When planning to start repairs in an apartment, it is important to carefully consider how and where electrical appliances will be located. Thanks to the competent planning of the placement of outlets, the apartment will not be cluttered with extra extension cords or tees. How to figure out how many outlets should be in the apartment?
Experienced experts suggest using a simple formula - recount the amount of electrical equipment in each room and add two or three spare connectors. There should be such a number of sockets that each time you do not have to look for free or spend time disconnecting another device.
Based on the standard layout of an ordinary two-room apartment, we can distinguish the following areas where sockets are needed: a corridor, a kitchen, a bathroom, a living room, a bedroom, a balcony. About three slots are usually installed in the corridor: for a call, a vacuum cleaner and one spare for a telephone or lamp.
When planning the installation of outlets in the kitchen, they rely on the location of the kitchen set (not forgetting the built-in lighting) and the number of household appliances. In addition to large appliances - a refrigerator, a dishwasher, electric stoves, cooker hoods, almost every kitchen has a microwave, electric kettle, slow cooker and more. This means that about 10 outlets can be allocated to the kitchen area.
Modern bathrooms also contain a number of electrical appliances: a boiler and a washing machine, for example. In addition, the outlet should be for a hairdryer or electric shaver, and, if necessary, for a illuminated mirror or dryer. So, for the bathroom, 3 sockets must be accurate.
In the living room, you need to build on the standard set of consumers of electricity: a TV and an audio system, consoles, lamps, sockets for gadgets for each chair and sofa. In total, there can be about 10 pieces per room, taking into account a pair of spare ones.
The bedroom may be less equipped with appliances, however, fixtures on each side of the bed, slots for charging gadgets, a connection point for an electric alarm clock and one or two free sockets are better there to plan. Additional outlets can be installed on the balcony, in the dressing room, in the pantry and so on. When calculating the number of slots, you should not forget about your hobbies - for example, an aquarium will require a separate continuous connection.
A well-thought out in advance layout of electrical appliances will help you accurately determine the optimal number of outlets and make your own home as comfortable as possible.
