The $10k of electrical upgrades I went for means paying an extra avo smash per week for the life of the home loan... You have avo smash? How are you affording a house?? :lol::lol: Re: Electrical Appointment Tips 5Jul 17, 2019 1:13 pm Re the power points, go crazy!. My builder only charged $50 for a double, and I put in heaps...but now still finding places where I would have liked one. Re the TV, I put a powerpoint at TV level, and then a bullnose plate and duct going down to the bottom where your equipment will be, so that you can run whatever you want in it, ie aerial, data, HDMI, USB extension etc. This is better than getting the builder to run your cables as you don't know what will need in the future. You don't want to run your power through there though (+ I think it is illegal) Also, also ask if they can put in an extra noggin where you want the TV and ceiling fans in future. Also worth putting in wiring for future ceiling fans - my builder charged $20 each I would also run a data point for each TV so that you don't have to rely on wifi Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Electrical Appointment Tips 6Jul 17, 2019 1:33 pm brokenstick Re the power points, go crazy!.
