If you’re adding a house extension to your home in Bracknell or planning a new build, have you considered the electrical installations? Of course, you’ll be focused on the floorplan, furniture and décor, but those behind-the-scenes systems shouldn’t be overlooked.
The local emergency electricians at RBE Electrical Ltd have put together a few tips you may like to follow to ensure the smooth running of electrical rewires or installations. We’re expert domestic electricians, commercial electricians and industrial electricians, helping you with everything from electrical PAT testing and office lighting installations to data cabling and 3-phase power.
Below are some things to consider when planning new wiring projects. Key questions to ask yourself include:
At the planning stage, consider the positioning of all sockets, lighting systems and cables. This is relatively easy if you’re working on a new build or extension, but retrofitting an existing property can be awkward. Our local emergency electricians can help determine the best placement of electrical components and make sure any new wires are concealed for a clean finish.
Also, think even further. You never know when you might change the layout of your home or premises, so leave enough cabling for alternative lighting installations.
Our domestic, commercial and industrial electricians in Bracknell check to make sure your existing wiring, sockets and switches are in perfect working order, along with the consumer board and its components. Newer and well-maintained properties usually only need repairs, upgrades or partial rewires.
However, if you have an older or neglected property, you might need to consider updating the entire system. Not only will this make your property run more efficiently, but it will also guarantee you peace of mind.
Furthermore, business clients moving to new premises can benefit from rewiring or upgrades carried out by our commercial electricians, ensuring your new workspace meets your needs.
Whether it’s a domestic, commercial or industrial premises in Bracknell, the kitchen area is the one place that can never have enough electrical outlets. Besides fixed appliances, such as the cooker and extractor fan, don’t forget your kettle, coffee machine, food mixer, toaster and microwave. RBE Electrical’s experienced local emergency electricians recommend inserting outlets into the worktop so they can be concealed when not in use.
For ultimate safety and function in the kitchen, you can also make use of our electrical PAT testing (Portable Appliance Testing) service.
Don’t forget the exterior. At some stage, you’ll need an outside socket for the lawnmower and other gardening equipment. You might also need lighting for a patio or outside sockets for commercial use.
Whatever your requirements, our domestic and commercial electricians, and industrial electricians, can help with a number of suggestions and services.
