A row of outlets looks simple until you're the one fitting it. Get the layout wrong and you're back on site a week later moving a bracket six inches to the left. This is the checklist we'd hand an installer before the first module goes on the wall.
Start with the room, not the outlet
Before any bracket goes up, walk the room and count what actually needs power: TV and soundbar, a router, a games console, lamps, a laptop charger. Each device is one output. Add a couple of spares for whatever gets plugged in next year — a modular system is only worth the extra fitting time if the customer isn't calling you back in twelve months to add one more.
If you're doing more than one room on the same job, count outputs room by room before you buy anything. It's the difference between carrying exactly what you need and making a second trip to the van.
Choose the run, then the modules
Moduel's outlet modules click together into a single connector run, so the decision that matters is how long the run needs to be and where it sits on the wall. A row of two-output modules (Outlet Module O1-2) covers most living-room and home-office jobs; single-output modules (Outlet Module O1-1) fill in where a two-output module would overhang a corner or a skirting board. Every module in the system carries the same 16A 250V rating, earth and protective shutter — there's no mixed-spec guessing between modules.
Mount before you connect
The Wall Mount W1 holds the run flat against the wall and keeps the connector line straight, which matters more than it sounds: a run that isn't mounted square is the single most common reason a customer calls back. Mark the run at the height the customer actually wants it — socket height for most rooms, higher behind a desk or a TV unit — check it's level, and fix the mount before clicking any modules onto it. Confirm the wall type and fixing method on site: the right fixing for plasterboard is not the right fixing for masonry, and that's where a visit runs long if it isn't checked first.
Build the row, then test it
Click the modules together in the order you planned, with an end cap on both ends of the run, and power up before you hand over. Test every output individually, not just the first one in the row — a loose click lower down the run is the fault that gets missed on a quick visual check and comes back as a complaint call.
Label as you go
On a run of four or six identical-looking outputs, the customer will forget which socket is for what within a week. A short label at each output — "TV", "router", "lamp" — saves them a second callout and saves you a ten-minute phone call talking them through it.
The hand-over
Walk the customer through the row once it's live: which output does what, and that the system is modular, so adding another output later means adding a module, not rewiring the circuit. That point is worth saying out loud — it's the reason a customer calls you back for the next room instead of ripping the run out and starting over with something else.
Keep one spare module in the van
If you're fitting Moduel regularly, a spare Outlet Module or two in the van means a customer's last-minute "can you add one more here" doesn't need a second visit.
Moduel's modular system sits behind the same technology as the IKEA ÅSKVÄDER licence: 1.2 million products sold, 100,000+ households in the Nordics, with zero marketing spend behind that track record. Fitting it is meant to be the fast part.
