Renovation Mistake: Not Adding Enough Electrical Outlets

In today’s tech-driven homes, a shortage of electrical outlets is one of the most frustrating renovation oversights. Many homeowners only replace old outlets without considering how many more are needed for modern living.

The result is a constant shuffle of extension cords and power strips, which not only looks messy but can also become a safety hazard. Kitchens often need extra outlets for small appliances, bedrooms for charging devices, and living rooms for entertainment systems. Even outdoor spaces benefit from well-placed outlets for lighting, tools, or holiday décor.

Planning ahead ensures convenience. Adding outlets during renovation is far easier and cheaper than retrofitting later. Positioning them strategically—at counters, workspaces, and along hallways—makes everyday life smoother and safer.

Overlooking outlets may seem minor, but it can make a freshly renovated home feel outdated. A thoughtful electrical plan keeps pace with technology and maximizes functionality.
