How to Get Electricity to a Kitchen Island

Kitchen islands are extremely useful, as they can provide much needed counterspace. However, installing electrical outlets on your island can truly maximize its usefulness. With electrical power running to your kitchen island, you can reconfigure your appliances, such as your stove and oven, or use the island for small appliances like blenders and crockpots. It also offers additional space for family members to charge their electronics or use a laptop, which creates a much more versatile space for a modern household. At Mr. Electric of Fort Worth, we offer premium residential and commercial electrical services including new outlet installation, repair and replacement. Are you considering adding an outlet to your kitchen island? Here are some tips on how to make it happen. 

Choose Your Outlet Style

The guys were super nice, I loved that they did the work immediately. Also after having a discussion with them about the static electricity from a lightenimg strike we had and it fried everything they suggested a surge protector to keep that from happening again. So we did that.

Scheduled an appointment with Mr Electric of Fort Worth and received a call  they were able to show up early and had Dylan show up on time stocked with a full truck. He was able to diagnosis the issue quickly and restore my power to a few plugs that were causing the breakers to trip continuously. Dylan was very knowledgable, clearly explained the cause and how he would fix the issue, and addressed all concerns that we had. He was replaced two breakers and installed 2 new outlets along with diagnosing the problem in about an hour. Very quick and so far seems to have resolved our electrical issue. Would definitely recommend Mr Electric of Fort Worth!

Dylan was so nice and always on time. Very qualified and explained everything he needed to do in a way I understood. My older house required an outside panel so I had a lot of work but Dylan and his helper worked together very well and finished on time so I was not out of power more than needed. Everything looked and worked great when done. I don't know how he was able to replace the cracked power pole and wiring on my roof so quickly and beautifully. I am very, very impressed with his skill level and would request him for any future work. The company is very well organized and office contact was a pleasure to work with(which is rare since these positions are usually underpaid)so reward her well, she is the "door" to your organization. She and Dylan sealed my deal!

Cody was professional, knowledgeable, and was able to provide me with a quick diagnosis pertaining to a wiring issue in one of my rooms. He gave me the price for the repair/modification and fixed the issue all in less than an hour. Thanks Cody!

The first step is to choose an outlet type that fits your unique needs and lifestyle. Options may include recessed outlets which will keep plugs nice and tidy, popup outlets that lay flush against the countertop until they are needed or USB outlets that provide an easy way to charge your most used devices. If you want to install a major appliance in the island, such as a cooktop, oven, warming drawer or microwave, then you may need a dedicated circuit installation as well.  

Prepare the Area for New Wiring

Next, the island will need to be removed temporarily, so that holes can be drilled through the flooring and island. This will allow the hidden wiring to be introduced to the island area with minimum exposure. After drilling the holes and securing the wires in the appropriate locations, the island can be carefully put back into place.

Install a GFCI Circuit Breaker and Connect the Wiring

Finally, the GFCI circuit breaker will need to be installed on the electrical panel, and the connection between the island’s GFCI outlet and the junction box will need to be completed. This step should only be performed by someone with extensive professional training. Incorrect installation of the wiring could result in personal injury, electrical fires and other hazards. A certified electrician will have the specialized tools and hands on experience needed to properly install your outlets without worrying about code violations or safety risks.
