The electric is the most commonly overlooked component to any TV install. Everyone seems to consider how they're going to connect everything, but rarely do our customers consider how they'll power it. It's against code to fish your TV's power cable thru the wall (or any product's power cable for that matter). In addition, installing a traditional outlet behind the TV typically leaves the TV susceptible to a power surge. As a result, we typically install a power bridge. See the diagram below. Start at the bottom right of the diagram with the standard electric outlet. It's important to start with this outlet because you're essentially plugging your TV into this outlet. The bridge simply extends it safely thru the wall to the TV via standard ROMEX electrical wiring. Aside from avoiding unsightly exposed power cables, the key advantage to the power bridge is the ability to run your entire system -- mounted TV and all components -- thru a surge protector. As shown above, the surge protector plugs into the wall and everything else plugs into it. When installed, the top and bottom portion of the power bridge are about the size of a standard quad outlet. See below for an image of where we marked off the bottom portion of the power bridge to cutout. This gives you size perspective in comparison to a standard cable or dual electric outlet.

Installing a Drawer outlet is the perfect answer to cord management for your charging station. Also, with GFCI protection can be safely installed in a bathroom to allow a place for electric toothbrushes, hair dryers and razors to stay plugged in and convenient without cords laying across your counter-top.

A flip down drawer front makes for an easy way to conceal an outlet

Stone / Tile Backsplash has newly hand painted finish on electrical outlets and switch plates. This not only is a great surprise to find the missing electrical outlets but very clean and elegant way getting rid of the clutter of white patches on your beautiful backsplash!

If you look very closely you will see the hidden outlet under the island counter top. This is perfect for when you need a convenient outlet as you work on your kitchen island. Designer - Kim Platt @ Kitchen Intuitions Photos by Chris Veith

By mounting an outlet strip directly under the cabinets, the backsplash design is uninterrupted.

Hidden stainless steel outlets were strategically placed in the counter top to avoid the picturesque view of the marble wall back splash.

Mirrored Cabinet Electric Option - interior closeup Our innovative design offers the convenience of electrical outlets in a mirrored cabinet. This feature will enhance your grooming experience and provide additional electrical accessory storage. Our option allows for storage and charging of most electric toothbrushes in a 4" deep cabinet. An integral LED light illuminates the interior of the cabinet with a warm, subtle light that is especially ideal for night time use. GlassCrafters’ electric option also includes a heated defogger in the cabinet door to keep your mirror mist free.

David Woo Designs We had to put outlets on the island but didn't want them visible on the sides or on the surface of the counter. We had no option but to put them where the counter waterfalled down the ends of the island. To hide them we had the counter installer cut a hole where we had recessed the outlet. Then the installer cut a separate plug from a spare piece of counter to fit the hole and match the pattern. Three rare earth magnets epoxied to the back of the counter plug holds it in place over the outlet. It is removed by pushing in on the bottom which forces the top to pop out so it can be removed. The magnets stick to three screws which allow the plug to be adjusted to be perfectly flush with the surface. When the counter plug is in, the location of the outlet is nearly invisible. No one has ever found it without being told where it is.
