A home office needs more than a desk and a reliable internet connection. Computers, monitors, printers, lighting, chargers, and other equipment can quickly turn one small space into a tangle of cords and overloaded outlets.
Plan Power Around the Workspace
Think about where your desk, monitor, printer, and other equipment will be located before deciding where outlets should go. Conveniently positioned outlets can reduce the need for extension cords and make the workspace easier to keep organized.
Lighting should also be part of the electrical plan. A combination of overhead and task lighting can make the space more comfortable while reducing glare on screens.
Don’t Ignore the Electrical Load
If your home office has several devices running at the same time, it is important to make sure the existing electrical system can handle the demand safely. Frequent breaker trips, warm outlets, flickering lights, or buzzing sounds should not be ignored.
