Rewiring:
1. Obtain the existing documentation, electrical drawing. If you do not have, make one before attempting to rewire.
2. Note down the minute details of the existing drawings, terminal number etc
3. Note down the wire type, sizes.
Carry out the rewiring.
Modification:
1. Obtain the existing documentation, electrical drawing. If you do not have, make one before attempting to rewire. 2. Note down the minute details of the existing drawings, terminal number etc
3. Prepare a modified drawing, with terminal numbers etc.
Carry out modification.
Understand the functionality and ensure you have the same or modified functionality after rewiring or modification. Test the circuit before you hand over to the end user.

If you change your panel do you have to rewire the whole house?
Not necessarily. It would depend on the condition of the wiring. If it is an older house with cloth covered wires it may be advisable to rewire. If existing wiring is aluminum you might also consider rewiring. Depending on the length of wires that enter the current box, you may need some external junction boxes.
200 amp breaker panel supp-ling 1000watt grow light 30 amp breaker is trpping what could the problem be?
I can think of 3 possible problems. 1. The most likely problem is you have a bad light. Try replacing it with another light, even one that is not a grow light, to see if the breaker still trips. My guess is it won't which means you need a new grow light. 2. If the circuit still trips, you likely have a problem with the circuit wiring itself. You may need to hire a competent electrician to fix this problem by rewiring the circuit. 3. The least likely problem, but it is easier to check than #2, is a bad breaker. There is no magical way to check this. Buy a new one, replace the old one, and see if that works. There isn't anything else that can be wrong. After checking all three things, you've checked everything on the circuit. If you still have problems a competent electrician will need to check the circuit more closely.
Should you expect a contractor to punch holes in the walls during rewiring of your house?
Yes indeedy, if any of your electrical wiring is behind wall/floor/ceiling covering such as dry wall, plaster, tile or wood. The LICENSED electrician needs to see your connections to determine not only what problem u might have, but also to see how to correct it. NOTE: Most local governments (Canada & USA) require a gov't permit before any wiring or re-wiring is done. If your contractor doesn't get one, u can. If the work is done and not covered up, ask for an official inspector. Call your city hall to find out. Hope this helps.
I need an electrician in my home for some rewiring, how can I find one who is licensed?
The best way to find a licensed electrician is to use an online service. Many sites like Networx will locate a licensed electrician and let you see reviews about their service. You can also check you local yellow pages under electricians and look for a licensing logo, then call you Better Business Bureau to check them out. Remember, you are not obligated to choose an electrician you don't trust after a consultation or estimate, so always get a few estimates before work is done. You can use several webpages such as Yellow Pages or Super pages to find a licensed electrician. Some websites also offer satisfaction guarantees for the contracted work. I recommend super pages for this.
How Dow you wire a 120 volt main to a 200 volt air conditioner?
You could use a transformer in theory if a 200 volt ac unit is single phase. You must mean a 220 unit. 120 uses 3 wires, hot neutral and ground. 220 has two hots a neutral and a ground. A 2 phase motor is more economical than a single phase motor. That is why all larger units are 220. I have seen people change the breaker to a 220 and use the ground as a second hot to avoid the cost of rewiring, but don;t do it. It is against building codes ,and you don't want to break the law, not to mention it is a fire hazard. Long story short, how can I use an appliance made for 220 with a 120 source, you can not. The larger unit draws more current than a 120 can supply. If you found some way to wire it the wires will heat up and if your breaker fails you have a fire. Ignorance is not covered by home owner insurance.

When rewiring or modifying a circuit How do you conduct any necessary checks to ensure that the completed modification or rewiring complies with all appropriate standards?
If a circuit is being changed, first make a modified drawing to fulfill the requirement. Once you have the correct modified drawing, get the wiring changed. test the circuit for safety and functionality to ensure what you have done is correct. Compare the modified drawing against the standards you followed.
