ᐅ Last chance to consider electrical provisions – ideas and tips

Hello everyone,

The preliminary work (chasing/chiseling, etc.) for the electrical installation has started, for now only inside the house.
I still have the opportunity to consider "important" things and/or extras and would like to get tips, ideas, or suggestions from you.

What is already planned:

- Sufficient electrical outlets (in every corner)
- Duplex LAN Cat.7 and satellite connections in every room (except, of course, bathrooms, utility rooms, etc.)
- Connections for access points on both ground floor and upper floor
- Switches and room thermostats
- Preparation for electric roller shutters

I’m only looking for ideas, not exact placement.
Maybe you have some great suggestions to share.

Thanks...

Have you already considered motion detectors?

Furthermore, I would recommend installing at least 4 network outlets in the living room around the TV area.
Then, a cable duct inside the wall for mounting the TV later on, so you can thread the cables through it.

Speaker cables if needed.

- Decorative lighting indoors/outdoors... i.e., cables at the appropriate locations.
- Two-way switches in bedrooms/hallways, etc., if no modern electrical system/wiring is planned.
- Shading control.
- Garden irrigation and power supply for robotic lawn mowers.
- ...

- Cat.7 at the front door and potential indoor station for the intercom system
- Cat.7 for access points

Preparation of cable from the utility room to the carport or garage for a wallbox, possibly even with LAN.

Empty conduit in the attic, for example, for LAN if you want to place an LTE or hybrid router up there.

LAN connections make particular sense in the utility room. Heating systems, heat pumps, ventilation units, photovoltaic inverters (if any of these are installed there) almost all have LAN ports nowadays. Some washing machines and dryers also have them occasionally.
