When building a new home, the home owner has to be aware of many things. But perhaps, one of the most important thing you need to keep in mind while building a new house is the electrical wiring. The Sparkies Electrical team has put together a list of tips that pro electricians suggest sticking with while wiring a new home. Most of these tips are just good practices in general, but a few of these are vital to new homes.
t might be a good idea to wait until your frame is built before you start planning the wiring and power point placements. This is because then you can decide where exactly you want your appliances and power points. Sometimes, looking the physical frame provides more clarity in this regard than looking at a blue print or plan.
It is important that you discuss your wiring plans with an electrician before you get someone to wire your new home. Electricians can give you valuable insight into what is realistic and what is not. They can also offer advice on what sort of cable goes where and what fittings might be best for you. Since they are pros, it would pay off to take into account their opinions. Then you can research and cross check for yourself!
Electricians always suggest leaving room for future electric endeavors you might have. Sure, an electric car doesn’t look like a serious possibility at the moment, but who knows what the future holds? That example might be a little too farfetched, but the point still stands. It is a great idea to leave room for more cabling and wiring in your home because there might be a need for new power points or electrical outlets if you extend your home.
Finally it all comes down to good planning, research and budgeting. Once you are ready with all that, Sparkies Electical can come down to your new Gold Coast home and wire it for you. So don’t hesitate to call!
