Home renovation Eastern Suburbs electrician considerations
Are you planning a major renovation or a new home build in the future? Whilst it’s very easy to get carried away with the home design elements of your project, many homeowners tend to overlook basic practical considerations….especially around their electrical requirements.
Here are some important things that a licensed Eastern Suburbs electrician will recommend when renovating your home.
Eastern Suburbs electrician renovation checks
Before renovating get your wiring checked to cover any potential problems. This will ensure things like if you have enough power provisions, whether the wiring is up to code and safe, safety switches and if your existing light fittings are earthed and safe.
Older homes will usually require full or partial rewiring or a switchboard upgrade. This can be costed upfront and completed during the renovation project.
Completing your electrical wish list is a must. Ensure your wish list of electrical needs is covered in the long term, even if you cannot afford it all in the short term.
This is even more important if you are considering things such as:
- Air conditioning
- Pool or spa or even a sauna
- Cooking needs, such as induction cooktop or large electric ovens
- Type of water heating
- Floor heat
- Granny flat
- General increased power requirements.
These are also recommended for designing room layouts:
- Kitchens and bathrooms – consider all the electrical appliances you have. Double adapters are not a practical option in these rooms so make sure your needs are covered.
- Bedrooms – Consider bed placement for bedside power and also charging options for phones and tablets. Also consider if data/TV cable TV combination power point outlets requirements.
- Entertainment – This area requires a host of options, including multiple power points, data, TV and Cable TV, wired so that it is discreet and hidden from sight.
More importantly cheaper is definitely not better. Discuss any special electrical deals past your Eastern Suburbs electrician first, just to make sure it’s well worth it and won’t cause you problems down the track.
