        "text": "In older Denver and Aurora homes, original kitchen layouts often have inadequate electrical capacity, outdated wiring, and undersized range vents. Mid-century and historic houses frequently rely on 60- or 100-amp main panels that cannot support multiple high-draw appliances like induction ranges, double wall ovens, and built-in microwaves simultaneously. Remodeling often requires running home runs back to the panel or performing a service upgrade. Additionally, exterior wall framing in older properties may need custom furring or headers to accommodate modern ductwork and recessed utility boxes.",
