JP Electrical are your local, knowledgeable and experienced electricians, here to give you this guide on planning kitchen electrics in Honley.
If you’re planning on renovating or extending your kitchen, it’s essential that you assess your electrical needs vs your current supply to ensure that not only does your kitchen look good - but it is also practical and safe to use.
With kitchens containing so many electrical appliances, it’s important to ensure that proper planning has been done to ensure that the wiring for your kitchen is where it needs to be – and that you can actually plug in all those new gadgets!
1) Can your current electrical system handle the needs of your new Honley kitchen?
We understand when allocating a budget for kitchen renovations you may overlook the need for possible electrical remedial work but without good electrics, your new kitchen isn’t going to work very well. It’s likely a re-wire of your kitchen will be needed before construction work begins - this ensures that your kitchen continues to function smoothly and can handle the additional demands your new appliances will place upon it.
If any wiring faults or other electrical hazards are uncovered by an electrician during this process, it is a legal requirement that those issues are rectified.
Back to top2) What do I need to factor in when planning kitchen electrics in Honley?
When installing a new kitchen, there are many factors to consider when planning the design and layout. From functionality to style, it’s important to have a clear understanding of what it is you would like to get out of the kitchen - and what may be needed to deliver those results.
Some of the key things to consider when planning kitchen electrics are:
Lighting is a great way to set the tone of your new kitchen, it’s good to know what kind of style you’d like, whether it’s downlights or spotlights, or if you’d rather have statement lighting installed like a chandelier.
Under counter lighting and floor lighting is another great addition to your kitchen

Modern day kitchen renovation means there are so many more options for the finishes of your electrics, from Chrome to Steel - the small details matter
When planning the new layout of your kitchen, this may mean that the existing socket placement no longer works or would be unsafe to run wires to. You may need to consider factoring in the cost of installing new switches - if the work required is extensive it could be worth opting for a full re-wire of your kitchen instead.
