Building or Renovating Your Kitchen?

Kitchens are the heart of the home. We spend a lot of time there preparing meals, making coffee to start our day, or finding wine glasses at the end of it.

If you’re building a new home or renovating and are looking for kitchen ideas, look no further.

Mister Sparky can help you design and create a kitchen that adds a personal touch and boosts your home’s value.

Lighting Your Kitchen

More than anything else, lighting effects the way we think and feel about a space. Lighting a kitchen poses more challenges than other rooms in the house because of its versatility.

You may need some bright feature or work lighting so you can see what you’re preparing, some inconspicuous strip-lighting underneath benches for safety, and dimmer lights if your kitchen opens into a dining or entertainment area. LED lights will also reduce your energy consumption over time, helping to lower your power bill.

Harsh work lights while you’re entertaining guests or dim mood lighting while chopping vegetables would be a disaster, so don’t leave good lighting to chance. Mister Sparky can help you design and create a lighting plan to balance your kitchen’s needs.

Kitchen Ventilation

Your oven is state of the art, but when dinner is simmering away the windows fog up and it gets harder to see the bench in front of you. You could open a window, but in summer that welcomes in insects while in winter you let in the cold.

Electric ventilation or range hoods can remove extra moisture and steam in a kitchen to keep your home clear and dry. They’ll also clear away smoke if dinner doesn’t quite go as planned.

Kitchen Switchgear

The kitchen is probably home to the most electrical appliances. Besides the large ticket electrical items like fridges and ovens, kitchens also host a range of blenders, slow cookers, electric jugs, coffee machines, electric fry pans and so much more. How would you like to plug them in?

Not all electric switchgear or sockets are equal. Mister Sparky can match electrical sockets to your colour scheme or interior design so they look right at home. If you would prefer your electrical sockets out of the way, Mister Sparky can install concealed or pop-up switches that are visible only when you need them.

Tell us how you use your kitchen and Mister Sparky will make sure your electrical sockets will be right where you need them.

Sensors and Automation

Picture this, you’re up to your elbows in dough when you remember an extra ingredient in your pantry. The last thing you want to do is fumble for light switches with wet or sticky hands. No worries. As you walk to your pantry, the light automatically comes on and you see exactly what you need.

Mister Sparky can provide automation gear for any level of electrical automation or sophistication. It can be as simple as a light that turns on and off with the pantry door, motion sensors that activate lights when you enter a room, or timers to turn your coffee machine on right before you need it in the mornings.

The possibilities with automation are endless, so have a chat with the team at Mister Sparky about turning your ideas into a reality.
