feed .

Stretching wires requires junction boxes for the splices unless you can replace the wires to reroute.
If the window on the right side is on a walking level it needs a guard to prevent a trip , crash, & fall.

It should not be a big deal if they know what they are doing.

I just had a new electric line and water line run thru the attic and down the walls this week for a reef tank I am setting up. I explained what I needed and they had it done that day. The walls were patched up and will be re-painted at a later date.

I needed a separate 20a circuit with GFCI and a RO-DI line run from the garage Reverse Osmosis water purifier to where the fish tank is being setup.

Thanks guys, I can do real basic electrical, but moving wires is well out of my skills.

Happy hear an electrician can do this fairly easily. Hes coming over shortly to have a look see.

I want pics and specs of the reef tank?

Just like y'all said, totally doable...for my electrician. Hes a great guy, lives close by and charges fairly. Gonna have a few more breakers added to the generator while he's here. Missed the downstairs gas fireplace and a couple outlets that would be handy. The fireplace is needed for heat during winter outages and without power it runs on AA batteries which last about a day.

Yeah, pretty easy job. The more you can ID what is what the faster it goes. Knowing what breaker they are on and what it is powering would help considerably.

160 Gallons. I will make a post once it's up and running.
