Rewiring a Kitchen:
Licensed Electrician Tips
When it comes to remodelling the kitchen, a lot of changes are in order. The layout of appliances change and so does the electrical system. Hanging up the lighting and rearranging outlets not only gives the kitchen a completely different look but also opens the space up and customizes it according to your specific needs and desires.
Rewiring a kitchen is no easy task. Getting a certified electrician to help you do it is the best way of going about it. A meeting with your electrical contractor to talk about the plan and different ways of going about it can make the process that much easier. Here are a few things to discuss and plan with your electrical contactor beforehand.
Lighting
When remodelling the kitchen the opportunity to change up the lighting situation opens up. Every area of the kitchen may require different types of lighting. And according to the type of fixture, the wiring and placement will change. A practical plan must be drawn up taking advice of the electrical contractor to provide easy access to the lighting fixtures.
Appliances
Large appliances need dedicated circuits. If you plan on changing up the placements of appliances like the fridge and the microwave, these changes must be incorporated in the wiring too. Sizes of the circuits matter and is important to take this into consideration and plan accordingly.
Outlets
The kitchen requires many devices and tools that are electrically powered. This means that placements of convenient and ample outlets are very important. Putting in several outlets will save you front the frustration of constantly plugging in and out smaller devices as and when you need them.
Earthing
All appliances must be properly earthed. The large circuits as well as the smaller outlet must be earthed properly.
Once these changes have been discussed and planned, electrical installations of new and old devices will be easy and convenient. Your electrical contractor will oversee these fixings and make sure to give you a safe wiring system in your kitchen.
