Electrical Plans

Prestige Electrical are the crew that take care of things for Provincial homes.

You'll head over to their offices and sit down with the lovely lady to go through your needs. They will send you a draft plan in advance, and give you a chance to have a think about what you want.

We went through it room by room, and tried to visualise how it would be used. The standard number of light and powerpoints weren't enough for us so we had to add quite a few.

However our budget didn't really allow for too much money to be spent in this area, so there will be some things we will have to do when we are further down the line.

We spent $1,770 with additional electrical, a little over our budget of $1,500 but some things would have been too hard to do later. We will have to change some lights to downlights and add a few more lights into the eaves sometime down the line. We saved money by placing some powerpoints so that later on we could add one to the opposite wall. Going with single powerpoints instead of doubles for the additionals. We figrued we will need an electrician to install a few lights so we could always swap some for doubles down the line.

Overall pretty happy with Prestige and the process they have in place. We really didn't have the budget to do anything crazy, or even price anything crazy so didn't bother.
