Renovating? Plan Your Electrical Before the Walls Close

Bathroom, kitchen, extension or knockdown rebuild. What to plan with your electrician at the start to save money later.

Where will you charge phones, plug in the vacuum, sit to read, or put the TV? Power and lighting placed for real life beats a standard layout.

Plan lighting, mirror power, heated towel rails and a properly ducted exhaust fan at rough-in.

Appliances need dedicated circuits. Add bench power, strip lighting under cabinets and power for the island.

Extensions, pools and EV chargers add load. Check the board early so an upgrade can be scheduled with the build.

Underground supply, a sub-board and enough power for your tools. Sizing the cable for the distance matters.
