Lighting and Ceiling Fans

Installing strategic lighting can do wonders to brighten up an area and add to the usefulness and convenience of different areas of the room. Inset lighting, track lights, variable intensity dimmers and decorative wall fixtures can be combined to create a whole new look and function to your kitchen. It may also be desirable to add fans or circulation devices to the kitchen to help keep the room cooler while cooking.

Current Appliances

Each of the existing major appliances will need a conveniently placed outlet with sufficient capability for that appliance's electrical needs. If you're thinking of moving any of your appliances to a different location, plan ahead, and discuss those locations and receptacle needs with your electrician.

New Appliances

When re-wiring the kitchen, consider the opportunity for new appliances. Microwave ovens, deep freezers, trash compactors or disposals, slow cookers, exhaust fans or other such items place extra demands on your electrical system, and each should be assigned its own receptacle.

Outlet Locations

Most kitchens are simply short on outlets, especially those in older homes. While planning the rewiring, consider places around the room where an outlet would be convenient, and discuss those possibilities with the electrician. Don't forget to add receptacles to any center island workstations and under any counter edges where you might someday need power.
