Hi, we had our electrical consultation on Friday to discuss where everything should be installed.

Attached is a plan showing how we planned it with the electrician. Almost all our wishes were included; there were hardly any suggestions for improvement.

In the pictures, the power outlets are marked in orange.

For internet/telephone, we only have 2 lines. He wanted to charge 108€ per outlet for more lines, so we are now doing it ourselves, meaning there will be an internet connection in every room.

Living room: 4-2-4 power outlets plus TV, and 2 plus another 2 outlets.

Hallway: 1 outlet at the front and at the back, plus a telephone connection.

Utility room: besides the appliances themselves, for washing machine and dryer there are 2 individual outlets.

Guest WC: 1 outlet.

Home office: 3 power outlets plus telephone and TV, and 2 times 1 outlet.

Upstairs:

Children’s rooms: 3 outlets plus TV and 2 times 2 outlets.

Dressing room: 2 individual outlets in the middle at the top (for Ikea Pax light). Also, the light switch for the bedroom is in the dressing room... is that a good setup? (Red dot-arrow)

Bedroom: 3 outlets plus TV, and next to the bed, 3 outlets on each side (would it be better to have these lower or slightly higher so they are above the bedside table? Since baby monitors, phones, etc. are plugged in daily.)

Storage room: 2 individual outlets.

Bathroom: 2 outlets on the left side of the vanity wall. Additionally, a ceiling light in front of the shower. Are there any suggestions for improvement here? Should one outlet be left there with a spotlight that shines into the shower, or use that one outlet to install LED spots in the ceiling?

Hallway at the back: 1 outlet.

So, now the pictures follow, which hopefully are clear.

I would appreciate your feedback and suggestions for improvements.

That is decided by the grid operator. No one else, neither the electrician nor the customer.

Having 3 RCDs is already a good start. Which types were installed? 40A or 63A? The capacity of the fuses behind an RCD should match the capacity of the RCD itself, or there needs to be a current limitation upstream. Rows 1 and 2 are likely supplied by the first RCD.

For a total investment of €100, gifted.

Hi, I finally received a response from the electrician today. I find the prices, especially for the satellite system, extremely overpriced.
What do you think?
