Electrics in an Extension
The purpose of an extension is to increase you current living space. This could be adding a simple porch or you may be going the full works by adding multiple bedrooms in your loft. However you decide to make use of your extra space, you are going to need a professional to supply the lighting and power outlets.
Afte the initial design has been created for your room, you can then think about where to put the plug sockets for gadgets and appliances. It is always best to overestimate the number of sockets needed. With the growth of electrical devices, the demand for power is increasing and you never know when you’ll need that extra socket. It is easier to install more sockets when initially adding power to a room than causing disruptions at a later date. Nobody wants to see extension cables taking over a newly refurbished room.
As well as power sockets in your new space, it is also important to think about the lighting. Bright lights are ideal for a working office but may not be suitable for creating a calm atmosphere in a bedroom. Precision Electrical are experienced in domestic lighting and can assist you in choosing the correct lighting for your extension.
Who can Install Electrics in an Extension?
Installing electrics in an extension is a large project, especially if power is required in multiple rooms. To ensure the safety of your home electrical systems, any electrical work must be carried out by a qualified electrician. They will start with an initial assessment and will check the condition of your consumer unit to see if it can carry the additional power demands from the extension. A new consumer unit may need to be installed if not.
Poorly installed consumer units can be dangerous. An inexperienced and unqualified electrician will not only increase the risk of hazards but will also cost you more when the electrics need correcting. Always check out an electrician’s qualifications before asking them to carry out electrical work on your home. On completion of the electrics in an extension, your chosen electrician will provide you with certification stating the work carried out meets current electrical regulations.
