Electrical outlets should be planned during the design stage of the house. Forgetting an outlet can lead to extension cords, visible cables and expensive modifications after the walls have already been finished.
Outlets on both sides of the bed are useful for phones, lamps, clocks and other devices.
This is where appliances such as kettles, coffee makers, blenders and toasters are commonly used. The number and position of outlets should be planned together with the kitchen furniture and appliances.
In addition to the television, you may need outlets for a router, game console, soundbar, receiver and other devices.
Outlets may be needed for a washing machine, hair dryer and other appliances. Their location must comply with electrical safety requirements for wet areas.
An outdoor outlet can be useful for lighting, power tools, a vacuum cleaner or other equipment.
A hallway outlet can be useful for a vacuum cleaner, charging devices and other equipment.
Outdoor outlets can be useful for power tools, pressure washers, decorative lighting or charging an electric vehicle.
A well planned electrical system is not only about having enough outlets. Their position, height, separate circuits for high power appliances and protection in wet and outdoor areas are also important.
It is much easier and cheaper to plan the outlets before finishing the walls than to open them up after the house is completed.
