The Kitchen Services - Electrical, Gas and Plumbing Connections
Deciding on the best location of the kitchen 'services' - the collective name given to electrical, gas and plumbing connections - is fundamental to good kitchen design. Getting it right first time around will save you time and money down the track. Due consideration should be made to the current position of the service connections in the unrenovated kitchen - keeping them in the same position will help to keep renovation costs down. Of course, if the current service points are inadequate, an efficient-running kitchen should take precedence over the short-term cost savings.
