How many socket outlets should be reserved in Hong Kong home renovations? 5 key points on socket outlet planning and advice on reserving socket positions

When renovating a new home, it is advisable to reserve sockets according to the space: 6 to 8 in the living room, 4 to 6 in bedrooms, starting with 8 to 10 in the kitchen with a further 2 to 3 kept as spares, and 3 to 5 in the work area. Before construction, the appliance list and furniture dimensions should be marked on the socket layout diagram for cross-checking, and the circuit load confirmed. Socket installation, relocation or modification should be handled by a registered electrical contractor; do not use extension leads as a substitute for power supply planning.
