Our electrical extension process

Planning Stage

Renelec Electrical Services understands electrical work needs to be considered at the earliest stages of a project and we will assist you in the electrical design process for your construction or renovation work.

There are all sorts of control panels and power points that you may need in your home including heating and cooling, lighting, and home security.

It’s a good idea to decide early what kind of technology you intend to use in your home so you know exactly what control panels and outlets you will have.

We can assist you with deciding on the least obtrusive positioning of all electrical points and panels and will do a thorough walk-through with you on-site.

Rough-in Stage

At the rough-in stage, our electricians will run all required cables within the house frame, basic lines are laid out without making the final connections.

  • Cables are run throughout the building to all power points, switches, light fittings, and appliances. The building may also be wired for phone services, intercom, computer cabling, home theatre, and home security systems.
  • We review working drawings to understand the location of all installations and to review the manufacturers’ specifications for all appliances to ensure they are connected to suitable wiring.

Fit Off Stage

Once work such as painting, tiling, and carpentry is complete the electrical “fit-off” stage can commence.

All power outlets, light switches, and light fittings, appliances, and smoke detectors are installed.

The switchboard, safety switches, and circuit breakers are also fitted out.

Testing Stage

Possibly the most crucial stage in an electricians’ work, the testing stage tests and energises the installation to verify all installations are safe and compliant with the Australian Standard AS/NZS 3000.

All construction wiring, including switchboards and wiring within transportable structures, must be inspected, tested, and certified by a licensed electrician before connection to the mains supply and whenever alteration, additions or repairs are carried out.

Common questions asked to our extension electricians in Adelaide

When looking at the extension it is imporant to work out where all your electrical power points, lights & applainces are going to go. 

Along with this, working out how many you will need, what you will be needing them for & how you are going to access them. For example, if you know you are going to wall mount your TV the power cord, tv antenna, etc can all be behind the tv. 

By working this out you can design the home strategically. 

More specifically in relation to energy efficiency and saving this can come down to lighting position, as well as the lights themselves. We can help advise how many lights you would need for a given room, making sure not to overdo it in the number of lights. 

Adding to this we can help advise if adding solar would be beneficial for your new build as well. To learn more about solar please click here.

When doing an extension power socket placement and tv installation is a common questions we get asked.

Wall mounting the tv is a great modern option, but making sure you have enough power outlets behind the TV is key. Things to consider in relation to this are the following:

  • TV takes up 1 PowerPoint
  • Foxtel, fetch Optus box or something similar will take up 1 PowerPoint
  • Google Chromecast with google tv = 1 PowerPoint
  • DVD/blue ray player = 1 PowerPoint
  • Gaming console (Playstation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, etc) = 1 power point, sometimes 2 depending on additional accessories.

So depending on your set up having a power socket/outlet with 4 to 6 power points might be needed to keep the area neater, and reduce the need for a power board or extension cords which are annoying.

Kitchens

Power outlets/sockets in the kitchen are another questions we get asked.

Working out how you want to best use your kitchen & the appliances you have is key to working out what you need in each location.

We also find that having power outlets/sockets with USB points is a must as a lot of people charge their phones in the kitchen as it is a hub of most homes. 

The short answer to this is yes.

Pricing wise there isn’t much difference, & having the convenience of being able to charge your phone, iPad or USB charing device anywhere in the house does come in handy.

We generally have these types of power points situated in the kitchen, loungeroom & bedrooms. But also in home offices, entertainment rooms, and sometimes outdoor entertaining areas.

With more and more smart technology using USB charging laundries & bathrooms might be needed as well.
