If you are thinking of starting your own business, or your job allows you the option to work from home, having an office space that makes sense is essential. Rather than just throwing a desk and computer into your spare bedroom, to make your office a complete success will require a little bit of planning. When you plan out the space, you will be much happier with how it turns out. Simon Electric is here to share some tips for the electrical side of setting up a home office.

Home Office Setup Checklist

In the day and age that we live in, you know that anytime you are working from home, it is going to require a great deal of technical support. To keep things up and running, there are some things that you should consider when setting up your home office. Here are our best tips.
– Have Multiple Outlets Installed: The amount of equipment that one needs to set up a home office is incredible. Modems, printers, chargers, fax machines, power backups, computers and on and on need to have outlets so they can operate. If you have a layout in mind for your home office, make sure you don’t only put outlets in that area. You may find that you need to move things around and want to have the ability to do so.
– Incorporate Home Ethernet Wiring: While WIFI may be sufficient for your day to day internet use, no one can deny that fast internet is important for any business. When you are using hardwired ethernet for your computer, you will find that it is more reliable and faster as well. In your plans for your home office, consider having that wired in for your computer.
– Whole Home Surge Protector Installation: If you are still looking for more outlets for your equipment, power strips can be extremely helpful. That way, you won’t worry about running out of outlets that are needed. It is also important to note that your equipment needs to be protected against power surges. This is where hardwired surge protectors come in to play. They will help make it so that you don’t have to worry about your equipment getting ruined when a power surge comes.

Comfy Home Office

When you are working, it is important that you are comfortable. There are several studies that show how important your comfort is to your productivity. It is important enough that you may consider putting your home office on its own HVAC system to ensure this comfort is always met. That will require some planning or even looking into portable options that can be used in the space.
