I don't think it's that intense. We have almost no single sockets (the extra cost is minimal since the wiring is being installed anyway) and when I look at how many power strips we currently use. Example living room/TV area: TV, receiver, CD player, amplifier with two sockets, Wii for the kids, BluRay player, accessories for the amplifier to make it Wi-Fi capable ==> 8 sockets! Two illuminated display cabinets ==> 2 sockets Charging cables notebook + phone ==> 2 sockets Two lamps ==> 2 sockets Vacuum cleaner connection ==> at least 1 socket Without a free socket, I already have 15 devices that need a socket. My wife would also like to have a socket at every window for Christmas decorations etc. So I'm already at 20 sockets just in the living room! In the kitchen, it goes on like this: connections fridge, freezer, microwave, extractor hood, lighting in cabinets, lighting under wall cabinets, various sockets at the countertop. Just walk through your current apartment/house and look at what devices are connected, what might still be added, etc. If you don't do it now, you'll regret it later (bathroom: "It would have been nice to have a socket here. Now I have to dry my hair, the electric toothbrush needs charging, the husband also has to deal with the electric shaver and it's already tight.)

At our electrician, the double socket costs a net 61.20 euros including chasing/cable pulling. They are Gira Event frames with System 55 sockets (with increased touch protection = child-safe). However, we do not have a developer, but have commissioned the electrician directly.

You can also overdo it with power outlets. You should think carefully about where you want to have them. Covering everything with outlets isn’t the solution either. In the study, where the desk is supposed to go, for example, I only installed a triple socket. Knowing that I will use multi-plug adapters there anyway. Because at least 14 sockets that I would have needed there would have been a bit over the top... ^^

I’d like to see that fully stacked desk – 14 devices – respect!

We have thought carefully about the socket locations, but I don’t want to see any more power strips in our house (probably it won’t work anyway). Fortunately, there are only a few critical points (desk, TV corner).

Sorry,
this is something that is not okay.
1. You exceed the number of sockets per circuit (about 10 pieces)
2. you extend the cable length, which can lead to the fuse not tripping or not tripping in time
3. Most multi-sockets are not designed for the corresponding loads.
4. Quote: "According to DIN, multi-sockets are not allowed to replace a deficient electrical installation" --> Kaffeeruler
with which he is also right.
As an electrical master, I can only bang my head against the wall at this statement.
