Adding power points
Extra power points should be planned around circuit capacity, furniture, appliance loads and safe access.
- Avoid overloading power boards
- Plan for home offices and entertainment areas
- Consider dedicated circuits for heavy loads
Older wiring
Older properties can have mixed wiring from different renovation periods. A simple request can reveal broader issues.
- Ask whether existing wiring is suitable
- Clarify access and patching
- Expect possible hidden findings
Small business needs
Retail and hospitality premises may need power for POS, refrigeration, displays, signage, lighting, kitchen equipment and security systems.
- Map equipment locations
- Allow for future changes
- Keep circuits labelled
