Why consider kitchen electrical upgrades?
If you’re itching to start a new renovation project at your Gillingham home such as upgrading your kitchen space or planning a kitchen extension, you’re going to need a qualified electrician to focus on kitchen electrical upgrades.
The kitchen is one of the main rooms in a property where electrical appliances are used in abundance. Think about all those gadgets you might have such as the coffee machine, toaster and smoothie maker. In addition to smaller portable appliances, you might want to install an electric cooker alongside the refrigerator, washing machine and tumble dryer. Larger appliances have a greater demand for power so you’ll need to take this into consideration during early planning stages of your kitchen upgrade.
Safety aspects of kitchen electrical upgrades
Special consideration is taken into account for all electrical installations in a kitchen or bathroom due to the presence of water and heat. Our team of electricians follow BS7671, the standard for wiring and electrical installations which actually states that enhanced safety measures need to be put in place when considering kitchen electrical upgrades in homes such as your property in Gillingham.
While planning kitchen electrical upgrades with clients in Gillingham, we can offer our expert advice on safety measures such as outlet placement. For example, plug sockets must be installed a minimum of 450mm above ground level to prevent any contact with water.
