Electrical Appointment with CLIPSAL
We had our electrical appointment today. In general the appointment last for 1h30-2h and according to many people on forums, it is not enough time to cover a whole house with all the upgrades, but lucky for me, i spent hours making my own electrical plan before and I knew what I wanted extra, so it only took me 1h to go through the whole house upgrade with the staff. Wisdom Homes really give the basic inclusion in the house, 1 light/1 switch/1 double power point per room.
The good thing with Clipsal is that you know how much your upgrade will cost from their software and you can choose the upgrades to fit into your budget so after leaving the building, we knew exactly how much we would need to spend and we had a paper showing our electrical plan. Before the appointment, you can request a price list from Clipsal and they will email it to you. The total cost for my upgrades was around 2 600 dollars, I only chose the upgrades that were necessary.
Thing to consider when thinking about the electrical upgrades:
Must:
PowerPoint: location, how many needed, at which height
Light Switch: which side of the room to install, location of switch throughout the house
Light: location, how many needed
External light: location, how many needed, where to have a good coverage of the yard
TV/ Telephone point: where your planning of putting the TV and the telephone.
Extra:
Sensor light
Data point
Pay TV point
Square footer lights...
Tips: be aware of what upgrades you would like to have installed in your house, have an idea of where to install them. One idea is to act you are in your house right now and check where you would like to have the switch(which side of the room), where handy powerpoint location would be, how many lights you need per room, the garage/ living room/ kitchen.
